Dogecoin has jumped 12.5% since yesterday and 40.4% this week, currently trading for $0.33, according to data from CoinGecko.
The weekend surge comes as investor and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban praised the cryptocurrency, joined by none other than Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who’s single-handedly the greatest influence on DOGE pumps.
It began when Cuban announced Friday that Mavericks merchandise bought using Dogecoin would enjoy “special pricing.” It’s unclear whether this special pricing means that Doge holders will enjoy discounts or other offers, however.
Later in an interview with CNBC, he said, “the community for doge is the strongest when it comes to using it as a medium of exchange.”
The comment made headlines, with CNBC tweeting, “Mark Cuban says dogecoin is the ‘strongest’ cryptocurrency as a medium of exchange.” The meme coin enjoyed a hefty 11% boost shortly after.
Elon Musk tweeted in reply, “I’ve been saying this for a while.”
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk continues to stir the pot. In reply to a tweet comparing Bitcoin to Dogecoin, he said that the meme coin will win against Bitcoin if major network changes are implemented. Musk, who has jokingly declared himself the “Dogefather,” tweeted, “Ideally, Doge speeds up block time 10X, increases block size 10X & drops fee 100X. Then it wins hands down.” For those bad at math 👆, 100X higher transaction volume with 100X lower fees means total fees earned stay same. Low fe...
“The point about DOGE that people miss is that DOGE's imperfections and simplicity are its greatest strengths. You can only use it to do 2 things: Spend It or HODL It. Both are easy to understand. And it's cheap to buy. Which makes it a community anyone can join and enjoy,” Cuban tweeted.
He also used the occasion to reveal his current Dogecoin holdings: A meager $494.
The Mavs have what we sold in merch. I personally own $494 worth of DOGE

Cuban wasn’t the only pump fuel this past week.
Another boost for Dogecoin on Saturday was the scoop that Premier League soccer team Watford F.C. would wear Dogecoin on their shirt sleeves in the 2021-2022 season.
Stake.com, a sports betting site whose logo will appear on shirt fronts, is expected to pay at least £700,000 ($970,500) for the deal in an unnamed cryptocurrency. To create some buzz about the partnership, Stake.com also plans to give away 10 million DOGE (worth $3.3 million), possibly to spend on their platform.

Despite the significant gains recently, Dogecoin’s price is still down 54% from its all-time high of $0.73 on May 8.
If Dogecoin manages to keep up the upward momentum, the Doge Day may come early this time.

Nasdaq has applied for a rule change with the SEC that would allow the exchange to list shares of a proposed exchange-traded fund tracking the spot price of Avalanche, according to a filing Thursday. The 19b-4 filing comes a month after the fund giant submitted an application for a VanEck Avalanche ETF, and a little over two weeks after Nasdaq submitted an application for a rules change to list shares of a Grayscale Avalanche fund. These filings and a slew of others tracking top altcoins have de...
Investors remain wary that the $29-trillion U.S. Treasury market is flashing a warning sign, which may force the Federal Reserve to intervene. But that might buoy Bitcoin if prices rise as the central bank introduces more liquidity into markets, says one analyst. Benchmark yields have trended upward since Treasuries were hit with a selloff on Monday. Ten-year yields were hovering around 4.36% on Thursday, despite a small surge on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump decided to pause most...
The price of Bitcoin fell to $79,500 on Thursday, erasing much of the prior day’s gains after jumping to $83,300, as jubilation over U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff pause faded. BTC was recently down about 3.1% over the past 24 hours. The president lowered tariffs on most nations to 10% yesterday, sparking a furious rally within the cryptosphere and broader markets, as investors contemplated how the U.S. had avoided a trade war with 180 nations caught up in Trump’s “Liberation Day” announce...
