At its all-time record on Friday, the crypto had gained over 9,200% for the ytd time period. Doge closed 2020 at 0.47 cents and briefly went over 1 cent in early 2021.
After going back below 1-cent level for most of January, Doge then hit a high of 8.49 cents in February, as Musk pushed it to the moon with his tweets. After this, Doge started consolidating and was largely held inside the 5-7 cent range.
With the listing of Coinbase on the NYSE last week, a new drive in crypto started and Doge quickly used the momentum and optimism to see a meteoric rise.
There are also companies that have started accepting Doge as payment. Among them, easyDN, a web hosting company and BOTS, a robotics company.
“Like Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Litecoin, Dogecoin is a very popular cryptocurrency people use to trade and buy., a BOTS spokesperson said.
