Elon Musk added a “Д to his Twitter profile after rebranding it X, triggering speculation that it referred to DOGE and sparking a rally in the coin amid speculation it may have a future payments role on the platform.<\/p>\n

DOGE, a popular meme coin supported by Musk<\/a>, rose 12% after Twitter’s rebranding and is up more than 4% in the past 24 hours amid hopes that prospects for DOGE will get a boost from the newly-branded social media platform.<\/p>\n

Musk wants to transform X into an ”everything app” similar to China’s WeChat, providing users with services from banking to payments. Done right, Musk said yesterday that X may become half of the global financial system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DOGE fans bought into the hype as the coin’s price<\/a> reached a 10-week high, raising its market capitalization to almost $11 billion.  Daily trading volume also soared 437%.<\/p>\n
