Dogecoin investors continue to be hopeful that Musk’s vision for Twitter 2.0 will include some form of DOGE integration.
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has confirmed that he intends to integrate payments into what he describes as Twitter 2.0 — “The Everything App” — fuelling a short-lived 19.4% price surge for meme-inspired cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE).
The new Twitter CEO revealed his plans in a Nov. 27 tweet to his 119.2 million followers, in which he shared several slides from a recent “Twitter company talk.”
While Musk made no mention of DOGE in the tweet or in the attached slides, this didn’t appear to stop some investors from being hopeful that Dogecoin would be involved in some way.
According to data from CoinGecko, Dogecoin’s price surged 19.4% from $0.089 to $0.107 over several hours after the tweet before cooling off to $0.096 at the time of writing.
Other plans listed as part of Musk’s vision for Twitter 2.0 included “Advertising as Entertainment,” “Video,” “Encrypted DMs,” “Longform Tweets” and “Relaunch Blue Verified.”
Data from the slides also suggest that Musk’s takeover of the company has already made an impact, with the social media platform reaching an all-time high in terms of “new user signups” and “user active minutes,” which were up 86% and 30% respectively over the last week in comparison to the same seven day period in 2021.
