CoinDesk Report:
Dogecoin (DOGE) was the first meme cryptocurrency to make its debut and has amassed a large following over the years. Despite its popularity, the asset has struggled to gain price momentum, with DOGE declining by 26.33% over the past 30 days. This sentiment has persisted into July, with the meme coin currently trading at $0.1198, marking a 3.14% decrease over the last 24 hours.
Despite stagnant prices, some investors, including prominent figures, remain undeterred. Elon Musk, who has been vocal about Dogecoin on Twitter for years, recently emphasized its importance among his three cryptocurrencies. Beyond tweets, Musk has also enabled practical use cases for DOGE holders, adding a range of products purchasable with Dogecoin on Tesla’s online store.
While Elon Musk undoubtedly leads the pack, he is not alone in the lineup of influential supporters. Other notable figures include:
