What Caused Dogecoin’s Recent Spike?
Dogecoin has hit a three-year high, climbing to US$0.36 (AU$0.54). This notable increase is believed to be driven by speculation surrounding possible connections between Elon Musk and the Trump administration, reigniting interest in this meme-themed cryptocurrency.
