Crypto Surge: Dogecoin Jumps 20% on Trump’s Government  Efficiency Move
 

Dogecoin experienced a significant surge of nearly 20% following President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement of the Department of Government Efficiency, which he referred to as “DOGE.” The memecoin has been a major winner in the postelection rally, boasting a 153% increase since election day, outpacing Bitcoin’s 30% growth.

 

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, former Republican presidential candidate, have been appointed to lead the new department. Their objective is to streamline government functions by dismantling bureaucracy, reducing regulatory excess, and cutting wasteful spending.

Dogecoin, well-known for its retail investor appeal and speculative nature, reached $0.43 before settling at $0.37. It surpassed XRP to become the sixth largest cryptocurrency by market cap. This move reflects increased retail interest and risk appetite in the cryptocurrency market.

 

Elon Musk, a long-time advocate of Dogecoin, has previously influenced its price through social media. His involvement, along with Trump’s pro-crypto advisors, signals potential mainstream adoption, as noted by industry experts like Mike Novogratz of Galaxy Digital.

While Dogecoin rallied, Bitcoin remained stable, trading around $87,000. Other crypto-related stocks, such as Coinbase and MicroStrategy, saw slight declines.
