The OG meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) has been struggling with its price. Despite the multiple high-profile endorsements, DOGE failed to rally and meet the coveted $1 mark.
At press time, the meme coin was trading at $0.09531. DOGE was seen dropping by 4.26% over the past 24 hours. This means that the asset is close to 1000% below the dollar milestone.

Investor confidence was restored in the market after Elon Musk’s latest tweet. The CEO of SpaceX revealed that DOGE may be accepted in exchange for Tesla-related merchandise.
The price of DOGE did not react strongly to this. Once Tesla adds Dogecoin, the asset could witness a major price increase. But the real question is if it will be enough to drive the OG meme coin to $1.

When Will DOGE Reach the $1 Mark?
Reaching $1 has been a task for DOGE. About three years ago, the asset hit an all-time high of $0.7376. This was the closest that DOGE has gotten to its dollar milestone. At present, the meme coin remains 87% below this peak. Looking back at this data, $1 seems to be nearly impossible.
But it should be noted that Dogecoin is more than 111115.16% higher than its low of $0.00008547. Throughout the past year, the meme coin rose by 50%.
Data from Changelly suggests that DOGE will surge to $1 only in 2029, particularly in November 2029. However, if Musk brings DOGE back into the Tesla realm, the asset could reach this mark sooner than expected.

In addition, endorsements from other influential figures, increased adoption, and an overall market rise could boost the value of the OG meme cryptocurrency. But the lack of utility could be a major problem for the network. Certain merchants have been accepting the asset for payments. But DOGE is certainly sidelined when it comes to real-life use cases.
