Thanks to Elon Musk, Dogecoin (DOGE) has been receiving media attention. However, it was not always for the best reasons. DOGE’s value started to decline as Musk announced his intention to step down as CEO of Twitter recently.
The asset’s price experienced a significant decline. During this time, it was also discovered that the biggest DOGE holder was moving DOGE. However, Elon Musk’s latest tweet has had a significant impact on DOGE.
Musk recently tweeted a Merry Christmas message accompanied by images of three dogs. The first image depicts a DOGE sitting on top of another dog wearing Santa Claus attire. Even though the tweet didn’t have an effect on the price of DOGE, there has been a rise in trading volume.
