Meanwhile, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk&#8217;s rebranding of Twitter to X, part of a plan to make it into an all-singing, all-dancing super app, has rekindled hopes he&#8217;ll somehow incorporate dogecoin, once again pumping the dogecoin price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\">Now, Musk has quietly added the dogecoin \u00d0 symbol to his X account amid a flurry of interactions with dogecoin fan accounts\u2014with bitcoin and crypto market watchers predicting Musk&#8217;s plans for X could be an &#8220;absolute game-changer.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>It&#8217;s at the start of a bull run you need up-to-date information the most!&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"#49ee29f83534\"><strong>Sign up now for the free\u2002<\/strong><strong><em><strong><em>CryptoCodex<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u2014<strong>A daily newsletter for traders, investors and the crypto-curious that will keep you ahead of the market<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\">&#8220;If we consider Musk\u2019s vision for creating an everything app, it would be an absolute game-changer to incorporate cryptocurrency payments as part of that ecosystem,\u201d Raluca Cherciu, the co-founder and CEO of Unpaired, an online community exploring how emerging technologies can foster real-world connection,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/business\/2023\/07\/25\/elon-musks-twitter-overhaul-could-be-huge-for-doge-and-crypto-generally\/\">told<\/a>&nbsp;<em>Coindesk<\/em>.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\">&#8220;This not only resonates with the hugely active crypto community on Twitter, but also echoes Musk\u2019s well-known fascination with the cryptosphere.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\">Musk&#8217;s rebranding of Twitter to X, ostensibly part of a plan to turn the app into a one-stop shop powerhouse, has puzzled both users of the platform and business analysts who have questioned the wisdom of ditching such a globally recognized brand for a generic one-letter name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\">Musk first bought X.com, which now redirects to Twitter.com, for his online bank startup in 1999 before merging it with Peter Thiel and Max Levchin&#8217;s Confitinity and rebranding to PayPal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\">The Twitter rebranding to X &#8220;does have implications for crypto in the short-term as it moves markets, and in the long-term as Musk looks to build out payment networks using his own platform that could soon compete with the likes of ethereum, bitcoin or others,&#8221; Simon Peters, market analyst at eToro, said in emailed comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/digital-assets\/2023\/07\/26\/elon-musk-has-quietly-primed-crypto-for-an-absolute-game-changer-that-could-cause-chaos-for-the-price-of-bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-and-dogecoin\/?sh=4afe44a0242f\">Forbes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BitcoinBTC&nbsp;0.0%&nbsp;and ethereum, the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, have been thrust back into the limelight by first Ripple&#8217;s XRPXRP&nbsp;0.0%&nbsp;and now dogecoin following&nbsp;a shock Wall Street crypto flip.
