Meme Token Assets See Double-Digit Gains on Monday Following Dogecoin’s Rise
Following Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter for $44 billion, digital currency markets jumped in value and crypto meme tokens saw a significant spike. 24-hour statistics at 4 p.m. (ET) on Monday had shown dogecoin (DOGE) jumped 26.3% in value against the U.S. dollar.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is still up 18.8% today and is hovering just above the $0.15 zone. Many believe the rise is based on mere speculation that Musk could possibly implement dogecoin payments into some of Twitter’s operations.

While DOGE, ELON, and SHIB all saw percentage gains, the fourth largest meme coin asset baby doge coin (BABYDOGE) is still down 0.8% at the time of writing. Floki inu (FLOKI) on the other hand, jumped 2.1% higher against the U.S. dollar during the last 24 hours.
Other notable meme token increases came from coins like kishu inu, samoyedcoin, catecoin, the doge NFT shards, and hoge finance. Litedoge (LDOGE) spiked 162.6% higher and vitoge (VITOGE) saw a 98.8% gain on Monday.
