Dogecoin spikes 9% after logo appears to find way back to Musk's Twitter

Dogecoin mania made a comeback on Tuesday after a logo for the popular meme-based cryptocurrency seemed to find its way to the profile of Elon Musk's rebranded Twitter account. 

The price of the world's seventh largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization rose 8.9% to $0.08 at 4:39 p.m. in New York, according to CoinGecko. That's the highest price since April, with trading volume surging to more than $1.7 billion.

The rally took place as the symbol "Ð" appeared in a part of Musk's Twitter profile that's usually used to signify a location. It was placed right behind the new "X" logo for the company.

Doge's steady rise

Musk's tweets have long been known to influence the price of dogecoin. The cryptocurrency surged earlier this year after Twitter briefly changed its logo to a meme of a Shiba Inu dog that's associated with the token, only to crash more than 8% after it was removed. 

Dogecoin's market capitalization currently stands at $11.4 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. It's the third best preforming token tracked by the platform over the past week, rising 18.9%.
