62% of Dogecoin holders are in profit on hopes of Twitter integration!

Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition put Dogecoin (DOGE) investors 62% in profit, amid speculation that Musk’s Twitter purchase will be positive for memecoin.

DOGE’s price spiked on October 26 when billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk changed his Twitter feed to “Head of Twitter”. The same day, he visited Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco before officially closing the deal as the new owner on October 28.

Over the past seven days, the price of DOGE has risen 98.5% to $0.119 at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko.

This means that as many as 62% of DOGE holders “make a profit at the current price”, according to data from the blockchain information platform IntoTheBlock, which even surpasses bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) holders with 54% . and 57% respectively.

These events saw DOGE’s market capitalization after smart contract platforms Cardano and Solana become the 8th largest cryptocurrency in the world with a market capitalization of $16.3 billion, according to CoinGecko.

The connection between Musk’s purchase of Twitter and the huge surge in the price of DOGE should come as no surprise, as many Dogecoin investors are very hopeful that Musk, known as The Dogefather, will integrate Dogecoin into Twitter in some form .

Dogecoin and crypto fan blogger Matt Wallace told his 678,400 followers on October 28 that he thought this integration would “show what #Dogecoin is capable of”:

Thanks to Elon Musk, Twitter will soon be showing the whole world what it is #Dogecoin able!
