Poor Dogecoin Fails To Integrate On Twitter

The biggest meme coin and Elon Musk favorite had been riding high on the news of Elon Musk takeover of Twitter. Its values have surged substantially on the initial announcement of the deal, after Musk teased a impending integration of Dogecoin into Twitter.

Musk had been a vocal proponent of the memecoin even before the deal, and is largely tied to the token’s rise in popularity. The love of Elon Musk for the canine based meme coin is not hidden from anyone. Musk’s Boring Company had recently announced that it will be accepting Dogecoin for some of its products. However this had a limited impact on the values of Dogecoin.

The memecoin had surged by a whopping 27% when Twitter’s board accepted Musk’s deal. But it has since sharply lost much of these gains.

DOGE is currently trading down about 59% for the year.
