Elon Musk‘s latest endeavors has notably impacted the cryptocurrency market, particularly Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE).
According to the Santiment data, the meme coin, often championed by Musk, saw a remarkable $800 million increase in open interest within three days.
Over the past 72 hours, the price of Dogecoin has surged by 35%, hitting a weekly high of $0.17 on Saturday.

The news comes as Musk’s X Payments LLC, a social media offshoot of his X motif (X.com, SpaceX, xAI), expands its operational footprint by securing money transmitter licenses in three additional states: New Mexico, Oregon, and Illinois.
This development, announced on March 20, 2024, increases the total number of states where X Payments can legally operate to 22.
Musk’s acquisition of X in 2022 was a step towards transforming it into an “everything app,” with integrated payment solutions playing a crucial role.
Despite regulatory hurdles slowing down the expansion, adding these states marks significant progress toward achieving Musk’s vision to compete with PayPal, where hewas previously CEO, as well as Venmo and WhatsApp.
Market data indicates that the bullish reaction of DOGE traders to Musk’s recent actions has significantly contributed to the ongoing rise in Dogecoin’s price.
This surge is attributed to speculation that Dogecoin could become the preferred currency for X’s payment ecosystem.
As X Payments continues to navigate regulatory landscapes and expand its services, the crypto community remains watchful for any developments that could further intertwine Musk’s tech and payment innovations with digital currencies like Dogecoin.
