For instance, over the course of this past week, Friday especially, Dogecoin and SHIBA INU were two cryptocurrencies that really rallied and saw a surge in the market. The reason behind those coins gaining specifically was Elon Musk. More accurately it was musk’s puppy. Ever since the business tycoon and Tesla CEO announced the name and most recently the arrival of his new Shiba Inu pup on Twitter, the cryptocurrency market and the investors therein have been rushing for Dogecoin and SHIBA. This was the famous ‘Musk’ effect at work.
This Musk effect has been so ‘effective’ that Dogecoin has jumped up all the way to 9th place on CoinMarketCap with a price of $0.2442. Though at the time of this article the coin showed to be trading red at 3.01 per cent over the past day, the change over the course of the week was 1.91 per cent up.
