NEW YORK: Dogecoin rose as much as 30% after Twitter users noticed their home buttons changed into the dog meme after which the cryptocurrency is named.
Some Twitter users began to notice the home button in the top left corner of their web browsers — usually the company’s solid blue bird logo — replaced with a cartoon of the Shiba Inu that is the face of the Doge meme at around 1.45pm New York time.
Dogecoin rose to as high as 10.2 cents from around 7.7 cents after the change. Doge also began to trend on Twitter.
