The rally in the memecoin sub-sector comes after a video posted on X.com showed Elon Musk discussing the possibility of customers being able to purchase Tesla cars with Dogecoin.
"When can you buy Tesla with Dogecoin? At some point, I think we should enable that," Musk said in a video uploaded by X user @dogeofficialceo. The Tesla CEO made the comments during a recent visit to the firm's Giga factor in Berlin. "You can buy Tesla merch with Doge, which is cool. So, Dogecoin to the moon," he added.
