Dogecoin, the iconic meme-based cryptocurrency, has once again captured the spotlight following its unexpected brief display on the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) website. This development comes just one day after President Donald Trump officially launched the agency as part of his “Save America” initiative, aimed at reducing government inefficiency. The move has sparked enthusiasm within the Dogecoin community and fueled speculation about its price trajectory.
Dogecoin on U.S DOGE website
Launched on 21 January 2025, the U.S. DOGE website briefly displayed the Dogecoin logo with the caption, “The people voted for major reform.” Additionally, tech-savvy users discovered the Dogecoin logo embedded in the website’s source code, adding to the buzz.
Elon Musk, a long-time advocate of Dogecoin and now the sole leader of the U.S. DOGE initiative, has consistently used his influence to champion the largest memecoin by market capitalization. His involvement has strengthened the connection between Dogecoin and the agency, fueling expectations of increased visibility and adoption.
The news of Dogecoin’s appearance on the DOGE website triggered a 17% rally, with its price rising from $0.34 to $0.40 on Tuesday. However, this momentum was short-lived, as Dogecoin later retraced to $0.37 on the same day, reflecting the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market. Notably, the Dogecoin logo is no longer displayed on the DOGE website at the time of writing. Despite this setback, several market analysts remain optimistic about Dogecoin’s potential for a significant rally in the rising bull market, especially given its historical performance.
Historical trends support Bullish Dogecoin price projections
In a recent update on X, Crypto analyst Ðima James Potts has drawn parallels between Dogecoin’s current cycle and its extraordinary price movements during previous U.S. presidential inaugurations.
He revealed that in 2017, Dogecoin experienced a 30x price increase following the inauguration. Likewise, in 2021, the memecoin showed an impressive performance with an 80x surge after the event.
Accordingly, Potts projects a potential 55x growth for the memecoin in the 2025 cycle, which would potentially elevate Dogecoin’s price to $20. He attributes his optimism to technological advancements, increasing global institutional interest, and Musk’s continued advocacy for the crypto asset.
While optimism abounds, achieving such lofty price targets comes with significant challenges. Notably, a $20 token valuation for Dogecoin would require a market capitalization in the trillions, which may be unrealistic this cycle given current market conditions.
Dogecoin ETF buzz: A bullish future or overhyped expectations?
Adding to the bullish sentiment on Dogecoin, report shows that US asset managers Osprey Funds and Rex Shares filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 21 January 2025 to launch a spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for DOGE, Official TRUMP (TRUMP) and BONK.
Institutional players like Wintermute have also hinted at the possibility of a Dogecoin ETF, which could drive further adoption and price appreciation for the memecoin. These developments come shortly after Gary Gensler resigned as the SEC chairman, with Donald Trump appointing Mark Uyeda as the acting chairman of the commission.
On the whole, the Dogecoin ETF buzz and its unexpected feature on the U.S. DOGE website has reignited interest in the memecoin and bolstered its visibility. While historical trends and Elon Musk’s involvement provide a strong case for a bullish forecast, market participants should be wary of overhyped expectations. Trading at $0.362 at the time of writing, Dogecoin has gained over 5% in the past 24 hours.
