Dogecoin rallied more than 5% in the last 24 hours, climbing from $0.163 to $0.171, as Elon Musk’s launch of the America Party fueled optimism around a more crypto-aligned political future.
The breakout was backed by over 1.1 billion in trading volume, establishing strong support at $0.166. Whale wallets accumulated aggressively during the move, even as smaller holders exited, suggesting renewed institutional confidence in DOGE.
News Background
- Elon Musk’s surprise announcement of the America Party over the weekend reignited political and crypto debate alike.
- His platform, which includes strong pro-Bitcoin language and sharp criticism of Donald Trump’s “anti-innovation” financial agenda, has sparked speculation about DOGE’s role as a cultural and financial asset in Musk’s movement.
- While no formal mention of Dogecoin was made, Musk’s history of integrating DOGE into Tesla and X (formerly Twitter) products has fueled speculation that the token may play a symbolic or transactional role in the new party’s vision.
- The announcement comes amid broader economic uncertainty. President Trump’s July 9 tariff deadline looms large over global markets, contributing to volatility in crypto and equities alike.
- Despite this, DOGE saw heavy buying from whale wallets — particularly those holding 1M–100M DOGE — even as retail positions declined, according to on-chain data from IntoTheBlock.
