Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) is climbing higher Tuesday despite a backdrop of pullbacks for the broader crypto market. The popular meme coin’s token price was up 3% over the past 24 hours as of 11:40 a.m. ET. Bitcoin‘s price was down 0.9%, and the price of Ethereum was down 1.6%.
In conjunction with President Trump’s inauguration yesterday, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) launched its website. While the government advisory commission isn’t directly connected to the Dogecoin cryptocurrency, the new website features the Dogecoin logo.

Dogecoin investors are getting a pleasant surprise with the new Department of Government Efficiency website. The advisory commission is being led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has long been a supporter of the meme coin.
The Department of Government Efficiency’s name was likely chosen by Musk because its acronym is the same as Dogecoin’s crypto ticker symbol. The tech leader has been leaning into the meme culture surrounding the cryptocurrency, and the inclusion of its logo for the new advisory commission under the Trump administration appears to be his latest message of support for the token.
Along with macroeconomic trends and other dynamics shaping the broader cryptocurrency, references and signs of support have been one of the biggest pricing catalysts for Dogecoin. The CEO has repeatedly shown that his comments and actions can have a significant impact on the crypto market, and Dogecoin in particular, and it’s likely that this will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.
Some investors are hoping that Dogecoin will be incorporated into the new payments system being launched by X — the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that is also owned and ran by Musk. Given the CEO’s repeated indications of support for the cryptocurrency, it’s not unreasonable to think that Dogecoin will be integrated into X’s upcoming payments network. If this comes to pass, it could wind up being a substantial bullish catalyst for the token.
On the other hand, Dogecoin’s pricing outlook remains highly speculative, and investors should approach the token with the understanding that it’s a risky bet. If the crypto bull market continues, Dogecoin could continue to rally — but there are no guarantees on that front.
