The upward movement is supported by a number of factors, such as the announcement by asset manager Fidelity that its clients will be able to use part of their pensions to invest in bitcoin and the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk, a notorious enthusiast of digital assets. The legalization of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the Central African Republic, which, despite having an economy of little relevance on the global stage, can offer another successful use case for the technology, should also be considered.

The move is due to the fact that Musk has already spoken several times about his interest in Dogecoin, and the acquisition of Twitter fuels rumors that the cryptocurrency could be used on the social network and that the new owner of the platform will use its reach to accelerate the exchange of information. adoption of the asset, which caused a strong increase in the buyer flow.
