Alongside his role as the head of various companies including X and Tesla, the famous billionaire Elon Musk shared a post on the X application to make an important announcement about SpaceX. His post attracted the attention of the community, and some started asking Musk for details. In addition, crypto enthusiasts also posed questions to Musk about when Dogecoin would go to space.
Musk’s Remarkable SpaceX Statement
In his statement, Musk mentioned that in 2024, astronauts will travel further from Earth than in the last 50 years aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft. He also emphasized that Starship could reach the Moon in less than five years.
Crypto Rand, a keen observer of cryptocurrencies, asked Musk when he would take Dogecoin to space, reminding him of his previous statements that he would do so.
SpaceX Accepts DOGE Payment
According to past information, Elon Musk’s SpaceX accepted a payment in DOGE from Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC).
The company’s CEO, Samuel Reid, stated that this transaction was initially carried out three years ago in 2021 to revise the mentioned DOGE-1 Mission. It was announced at that time that the project was postponed.
Initially, the plan was for the mission to take place in 2022 and to be launched as a payload on SpaceX Falcon 9, but the satellite was not ready for launch at that time. Now, it seems that the GEC head is hopeful about going to space as part of the DOGE-1 Mission.
DOGE Transferred to Exchanges
On the other hand, according to data provided by Whale Alert, two large DOGE transactions were made by anonymous crypto whales in the last 24 hours. Surprisingly, 150,000,000 DOGE were sent to the Robinhood exchange during this period, with an approximate value of $12.2 million at the time of writing.
This situation also brought about a potential sale fear among investors, which increased the circulating supply following the transaction.
Additionally, a withdrawal of 63,736,363 DOGE was made from Bittrex and transferred to an unknown crypto wallet. The value of this amount corresponded to $5,205,119.
Following the price movements in the last 24 hours, DOGE reached $0.08092, indicating a 0.2% decrease. The 24-hour trading volume also saw a decline, dropping by 4% to $285 million.
