Dogecoin’s Price Surge Sparks Concerns Over Cryptocurrency Scams

Key points:

• Scammers have taken advantage of the hype surrounding Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies.
• New cryptocurrencies are frequently created, often pertaining to ongoing trends, some of which turn out to be scams.

Dogecoin’s recent rise to $0.1 has been met with praise and concern over scams. PeckShield Alert exposed a “Twitter Logo” project with the same DOGE ticker as the OG meme-crypto, likely to entice and swindle users.

Over the past 24 hours, social media has been abuzz with talk about Twitter Logo, Elon Musk, and Dogecoin. A Twitter executive changed the platform’s logo from the conventional blue bird to Dogecoin, which rapidly increased DOGE value, fetching investors double-digit percentage gains.

However, not all news has been positive. Scammers have taken advantage of the hype surrounding Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies. A recent tweet by PeckShield Alert exposed a project called “Twitter Logo,” which had the same DOGE ticker as the OG meme-crypto. The project was likely intended to entice and defraud users.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. In the meme world, new cryptocurrencies are created frequently, often pertaining to ongoing trends. However, some of these projects turn out to be scams, such as the Solana-based meme coin Bonk, which had a rug pull and experienced a price nosedive of around 97%.

While some from the space expressed shock over the Twitter logo change, others deemed the new logo amazing. A particular user even suggested renaming “tweet” to “bark” to fit the new dog-themed branding. In fact, barks and bonks are quite common in the meme world, and new launches pertaining to ongoing trends keep taking place.

Dogecoin has recently surpassed the psychological $0.1 level and seen its market cap rise from $10.7 billion to $14.1 billion in a matter of hours. However, an immediate pullback transpired, and the figure was down to $13,8 billion at press time. Despite this, Dogecoin has managed to flip Cardano to clinch the seventh position on the overall ranking list.
