Founder of Compound (COMP) has acquired some meme cryptocurrency, Dogecoin (DOGE) shortly after the widespread Tiktok video that made the digital currency surge by over 1500% in a short time.
Robert Leshner, Compound founder, and CEO, said he acquired some DOGE in expectation of a more bubble.
When asked why he bought some DOGE, the CEO of the Coinbase-backed crypto platform, said he did want to have “enough skin in the game” to “pay attention to the possibility that TikTok will drive asset prices.”
The trading volume of the joke cryptocurrency continues to spike and it has recorded close to 2000% in trading volume in the last two days, extracted data from different analytics platforms have shown.
The reasons for the price increase, according to observers, are the viral videos on TikTok where people are advised to invest in digital currency.
DOGE bewilders lots of people in the crypto world as the founders of the digital network deserted it after the creation.
Since then, Dogecoin has no CEO for some time now; save for the time the CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, good-humoredly took the position as the CEO of Dogecoin for a day before exiting and he removed the title from his profile on Twitter.
Since then, Doge has been without a CEO; however, the crypto asset continues to maintain a strong position in the crypto market table. Jackson Palmer is among the founders of the meme digital asset.
Meanwhile, since the viral videos about Dogecoin on Tiktok, the interest in Dogecoin has increased to the extent that the global search interest in “how to buy dogecoin” has heightened.
There are some of the TikTok videos that garnered over 100,000 likes. In total, videos with dogecoin hashtag garnered millions of views within a short time.
