Dogecoin Leaves Bitcoin, Ethereum In The Dust After This Space Company Literally Plans To Take It 'To The Moon'

Benzinga – Even as the leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) dip, the popular meme-inspired digital currency Dogecoin (DOGE) has bucked the trend with a 5% increase.

What Happened: This growth comes after an announcement said that Dogecoin is scheduled for a lunar trip. Astrobotic, a pioneering space robotics technology company, affirmed plans to transport a physical representation of DOGE to the moon aboard the Peregrine Lunar Lander.

The official statement from Dogecoin asserted, “Astrobotic plans to send a physical Dogecoin to the moon in the DHL Moonbox via ULA’s (United Launch Alliance) Vulcan Centaur Rocket on 12/23/2023. Funded by our community in 2015, this mission embodies collective effort!”
