Optimism surrounding Dogecoin has surged once more, fueled by the rapid traction gained by a recently established payment-centric account on the platform.

Dog-themed memecoin Dogecoin has hit a weekly high following the creation of the new “XPayments” account on X (Twitter) — which has now clocked over 100,000 followers.

DOGE climbed 12.8% in a nine-hour window between late Jan. 20 UTC and hit a seven-day high of $0.08978 in the early hours of Jan. 21, per Cointelegraph Markets Pro. It’s since fallen around 4% in the past day and is currently trading at $0.08330.

While the @XPayments account is yet to make a post and X hasn’t confirmed exactly what payment functions it plans to offer, traders seemingly speculated that DOGE could make part of the offering due to its occasional mention by the site’s owner, Elon Musk.

X users have long hoped that Musk would somehow integrate DOGE into the platform due to multiple cryptic X posts and bio updates from the often-enigmatic billionaire.

Musk has allowed DOGE payments on Tesla’s merchandise store and changed Twitter’s logo to Dogecoin’s shortly after he took over the platform in April 2023, which caused a 22% spike in DOGE’s price.

In December, Musk said he expects payments on X to be launched sometime by mid-2024, last year the company applied for money transmitter licenses in several U.S. states.
