A Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) competitor has skyrocketed in value this week as Bitcoin and numerous other crypto projects have seen significant price increases.
The meme coin Dogelon Mars (ELON) has surged by nearly 50% in the past seven days and is trading at $0.000002 at time of writing. The 126th-ranked crypto asset by market cap appears to be derived from Elon Musk’s ambitions to bring humans to Mars.
When the token first dropped, 50% of the supply was airdropped to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin. Within two months of the token launch, Buterin donated his entire ELON stack to the Methuselah Foundation, a non-profit medical charity for life extension and longevity research.
ELON is also now the most traded token among the top 1000 ETH whales, according to the crypto tracker WhaleStats.
