The price of dogecoin has soared to a record high without the tweets of its most influential investor, Elon Musk, the world’s second richest man with an estimated net worth of $190 billion.
The seventh most valuable crypto on the FTX exchange traded at $0.273208 with a daily trading volume of $9.2 billion.
