Elon Musk Celebrates Dogecoin-Themed Easter But The Meme Coin Is Still Plunging Hard

Dogecoin DOGE/USD traded 5.8% lower over 24 hours at $0.135 at press time early on Monday, declining with other major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum as the global cryptocurrency market cap fell 3.9% to $1.8 trillion.

This came even as Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk shared a photo on Twitter that featured Dogecoin-themed easter eggs and, supposedly, his own pet Shiba Inu dog Floki.
