The 33-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter Grimes announced in a tweet that he will accept Dogecoin (DOGE) as a payment method for his soon-to-be-launched “merch.” In addition to his singing, Grimes became a name that came to the fore with his relationship with Elon Musk.

As we reported , earlier this year, Grimes joined the non-fungible token (NFT) movement by selling $5.8 million worth of digital artwork. Tesla CEO Elon Musk liked Grimes’ tweet about Dogecoin adoption. Billy Markus, the creator of the first meme coin project, reacted to this news with a meme from Futurama. Grimes and Musk are co-parents of their son X Æ A-Xii Musk. In June, Musk joked that his baby was a tiny “hodler” of Dogecoin.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin (DOGE) is changing hands at $0.20, down 2.6 percent. The pioneer meme coin has a market cap of $27.7 billion. This makes DOGE the tenth largest coin by market cap. The cryptocurrency is trading as much as 71.4 percent below its all-time high of $0.73 it saw in May.
