At press time, the cryptocurrency had surged by 37 percent to $0.004306.
Explaining the listing in a tweet, Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao referenced dogecoin's popularity, saying:
"This one is an exception, as there isn't much new tech development (I guess it was never about the tech for this one). The users/community is large, and a famous "ex-CEO" (cough @elonmusk) helps!"
Back in April, soon after calling bitcoin “brilliant,” Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted “Dogecoin might be my fav cryptocurrency. It’s pretty cool.” He also briefly changed his Twitter bio to read: “CEO of Dogecoin.”
