Elon Musk says SpaceX may put DOGE 'on the moon' next year

Musk replied “maybe next year” to a post referencing his old pledge to put Dogecoin “on the literal moon,” reviving a long-running SpaceX-DOGE thread that has included merchandise payments and the delayed DOGE-1 mission.

What to know:

  • Elon Musk reignited speculation about dogecoin after replying "Yes" on X to a post hinting at the meme token's future rise.
  • Musk and his companies Tesla and SpaceX have previously embraced Dogecoin for select merchandise and backed the DOGE-1 satellite mission, one of the token's few real-world uses.
  • Dogecoin still trades about 90 percent below its 2021 peak, and no new initiatives were announced, underscoring how the token's visibility remains heavily tied to Musk's sporadic public engagement.

Elon Musk revived dogecoin’s (DOGE) “to the moon” storyline on Tuesday, replying “maybe next year” to a post resurfacing his earlier claim that SpaceX would put a “literal dogecoin on the literal moon.”

That Musk/DOGE ship, however, may have sailed. Five years ago, a Musk mention might have sent the memecoin surging higher, but DOGE didn't flinch this time around, continuing to trade just below $0.11, down nearly 60% year over year and roughly 90% from the 2021 peak.

The comment came after the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley account tagged Musk with “When @elonmusk?” alongside a screenshot of his January 2021 post promising the Dogecoin-on-the-moon stunt.

Musk responded first with “Yes,” then followed up with: “Maybe next year,” drawing hundreds of thousands of views and quickly reigniting speculation around whether SpaceX plans to tie a future payload or promotional stunt to the meme token.

Musk has repeatedly voiced support for Dogecoin over the years, and his remarks have historically been enough to jolt attention — and sometimes price — back toward the token. In 2022, he said SpaceX would accept Dogecoin for some merchandise, echoing Tesla’s earlier move to take DOGE payments for select items.

SpaceX has also been linked to Dogecoin through the DOGE-1 mission, a small satellite funded entirely in DOGE and slated to fly aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. First announced in 2021, the mission has faced repeated delays, but has cleared regulatory steps that keep it alive as one of the most visible Dogecoin-adjacent projects tied to SpaceX.

Neither Musk nor SpaceX provided details on what “next year” might refer to, and the company has not announced any new Dogecoin-related initiatives.

Still, the exchange shows how even a vague timeline hint from Musk can pull Dogecoin back into the spotlight — and reopen a narrative thread that has outlasted multiple crypto cycles.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
