(Reuters) - Dogecoin's Shiba Inu dog replaced Twitter's blue bird as the social media company's logo on Monday, helping the meme coin add as much as $4 billion to its market value.
The token, born as a satire of a cryptocurrency frenzy in 2013 and has no fundamental use, on Tuesday surged to 10 cents around 1500 EST from 7 cents as Elon Musk indicated in a tweet he had delivered on his promise of changing the social media app's logo to dogecoin's dog.
