There might be a new unexpected digital asset coming to disrupt global payments: Dogecoin.

‍What’s happening:‍

• Popular digital asset Dogecoin has recently begun to accelerate as a form of payment with large publicly traded companies around the world
  

Who is making moves:‍

• Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) just recently has enabled Dogecoin to be used as a payment method at certain electric vehicle charging stations
  
• AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) currently accepts Dogecoin as payment within their move theatres in the United States of America
  

Why it matters:‍

• Dogecoin has largely been seen as a meme coin with very little underlying utility prior to starting to become adopted as a method of payment, which has dramatically changed the potential for Dogecoin to continue to be a highly valuable digital asset as well as an important decentralized technology network
  

By the numbers:‍

• Approximately 2,500 different businesses globally currently accept Dogecoin as payment
  

Going deeper:‍

• Online electronics and computer hardware retailer Newegg Commerce (NASDAQ: NEGG) has also begun to accept Dogecoin as payment for online orders
  

The intrigue:‍

• Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) owned streaming platform Twitch was one of the first large companies to ever accept Dogecoin as a payment and continues to allow users to use Dogecoin as a method of payment
