Elon Musk Donates Massive $75 Million In US Elections
Billionaire businessman Elon Musk boosted Donald Trump’s presidential run by donating nearly $75 million in donations to America political action committee (PAC), a pro-Republican group. The donation has pushed Musk on the list of top donors for Trump’s reelection bid.
Musk created this PAC to support candidates who support core values of ‘Secure Borders, Sensible Spending, Safe Cities, Fair Justice System, Free Speech and Self-Protection.’ The group has already spent more than $96 million boosting Trump’s reelection bid, according to the independent non-profit OpenSecrets.
Musk Leading Trump to Victory in Pennsylvania
Moreover, ‘Dogecoin fan’ Elon Musk said he will give a series of talks in Pennsylvania until Monday. Those who want to attend need to just sign up for America PAC’s petition for free speech and need to have voted in Pennsylvania.
A source told Reuters that Musk plans more campaigning for Trump in Pennsylvania after his appearance at a Trump rally. His appearances would be connected to his America political action committee.
Tomorrow night through Monday, I will be giving a series of talks throughout Pennsylvania.
If you’d like to attend one of my talks, there’s no attendance fee. You just need to have signed our petition supporting free speech & right to bear arms & have voted in this election. https://t.co/2cjdY7oPtB

Polymarket data reveals that Donald Trump’s odds are now 14% ahead of Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. This shift comes amid Elon Musk’s appearance at Trump rallies.
DOGE Price Gains 8%
Dogecoin is unfazed by the recent broader crypto selloff after a volatile price uptrend in the market. DOGE price currently trades at $0.125, up 8% in the last 24 hours and 22% in a month. Trading volume also saw a more than 50% increase in the last 24 hours.
In the derivatives market, total DOGE futures climbed 22% within just 4 hours as traders moved to buy Dogecoin before it rally. As per Coinglass data, the total Dogecoin futures OI hit a high of 6.05 billion worth $758.41 million.
The strong momentum comes amid Elon Musk’s support for Donald Trump and rising hopes for the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump promised Musk a key position if he wins the presidential election, fueling DOGE to $1 speculation.
Meanwhile, Musk’s Tesla moved all Bitcoin holdings worth $760 million from its public wallet, marking its first BTC transactions in two years. A plausible explanation is for security purposes and spread them across several cold wallets.

This Crypto Analyst Correctly Called The Dogecoin Price Crash, Here Are His Targets
The Dogecoin price is currently correcting after two weeks of intense price upticks that saw it reach $0.426 for the first time since its massive 2021 bull run. However, as is normal after such a crazy rally, the Dogecoin price now seems to be undergoing a brief correction as a few holders start taking profits or exiting their positions overall. Notably, the Dogecoin price is down by 8.5% in the past 24 hours and 13% since it reached $0.426.
Interestingly, this correction was called by a crypto analyst on social media platform X. According to crypto analyst Kevin, recent Dogecoin price action has led to the creation of a weird Dogecoin symmetrical triangle pattern, which could either lead to a correction or a continued upside move.
Analyst Says Symmetrical Triangle Favors Price Correction
Dogecoin has begun consolidating, which is quite normal before the continuation of a rally. As crypto analyst Kevin noted using the 1-hour candlestick timeframe, Dogecoin has been consolidating since November 12. This consolidation has been characterized by the creation of lower highs and higher lows, giving rise to a symmetrical triangle pattern.
Considering that it is coming from a bullish move, the symmetrical triangle has the highest chance of breaking to the upside. However, the analyst noted that there’s a higher chance of correction, especially due to the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) signalling an overbought condition above 90. At the time of his prediction, Dogecoin was trading around $0.39. Since then, its price has declined further, reinforcing the case of a correction.
In the event of continued downward movement, Kevin identified a key support zone between $0.30 and $0.26, which aligns with the golden pocket retracement levels. This range represents a potential 30-40% correction from Dogecoin’s recent top at $0.426. “That’s a 30-40% correction from the local top, which in a bull market is a perfect size correction,” he said.
Keeping in mind the lingering bullish sentiment, Kevin acknowledged in a follow-up post that the Dogecoin price could defy his expectations, and he might be wrong about the consolidation leading to a major correction.
He suggested the possibility that the symmetrical triangle might actually be a bull flag pattern, which is more typically associated with bullish breakouts. If this is the case, the pattern could pave the way for an upward breakout that would drive the Dogecoin price toward a guaranteed target of $0.90.
Current State Of Dogecoin Price
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.37, having decreased by 8.5% in the past 24 hours. Nevertheless, Dogecoin is still on track to finish November with the best monthly gains in over three years. The next few days will be crucial in determining how this plays out; whether the consolidation phase resolves with a sharp correction or a rally to new highs.

FLOKI Price Skyrockets Amid Potential Coinbase Listing, Is 500% Pump Next?
FLOKI price soared to a five-month high after Coinbase included the Ethereum-based memecoin on its listing roadmap.
The token has gained 12% in the past 24 hours and nearly doubled over the week, defying broader crypto market corrections and some analysts claim it could rise by 500% to as much as $0.0015732.
Coinbase Listing Could Send Floki Price Up 500%, Analysts Say
Ethereum-based meme coin Floki (FLOKI) leads as one of the big winners of this week after Coinbase announced it had added the dog-themed token to its listing roadmap.
According to an analyst CRYPTO TISA who says 500% increase in price is to expect. That means, with currents value, FLOKI could reach the price of $0.0015732.
With him agrees Scofield, another analyst on X who claims price of $0,001 seems like a reasonable explanation. He explains that FLOKI listing on Coinbase isn’t just another exchange listing but a validation of what the team has been building and working towards. “Strongest fundamentals, real utility, and now backed by the most trusted name in crypto.”
After the news was announced, the price of Floki Inu surged 21% in under an hour to a five-month-high price above $0.00027. The cryptocurrency named after the real-life dog of Elon Musk is now up by 13% in the last 24 hours, making up for earlier losses during a broader market correction.
Assets added to the roadmap today: FLOKI (FLOKI)https://t.co/rRB9d3hSr2

While the Coinbase listing roadmap usually indicates that crypto tokens might be listed in the future, it is still a good ringer for a spot to be added for trading. However, the exchange has recently made rapid changes in its listing, insinuating its growing openness to meme coins.
Coinbase also announced that FLOKI holders can claim a distribution of 3 billion tokens, following the token’s inclusion on Coinbase’s roadmap. The distribution is based entirely on on-chain activity, ensuring that only eligible users who meet certain criteria can claim their share.
Trump Effect? CB Meme Coin Embrace Signals New Era for Crypto
On Wednesday, Coinbase launched both meme coins by listing Ethereum’s Pepe (PEPE) and Solana’s Dogwifhat (WIF) on its roadmap. The coins simultaneously went live for spot trading.
Floki joined other top meme coins after Coinbase’s inclusion of its roadmap catapulted it to a five-month high – as Coingape correctly predicted.
According to CoinGecko, all three meme coins rank among the world’s 50 most valuable cryptocurrencies by market capitalization for now.
Coinbase has traditionally been cautious about meme coins. Still, it’s quickening the pace of their adoption since the election victory of Donald Trump, who vowed to make crypto regulations easier, interpreted as a sign of friendliness.
Dogecoin, the most valuable meme coins, was earlier at the forefront, doubling in value over a week before cooling off. Although the DOGE dropped 4% today, other meme coins, such as Floki, have grasped the momentum and reflect a wider interest in this very quirky market sector.
Coinbase adding Floki to its listing roadmap has helped push the token’s price to new heights. This claim distribution marks another significant milestone for the Floki ecosystem, which is rapidly growing its utility with upcoming DeFi tools and gaming offerings.

Here’s Why The XRP Price Surged Past $0.8 Despite The Market Dump
The XRP price has just had its biggest 24-hour surge in years to reach its highest level in over two years. Particularly, XRP surged by about 22% in a few hours to reach $0.8386. This intriguing surge has brought into focus XRP’s potential to challenge the narrative of it being dead.
Ironically, this XRP surge is tied to SEC Chair Gary Gensler. This is because the SEC Chair recently made an announcement hinting at what seems like a looming resignation, which seems to have fueled optimism among crypto investors.
Why Did XRP Surge Amidst Market Corrections?
SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, known for his crackdown on Ripple, XRP, and the entire crypto market, made an announcement today regarding his role in the commission. Interestingly, his remarks carried the tone of a farewell speech, reflecting on his journey with the SEC and its staff while hinting at a departure.
This doesn’t come as a surprise, as president-elect Donald Trump has made it a part of his campaign to fire Gensler after he’s sworn into office to appeal to crypto investors. Also, it aligns with the tradition of heads of institutions like the SEC to resign down when a new administration from a different political party takes office.

Beyond the recent remarks by Gary Gensler, the XRP price has also gained momentum from a favorable ruling for Ripple in its ongoing dispute with the SEC. US Judge Phyllis Hamilton recently granted a joint motion for entry of judgement of the plantiff’s claims. Basically, what this means is that the Court has granted Ripple’s request for a hold on individual state law claims until a resolution could be achieved. This ruling represents another minor victory for Ripple as the legal battle stretches on, with a trial date now set for January 21 of next year.
What Does A Gensler Resign Mean For XRP?
The latest XRP rally is a tease of what’s in store for the XRP price in the longer term if Gary Gensler eventually leaves his position as Chairman of the SEC. Firstly, Gensler’s resignation could influence the trajectory of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit. A new SEC chair with a more crypto-friendly perspective might withdraw the appeal against Ripple, essentially removing a great burden that has slowed down XRP price growth.
Beyond the Ripple case, Gensler’s departure could signal a broader shift in the SEC’s regulatory approach to the crypto industry. US president-elect Donald Trump has said he wants the US to be the ‘crypto capital of the planet’. This misson would undoubtedly be reflected through the SEC. This could result in the approval of more exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on cryptocurrencies, including XRP.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.81.
