Investing.com Dogecoin jumped by over 21% on Tuesday morning and was the best performing major cryptocurrency after Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the automaker will make some merchandise buyable with the coin and “see how it goes”.

 

Elon Musk has long been a supporter of Dogecoin, confirming earlier this year that he has invested in it, along with Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Yesterday, the Tesla CEO was announced as Time’s Person of the Year. In a wide-ranging interview, Musk reiterated his support for the meme-based coin.

“The transaction volume of Bitcoin is low and the cost per transaction is high,” Musk said in an interview published on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR). “Fundamentally, Bitcoin is not a good substitute for transactional currency. Dogecoin is better suited for transactions.”

However, Musk still doubts that cryptocurrencies will replace fiat currency and denied that his tweets move the markets in ways that wouldn’t happen anyway.

“Markets move themselves all the time based on nothing as far as I can tell,” Musk told Time. “So the statements that I make, are they materially different from random movements of the stock that might happen anyway? I don’t think so.”

    • The crypto market appears to be showing signs of recovery, with significant improvements in the Sharpe Ratios of Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum, according to an article published on Friday.  The Sharpe Ratio, a measure used to understand the return of an investment compared to its risk, has seen a notable increase for both cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's Sharpe Ratio has risen from -2.4 to 0.68, while Ethereum and BGB have also experienced a similar uptrend. This change signifies higher returns at lower risk, which is expected to attract more investors to the crypto market. In addition to the improved Sharpe Ratios, increased network activity and trading volume as shown on CEXs like Bitget, Binance, and a few DEXs are suggesting a healthier market state. The current trading prices of Bitcoin, reflect this overall positive market sentiment. As of Friday, Bitcoin was trading at $27,069.73, BGB at $0.454 and Ethereum at $1,677.89. These developments are significant as they indicate reduced risk in the crypto market. The increase in the Sharpe Ratios for Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum suggests that these cryptocurrencies are becoming less risky investments, which could potentially lead to an influx of new investors into the market.  Could this rise in Sharpe Ratios coupled with increased network activity and trading volume point towards a recovering and less risky crypto market?
