The meme-inspired cryptocurrency skyrocketed 130 percent over the last week amid news Tesla chief executive Elon Musk's reported appearance on Saturday Night Live.

The altcoin was also added to Israeli trading platform eToro and cryptocurrency exchange platform Gemini on Tuesday, with analysts stating Dogecoin had "remarkably strong fundamentals" and added it "should not be ignored".

"Dogecoin has remarkably strong fundamentals and powerful forces supporting its rise: a genuine origin story, longevity, and a growing community of users who appear determined to meme a Shiba Inu-themed global currency into existence. We don’t expect dogecoin to become the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency any time soon, but doge should not be ignored," Galaxy Digital Research analysts said in a recent report.

The cryptocurrency climbed along with Ethereum, Bitcoin, Litecoin and others in April. The altcoin started as a joke in 2013 but has reached a market capitalisation of $30bn in recent months, according to exchange figures.

Dogecoin is based on the Luckycoin blockchain and was designed by IBM developer Billy Markus and Adobe data scientist Jackson Palmer in 2013. The cryptocurrency can be purchased on exchanges such as Binance and BitPanda.
