This integration with Coinbase.com enables the Coinbase Commerce customers to convert their crypto-related payments into international currencies like US dollars, Euros, Pounds, and the digital stable currency USDC without leaving the e-commerce platform.

At the time of reporting, the value of Doge was at $0.193975, up by 7 per cent, with the Market Cap at $25,122,421,820.

The surge in Doge’s value is also backed by the reports in which SpaceX and Tesla chief Elon Musk said he personally holds Ether (ETH) and Doge coins, adding that Space X owns Bitcoin.

The announcement has backed Doge’s vale and pushed ETH and BTC in a northwards direction. ETH was trading 4 per cent higher at $1,969.83, and BTC was up by 1.7 per cent at $31,897.81.
