Within 30 minutes of the site’s discovery, Dogecoin’s DOGE $0.3724 price surged 14.4%, reaching $0.396 before settling at $0.3782. The price jump also increased Dogecoin's market cap to $58 billion.

The site domain was registered in Los Angeles, California, on January 21 by a member of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. When contacted, the registrar confirmed the website’s status as an official government platform. However, Elon Musk has not commented on this development.

The website has a dark background and a small amount of text. Its most interesting feature is the Dogecoin logo, a familiar image of a Shiba Inu within a golden coin.

Unlike the original Shiba Inu SHIB $0.0000208 photo, this version closely resembles the standard Dogecoin design, minus the usual white “D.” A closer look at the site’s source code reveals ASCII art of Doge, which strengthens its connection to the cryptocurrency.

Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy has stepped down from DOGE, leaving Musk as the sole leader of the agency. What happened? Read the full story.
