Elon Musk may be one of Dogecoin’s most prominent promoters, but he says the U.S. government has no intention of using it. At a March 30 town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, hosted by his America PAC, Musk distanced the federal Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) from the Dogecoin cryptocurrency. “There are no plans for the government to use Dogecoin or anything as far as I know,” he said. “They happen to be similar names, but really, we’re literally just trying to make the government 1...

Dogecoin Started as a Joke, But DOGE Mining Is Getting Serious
Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency made a comeback at the end of last year as retail investors flooded back into the market to snap up Dogecoin. The coin was launched as a joke in 2013, but has persisted over the years and remained prominent. But just how serious is the business of mining the O.G. meme coin? People are actively buying the machines to do so, according to vendors at this year’s Mining Disrupt conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Though the conference was heavily focused on th...

Bitcoin, Dogecoin in the Clear After SEC Says Crypto Mining Doesn't Violate Securities Law
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Thursday that proof-of-work mining—which underpins Bitcoin and some other blockchain networks—does not violate U.S. securities law. In its latest guidance to clarify rules for the fast-moving industry, the regulator said that mining operations do not need to register their actions as they "do not involve the offer and sale of securities." Securing crypto networks has been a controversial issue in the past, with the SEC under the previous administr...
