The original announcement dates back to March 2021, when BitPay integrated Dogecoin payments for merchants and consumers. The Dallas Mavericks, known for their early crypto adoption, were one of the first in the crypto-sports partnerships with the meme coin acceptance.

DOGE as a payment medium

Bitcoin became one of the payment methods for the Mavs in 2019.

The addition of DOGE allowed ‘Mavs Fans for Life or MFFLs’ to utilize Dogecoin to purchase game tickets and merchandise online, expanding accessibility to Mavs gear.

Continued acceptance of Dogecoin in 2024 leads to discussions about the meme coin’s growth potential this year. What is noteworthy in this discussion is Elon Musk’s recent mention of X’s integrated payments feature. The launch brings renewed attention to Dogecoin’s utility and integration into the payment ecosystem.

One of the major markets for DOGE has been India.

Kashif Raza from Bitinning pointed out in a post on X that within the 26-35 age group, DOGE has surpassed BTC. This is in terms of investments within a group that represents 40% of India’s 19 million crypto investors
