   • 2024 November 13, Shaurya Malwa, “Dogecoin Trade Goes From Meme to Reality as Donald Trump Confirms D.O.G.E”, in CoinDesk‎^[1] (in English):

     A CoinDesk analysis flagged in mid-October about DOGE trade gaining interest among investors for its memetic nature, and that there could be more chatter of “DOGE” in mainstream media and retail trading circles that fuels attention and interest in the token.

Usage notes

This code is incompatible with ISO 4217, as currency codes under that standard must be three characters long. The code XDG is therefore used when a compatible alternative is necessary.
