Ahead of the Jan. 12 launch of the Doge-1 satellite, two crypto tokens linked to the mission are experiencing a surge in price. GEC and XI, two tokens managed by Geometric Energy Corporation, a space logistics and energy company, have more than quadrupled and increased by 36% respectively in the past week. Geometric Energy announced the mission in May 2021 and it is set to be paid entirely in Dogecoin (DOGE). This mission is one of two dogecoin related missions planned in the coming months, with the second mission scheduled to take place later this month. Both of these launches demonstrate Dogecoin's expanding use case and popularity in a variety of contexts, marking a mainstream departure from its original status as a meme token. With the backing of SpaceX founder Elon Musk and further dogecoin related missions on the horizon, the cryptocurrency looks set to continue its journey into the future.
