Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has announced the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a federal body aimed at streamlining government operations and cutting regulations. The department will be run by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy starting January 2025. The announcement coincides with speculation about Musk potentially joining Trump's administration and has sparked attention due to its acronym, which matches the popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE). Armstrong endorsed the creation of the DOGE agency as a way to promote economic freedom and enhance government efficiency. He also proposed constitutional amendments to limit federal spending and establish a sovereign wealth fund for U.S. citizens. Although there is no direct affiliation between the department and Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency experienced a price surge following the announcement. The launch of the department highlights efforts to reform federal operations, while Armstrong's proposals contribute to the conversation on governance and economic incentives.
