DOGE- How a Meme became Political

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has become an unexpected flashpoint in the debate over cryptocurrency’s role in governance. With its acronym matching that of Dogecoin, the agency has drawn scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest, ethical dilemmas, and legal concerns. Critics argue that this alignment could be perceived as implicit government support for a speculative asset, raising questions about market manipulation, insider trading risks, and the growing influence of digital currencies in political decision-making. As regulators and policymakers respond to the controversy, the DOGE situation could set a precedent for how governments interact with financial innovations in the future. Will this be remembered as a branding mishap, or the first step in a new era of crypto-integrated governance?
