Dogecoin (DOGE) suffered a big blow on April 20, popularly known as “Dogeday,” thanks to the failed test launch of SpaceX’s Starship rocket and a downturn in the broader crypto market.

The SpaceX rocket, which featured the Dogecoin mascot on its side, disintegrated four minutes after its launch. Still, the company’s employees, including Elon Musk, cheered the failure as they expressed optimism for another test in the coming months.
