Some Twitter users began to find the [home button](https://twitter.com/home "undefined") in the top left corner of their web browsers — usually the company’s solid blue bird logo — replaced with a cartoon of the Shiba Inu that’s the face of the Doge meme at around 1:45 p.m. New York time. Dogecoin rose to as high as 10.2 cents from around 7.7 cents after the change. Doge also began to trend on Twitter. The token gave up some gains to trade 8.6% higher at 11 a.m. in London. > [](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1642962756906418176) The shift comes days after Twitter began making changes to its verification system. Some accounts with so-called legacy verification, like the New York Times, saw their check marks removed. Others have kept their checks with a note they were either Blue subscribers or legacy verified accounts. --- ### More from TIME --- Twitter didn’t respond to a question about the home button change. At 3:44 p.m. in New York, Twitter owner [Elon Musk](https://time.com/person-of-the-year-2021-elon-musk/ "undefined") posted a photo of an earlier exchange in which a Twitter user urged him to change the bird logo to a doge. Musk tweeted: “As promised.” Reuters reported on March 31 that Musk had asked a US judge to [throw out](https://www.reuters.com/legal/elon-musk-seeks-end-258-billion-dogecoin-lawsuit-2023-04-01/ "undefined") a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support Dogecoin, citing a filing with Manhattan federal court. — With assistance from Aisha Counts and Aysha Diallo. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6268366/dogecoin-shares-twitter-logo-musk/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6268366/dogecoin-shares-twitter-logo-musk/"},"headline":"Dogecoin Soars 30% After Elon Musk Replaces Twitter Logo With Doge Meme","datePublished":"2023-04-04T09:30:12.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-11T20:30:37.000Z","description":"The cryptocurrency rose as much as 30% after Twitter users noticed their home buttons.","url":"https://time.com/6268366/dogecoin-shares-twitter-logo-musk/","keywords":["Social Media","Tech","wire"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt378571dbb9ac11ac/698a3bab16d884edb5c3bb47/GettyImages-1250752986.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Max Zimmerman / Bloomberg"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt378571dbb9ac11ac/698a3bab16d884edb5c3bb47/GettyImages-1250752986.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Twitter logo replaced with Dogecoin symbol","caption":"Twitter logo replaced with Dogecoin symbol","creditText":"Andreas Arnold—picture alliance via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/social-media/","name":"Social Media"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6268366/dogecoin-shares-twitter-logo-musk/","name":"Dogecoin Soars 30% After Elon Musk Replaces Twitter Logo With Doge Meme"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How Logan Paul’s Crypto Empire Fell Apart","description":"In late 2021, 20-year-old Rueben Tauk asked his father for £50,000 ($67,000 at the time) to invest in YouTuber Logan Paul’s crypto project, CryptoZoo.

More than a year later, Tauk and his father have lost almost all of that investment. CryptoZoo still does not exist as a game, and as of the day of publication, the value of its tokens has plummeted to less than a hundredth of its August 2021 peak.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/hso7S0fj/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-02-06T23:24:57.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/hso7S0fj.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/6268366/dogecoin-shares-twitter-logo-musk/","duration":"PT9M58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/6268366/dogecoin-shares-twitter-logo-musk/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
