A day after revealing that Tesla Inc. would stop accepting bitcoin as payment for its cars, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk suggested Thursday that another cryptocurrency, Dogecoin, could be turned into a suitable replacement.

“Working with Doge devs to improve system transaction efficiency,” Musk tweeted. “Potentially promising.”

Dogecoin DOGEUSD, +18.84% prices immediately shot higher, after bitcoin BTCUSD, +2.18% took a large hit in the wake of Wednesday’s announcement. Tesla’s TSLA, -3.09% purchase of $1.5 billion in bitcoin and acceptance of the cryptocurrency as a payment option was seen at the time as a sign of growing institutional acceptance of crypto.
