Kiss rocker Gene Simmons is bullish on DOGE and XRP

Gene Simmons, a rock and roll legend and a known fan of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), has reaffirmed his bullish stance on crypto by purchasing several cryptos.

The Kiss frontman said on Feb. 1 that he now owns several cryptocurrencies including XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE). Simmons did not hint at how much he invested and noted that his statement is not a recommendation. 

Not recommending any of these to anyone. But yes, I also bought Dogecoin, XRP and others. Make of it what you will.

Simmons claimed that he has also bought and is still planning to purchase major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC). 

Simmons has emerged as a major celebrity voice supporting cryptocurrencies. In 2017, Simmons said that he was interested in Bitcoin as part of his investment strategy. “I am interested in Bitcoin, but only as a piece of the investment puzzle,” he said. 

Simmons’ move to invest in DOGE and XRP comes amid a massive bull run in both cryptocurrencies. As reported by Cointelegraph, both Dogecoin and XRP have been likely pumped by the controversial Reddit community r/Wallstreetbets.

At publishing time, XRP is trading at $0.59, up over 32% over the past 24 hours. DOGE is trading at $0.039, surging around 41% over the past 24 hours.
