Elon Musk Changed the Twitter Name Again, This Meme Coin Rose Over 2x!
Elon Musk's change of his X profile name back to "Kekius Maximus" increased the price of the Ethereum-based meme coin KEKIUS by more than 100% in a single day.
On Friday, May 17, Elon Musk attracted attention in the crypto world again by changing his username on X (formerly Twitter) to "Kekius Maximus." This change led to a rapid increase of over 100% in the price of the meme coin called KEKIUS, which operates on the Ethereum (ETH) network. This became another example of how Musk's social media moves impact the cryptocurrency markets.
KEKIUS was launched on Ethereum and Solana blockchains five months ago. The coin, which first drew attention when Musk used the same name at the end of 2024, had reached a market value of $380 million with an increase of over 900% at that time. This time, the price has risen to approximately $0.055, while the fully diluted market cap is calculated to be $55 million. The 24-hour trading volume was approximately $37 million.
