🚨 The new AI avatar “Ani” by Elon Musk creates a $70 million “meme” cryptocurrency on Solana.
Elon Musk has named the new AI from xAI “Ani”, triggering a new frenzy around Grok 4 and the company's latest AI association algorithm.
An eponymous meme coin “Ani” on the Solana network (CRYPTO: SOL) has skyrocketed its market capitalization to $70 million in just three days.
This financial frenzy, unrelated to any character, has sparked reactions among cryptocurrency enthusiasts, who have boosted the coin's market cap.
A purchase of $2.45 thousand by a whale for a market cap of $17.44 million was reported by @whalewatchalert, fueling speculation.
Another token, linked to Musk’s past recommendations, has drawn attention, although no direct causality has been confirmed, given that Bitcoin recently reached an all-time high.
This announcement follows the release of Grok by xAI, which faced controversy due to unmoderated reactions, including alleged anti-Semitism, as reported by Al Jazeera on July 10, 2025.
The choice of the name Ani reflects Elon Musk's literary influence model, with Stranger in a Strange Land also inspiring the name Grok.
Wikipedia notes that the term has evolved from Heinlein's work in computer culture, highlighting its relevance to AI development.
