Elon Musk posted pictures of the male version of the Grok humanoid companion, named Valentine, on X. Earlier that same day, he also posted “Constructing Valentine,” and right after that, the Valentine meme coin jumped 20%, reaching a $9 million market cap.
This kind of instant reaction shows just how powerful Musk’s influence is on the market. Even other meme coins from the same series, like Ani and Rudi, saw a bounce — classic “Elon effect.”
But let’s be real: this also highlights how risky meme coin investing can be. At the same time, it hints that AI companions could be the next big trend in crypto.
With $ETH Ethereum gaining strength lately and stablecoin laws being rolled out, overall market sentiment is leaning toward greed. So, expect more ups and downs in the meme coin space in the short term. If you're trading in this sector, keep an eye on Musk's future posts and start looking into AI-related tokens.
