Elon Musk’s Tweet Triggered a 25% Price Surge for Viral Meme Coin FLOKI: Details

The world’s wealthiest man – Elon Musk – is among the most influential in the crypto space, and his interactions often cause major price fluctuations for the involved assets.

Just recently, he posted an AI-generated video on X that depicts his pet (named Floki) as the CEO of the social media platform. Specifically, the clip features a dog in a tie and glasses, seated at a desk and covered with documents.


Somewhat expectedly, the meme coin Floki (FLOKI) soared immediately after the tweet. Its price has spiked by 25% on a daily scale, reaching a ten-day high. Despite the surge, the dog-themed meme coin remains outside crypto’s top 100 club, currently positioned as the 130th-biggest digital asset with a market capitalization of around $800 million.

This isn’t the first time FLOKI has rallied after a Musk Joke. Around Christmas time in 2021, Tesla’s CEO posted a photo on X of his dog wearing a Santa Claus outfit with a message, “Floki Santa.” The interaction caused a mindblowing surge of almost 20,000% for the meme coin’s price in the next 48 hours.

In February 2023, Musk was looking for a new CEO to take over X (formerly Twitter). To add a twist of humor to the endeavor, he described his dog Floki as “great with numbers” and placed him on the executive’s chair.

Needless to say, the meme coin’s valuation soared by double digits in a matter of minutes after the tweet.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
