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.

UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT

UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT

The post UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has plans to waive some of its rules for cryptocurrency companies, according to a Financial Times (FT) report on Wednesday. However, in another areas the FCA intends to tighten the rules where they pertain to industry-specific risks, such as cyber attacks. The financial watchdog wishes to adapt its existing rules for financial service companies to the unique nature of cryptoassets, the FT reported, citing a consultation paper published Wednesday. “You have to recognize that some of these things are very different,” David Geale, the FCA’s executive director for payments and digital finance, said in an interview, according to the report, adding that a “lift and drop” of existing traditional finance rules would not be effective with crypto. One such area that may be handled differently is the stipulation that a firm “must conduct its business with integrity” and “pay due regard to the interest of its customers and treat them fairly.” Crypto companies would be given less strict requirements than banks or investment platforms on rules concerning senior managers, systems and controls, as cryptocurrency firms “do not typically pose the same level of systemic risk,” the FCA said. Firms would also not have to offer customers a cooling off period due to the voltatile nature of crypto prices, nor would technology be classed as an outsourcing arrangement requiring extra risk management. This is because blockchain technology is often permissionless, meaning anyone can participate without the input of an intermediary. Other areas of crypto regulation remain undecided. The FCA has plans to fully integrate cryptocurrency into its regulatory framework from 2026.
