VINE price surges 86% as elon musk “ai vine” hype returns

Vine Coin (VINE) has surged 86% on renewed “AI Vine” speculation tied to Elon Musk, with volume spiking and the meme coin still trading in overbought territory.

Vine Coin’s (VINE) price has roared back into focus after a fresh wave of speculation that Elon Musk could revive the Vine short‑form video app in an “AI form” on the X platform, lifting the meme coin roughly 86% over the last 24 hours. CoinGecko lists VINE around $0.0153 today, while CoinMarketCap has it near $0.01498 with a 24‑hour trading volume of about $2.27M and a market cap close to $14.98M, though community trackers on X cite intraday volume spikes up toward $748M on certain venues, making it one of the largest relative volume events of the day versus its size. CoinCodex price‑prediction data pegs VINE’s current level near $0.0149 and flags the market as highly volatile, with the token still categorized as a speculative play.

The renewed frenzy has its roots in last year’s Musk‑driven episode. In July 2025, a tweet from Musk hinting he would “revive Vine with AI‑powered features” helped send VINE up roughly 350% over five days, with a Binance Square analysis recording the token at $0.145 on July 28, 2025, alongside a 24‑hour trading volume of $740M and a $145M market cap. BeInCrypto reported at the time that VINE had surged more than 60% in a single session off the same hint, describing how “Musk’s social media activity had another unintended boost, as VINE shot up more than 60% after a related post.” Derivatives data circulated on X during that run pointed to about $9.4M in short liquidations as bears were squeezed out of the trade.

VINE sits firmly in the meme‑coin and speculative AI‑narrative bucket rather than as a traditional DeFi, RWA or L1 token. BeInCrypto notes that the token was launched by Rus Yusupov, the founder of the original Vine platform, and that nostalgia for Vine’s 2010s cultural footprint has been a key part of the story. An OKX explainer on Musk’s impact describes how his July 2025 comments helped push Vine Coin’s market cap from about $42M to $86.7M, framing it as a textbook case of social‑media‑driven price action in the meme‑coin sector. There is still no confirmed integration between any future AI‑enabled video product from xAI or X and the VINE token itself, a gap both Binance and OKX have highlighted in prior risk sections.

CoinCodex’s current VINE dashboard underlines the speculative nature of the latest move: while the site lists a spot price around $0.01493 and notes a potential short‑term downside target near $0.01151, it flags high volatility and warns that the asset sits in a “bearish” sentiment band despite recent gains. Earlier technical work from Mudrex in January 2025, when VINE traded near $0.29, pointed to an RSI around 70 as “nearing overbought territory,” a level that traders on X say has been revisited in today’s rally as momentum overheats again.

Zooming out, VINE’s latest spike follows a pattern seen in other Elon‑linked tokens: sharp moves tied to a handful of social posts, extreme volume relative to market cap, and quick reversals once attention moves on. OKX’s breakdown of Musk’s influence notes that his remarks can “send shockwaves through the meme coin sector,” but also stresses that many of these tokens remain down more than 80% from past highs. CryptoRank data show VINE reached an all‑time high near $0.4675 in May 2025 and now trades more than 95% below that peak, even after the current bounce.

For traders, the key metrics to watch from here will be whether the elevated volume—community figures put it close to $748M across venues in the past day—persists, and whether large wallets begin off‑loading into retail FOMO or continue to accumulate. With no confirmed product link between an “AI Vine” and the token, the latest 86% jump looks less like a repricing of fundamentals and more like a renewed bet that Musk’s next move on X can squeeze one more rally out of the meme‑coin nostalgia trade.
