Floki crypto jumps 25% after Elon Musk tweet: Will it last?

In true meme coin fashion, Floki crypto saw a 25% pump this week, thanks to a familiar catalyst.

Summary
  • Elon Musk’s X post ignited renewed interest in the memecoin inspired by his dog’s name
  • Floki crypto surged 25% to a weekly high after Musk published the video
  • The memecoin reacted similarly to past instances of social media hype

Just when the memecoin markets started cooling off, Floki is once again riding the social media hype train On Monday, October 20, Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared an AI-generated video of representing his dog, Floki. The video, showing Floki in a suit at the X CEO desk, attracted a lot of attention. Now, traders are wondering whether this hype will last.

Shortly after Musk posted the video, Floki (FLOKI) rallied to a weekly high of $0.00008831 on an 800% surge in trading volume. This rally saw Floki recover some of its losses from October 10, when a major market crash pummeled the entire crypto market. Memecoins were among the most affected, with most yet to recover their earlier highs.

Will Floki Inu’s recovery last?

Althought Elon Musk has no direct involvement with Floki crypto, it is inspired by Elon Musk’s dog, a Shiba called Floki. For that reason, whenever Musk posts anything related to his dog, the memecoin goes up. However, as some users have remarked, this effect is slowing down, with Musk’s tweets having less impact than in the past.

What is more, there’s little indication that the rally will last. Currently, despite Floki’s ecosystem expansions, including the Valhalla NFT game, the FlokiFi DeFi platform, its price is still mostly hype-driven. Notably, the last few major rallies were largely fuelled by headlines, including the Robinhood listing on August 8.

Still, despite becoming available to millions of Robinhood users, the memecoin continued to trend downward. Without a strong growth in its DeFi ecosystem, or a greater memecoin rally, Floki seems unlikely to break its downward trend.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
