• Elon Musk mentioned the meme coin Dogwifhat (WIF) during a livestream, seemingly endorsing it
• Dogwifhat’s price surged over 200% following Musk’s comments, defying the overall bearish crypto market trend
• The price rally and increased trading volume for WIF demonstrate Musk’s significant influence in the crypto space, particularly for meme coins

Elon Musk has given a shoutout to a relatively new meme coin named Dogwifhat (WIF) during a livestream shared on social media platform X. In the video, Musk is heard saying he knows the Solana-based meme coin, and the acknowledgement may just have thrown the crypto community into a frenzy, taking the WIF price to unexpected heights amid a broader market downturn.

Musk Effect in Action: Dogwifhat Soars While Market Stays Down

As some have pointed out from the clip, which is now going viral, Musk may not even be as familiar with Dogwifhat as he claims to be. He could be heard calling “DogWiFiHat” before correcting himself. However, the pronunciation error was not enough to stop the influence of his statement on his millions of followers, many of whom have historically interpreted his declarations as investment advice.

Musk’s past endorsements, particularly for Dogecoin (DOGE), have demonstrably led to major price surges, and dogwifhat may be the latest beneficiary of this “Musk Effect”.

For better perspective, dogwifhat was languishing in the bottom as its price movement reflected what was happening across the broader crypto market. However, following Musk’s declaration, WIF saw an immediate price rally, defying the overall bearish trend in the market.

Uncertain Future But Short-Term Gains for Dogwifhat

Without a doubt, this incident has further reinforced the fact that Musk wields an unparalleled influence in the crypto space. Besides, it is the first time that the billionaire is publicly acknowledging a meme coin other than Dogecoin (DOGE).

After the video surfaced, analysts have observed a significant spike in the trading volume of WIF. This surge suggests that new investors, likely to have been motivated by Musk’s perceived endorsement, are now dealing with the coin. Moreover, the meme coin sector is not new to volatility, often driven by social media hype and celebrity influence.

While the long-term prospects and origins of dogwifhat remain unclear, the immediate impact of Musk’s mention is undeniable. Price increases such as this have been seen in the past where Musk’s comments triggered rapid growth in other meme coins. However, history also shows that such rallies might be short-lived.

Conclusion

As of press time, the price of dogwifhat has climbed 205% to $2.70. Additionally, the market capitalization of WIF has skyrocketed to a staggering $26.92 billion. Trading volume for the meme coin has also jumped by 0.35%, reaching just over $3.72 million. Notably, this surge has helped the coin to erase some of its weekly decline.
