  • KEKIUS trading volume skyrocketed 285% to over $32 million, briefly placing the token back in the spotlight.

Elon Musk has once again stirred the crypto world, this time boosting the frog-themed memecoin Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS). The token, initially created when Musk changed his X profile name to “Kekius Maximus” last year, has now seen a sharp surge after the name change was reinstated. The connection between Musk’s profile updates and KEKIUS is undeniable, often sparking rapid price rallies.

A Sudden Surge

KEKIUS has seen a massive 119% increase within just 24 hours, pushing its price to $0.0502. This came after the token had been relatively stable around $0.25 for quite some time. Its trading volume also spiked by 285% to over $32 million, putting the memecoin back in the spotlight despite its prior low profile. However, the rally’s longevity is uncertain due to recent volatility.

Musk’s Influence on Crypto

Musk’s influence on the digital currency space is no surprise, especially with memecoins. His past profile changes and tweets have notably impacted Dogecoin‘s value. While Dogecoin remains his favorite, KEKIUS’s rise shows how his actions can also spotlight lesser-known tokens. Though political involvement has somewhat shifted Musk’s focus, his influence on the crypto market remains strong.

Memecoins on the Move

While Kekius Maximus enjoys a temporary spike, other memecoins are also showing signs of movement. Dogecoin’s supercycle might kick off soon, driven by positive performance metrics.

Kekius Maximus Price Chart

Shiba Inu is also gaining traction, with a slight rise despite mixed growth signals. The overall memecoin market cap has increased by over 1%, hinting at a broader resurgence in the sector.
