Elon Musk Sends Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS) Up 88%—W or Pump & Dump?
Another day, another Elon Musk-fueled meme coin rally. This time, KEKIUS, an Ethereum-based meme token, skyrocketed 88% in a single day, with trading volume exploding 197% to hit $24.01M.
🐸 KEKIUS & PEPE Pop Off
It wasn’t just the token feeling the Musk effect—Pepe (PEPE) also saw a 7% pump, standing out from the otherwise bleeding memes on market.
The reason? His latest X post. He dropped a framed photo of “Kekius Maximus,” a mashup of Pepe the Frog and Maximus from Gladiator, sitting next to a DOGE plaque and a MAGA cap on his desk.
🚀 Instant pump. Millions traded. Twitter in chaos.
📉 Musk’s Meme Coin Magic—But for How Long?
This isn’t his first meme coin market manipulation moment. Back in December 2024, he temporarily changed his X name to the platform itself, sending the token soaring—only for it to crash back down when he switched it back.
Now, it is sitting at $0.0287, still up 83% in 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. But with coins on memes, it’s all vibes and volatility—so is this just another temporary hype cycle?
🎭 Meme Coins = High Risk, High Reward
These coins live and die by the trends, and no one moves markets like him (you know who) . Whether the token keeps flying or dumps back to zero depends on social media, sentiment, and more Musk tweets.
So, are you riding the wave, or sitting this one out?
