Following the latest crypto reports, Mog Coin has seen a 50%+ price surge driven by high-profile tech figures, Elon Musk included who have joined the viral “mog/acc” meme on X (formerly Twitter). As of this week, the Ethereum and Base network meme token has risen 51% according to CoinGecko, with momentum building from an unlikely alliance of crypto fans and Silicon Valley insiders.

Tech Influencers Spark Mog Coin Rally

The surge began when Elon Musk quietly updated his X profile image to include Pit Viper sunglasses, now synonymous with Mog Coin branding. Shortly after, Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan tweeted he will “always be mogging,” which many interpreted as an endorsement of the project. Biohacker Bryan Johnson, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, and BasedBeffJezos (Guillaume Verdon, founder of effective accelerationism) also joined the wave by editing their profile pictures to feature Pit Vipers, thus the “mog/acc” movement.

Crypto insiders believe this support has helped Mog Coin go from niche meme token to cultural symbol among pro-tech thinkers.

“This wasn’t orchestrated,” Mog creative director Mike Three told Sources. “Everything happened in public, on the timeline. That’s what makes MOG different.”

Mog Coin Surge Fueled by Elon Musk and Tech Influencer Hype

The History of Mog and Its Cat Mascot

Launched in 2023 by pseudonymous founder “Aug,” Mog Coin started as a joke within Milady NFT community circles. The term “mog” comes from 4Chan lingo, meaning to outclass someone, often physically or socially. The coin rebranded the meaning into “effortless cosmic domination,” capturing the spirit of maximal confidence. At the heart of the brand is Joycat, a laughing cat wearing Pit Vipers, representing the meme’s self-aware absurdity.

Pit Viper initially overlooked Mog Coin but has now jumped on the bandwagon. After hundreds of profile picture edits featuring their sunglasses, the company posted on X:

“Adding Pit Vipers to your [profile picture] is cool, but how about adding some to your cart?”

They later tweeted a 10% discount with the code “MOG69” and changed their bio to “horney moggles,” a nod to an earlier prank the MOG community pulled on them.

Pit Viper CEO’s Token Shenanigans

Chris Garcin, CEO of Pit Viper, has also joined the mog/acc movement, though not without drama. He reportedly teased a spin-off token called Pitcoin (PITCOIN) on Solana via Pump.fun, and the coin shot up to a $6.7 million market cap before crashing to under $1 million in 48 hours.

Garcin said he had no official connection to the token and tweeted on X he “threw $50 in for fun.” But others in the crypto space are scratching their heads over the whole situation.

Mike Three said:

“This is both a bull case for MOG in contrast and a perfect example of how confusing, overwhelming and toxic crypto participants can be. This is supposed to be fun but from the outside it’s a literal nightmare.”

Mog Coin’s Market Position and Social Momentum

According to CoinGecko, Mog Coin’s trading volume has increased by over 200% in the past weeks, bringing the token’s market cap to over $400m.

The coin is still traded on Ethereum and Base, with liquidity pools expanding across multiple DEXs. Analysts warn that while Mog Coin is having a moment of viral fame, it’s highly speculative, especially since it’s a meme coin.

Looking Ahead: Trend or Turning Point?

Not sure if Mog Coin’s viral status will translate to long-term relevance or if it will follow the boom-bust cycle of meme coins. But one thing is for sure: in an attention economy, memes matter and Mog’s unorthodox mix of irony, tech culture and decentralized community coordination has hit.

Whether mog/acc becomes the next big internet movement or fades into another passing meme, Mog Coin’s current trajectory shows how fast online influence can turn into real market impact.
