Once again, Elon Musk has left a mark on the cryptocurrency world, this time with his influence driving a dramatic price surge in meme coins. Following a tweet referencing PEPE Apu Apustaja, Musk inadvertently propelled CumRocket (CUMMIES) to its highest price in six months, only for the rally to collapse hours later.
CumRocket Hits a Six-Month High
Elon Musk, known for his open-book approach and unfiltered Twitter activity, has repeatedly impacted the prices of niche cryptocurrencies. In his latest stunt, a joke tweet featuring a PEPE-themed meme sent CumRocket (CUMMIES) soaring by 400%. The token’s price hit $0.0225 before retreating to $0.009959, still reflecting a 24-hour gain of 136%.
At its peak, CumRocket’s market cap reached $15.29 million with a 24-hour trading volume of $9.88 million. Despite the drop, this episode highlights the unpredictable influence of Musk’s interactions with the crypto space.
Not Musk’s First Meme Coin Influence
This isn’t Elon Musk’s first interaction with CumRocket. In June 2021, during the token’s peak popularity, Musk’s tweet sparked a 400% surge within just 10 minutes. His recent tweet adds to his history of driving wild market fluctuations with minimal effort.
KEKIUS: Another Musk-Fueled Rally
Just days before his CumRocket tweet, Musk ignited a 1,200% surge in Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS) by updating his X profile with the token’s name and image. The rally lasted two days before his profile change triggered a sell-off, leading to significant losses for late investors. One trader reportedly gained 17,000% returns in 60 minutes, while another lost $1 million within 12 hours.
Risks of Musk-Driven Hype
While Musk’s influence often creates lucrative opportunities, it also amplifies volatility and risk. Investors chasing FOMO during such events frequently face significant losses when the hype fades. The Bit Journal emphasizes the importance of cautious and informed trading, especially in markets driven by sudden and unpredictable celebrity endorsements.
Musk’s ongoing interactions with cryptocurrencies continue to underscore the speculative nature of the market. While some reap massive rewards, others bear the brunt of rapid sell-offs and price corrections.
