Finally, it's a day without AI Meme dominating the charts.

This morning on the Solana chain was still a day of AI Meme celebration. Around 2 PM, Musk changed his Twitter profile picture to a meme image resembling a Pepe frog, and directly changed his name to Kekius Maximus. Notably, this is Musk's first change of his Twitter name.

Yes, it's this thing.

Moreover, recently Musk has been frequently tweeting about Pepe-related concepts, and this major move of changing his name and profile picture has directly caused the Meme market to boil. Besides the already listed $Pepe rising sharply, the PumpFun Meme on the Solana chain is also in chaos, making the entire Jinxi Northwest a mess.

GMGN.AI data shows that the popularity of Kekius Maximus concept Meme has dominated the Meme market within an hour.

Is Musk playing the internet fusion meme again?

Musk's first mention of the term Kekius Maximus on Twitter was in interaction with a frog image posted by another account, and clearly, this somewhat textured frog was referred to as Kekius Maximus at that time. A few days later, Musk mentioned again on Twitter that he would name a new character in his favorite game (Path of Exile) expert mode as Kekius Maximus.

Today, Musk's new tweet also referenced the game name issue:

Speculation on the origin of 'Kekius'

According to netizens, the name Kekius Maximus should also have some relation to the Pepe Meme culture.

The prefix 'Kekius' may originate from the internet meme term 'Kek'. It originally came from the game World of Warcraft, where players on the Horde side would type 'LOL', and players on the Alliance side would see it translated as 'KEK'. This simple gaming term subsequently spread widely in the gaming community, initially representing laughter like 'LOL'.

With the development of internet culture, this term has derived new meanings on platforms like 4chan and Reddit. Users have discovered that in ancient Egyptian mythology, there is a deity named 'Kek', depicted as a frog-headed human during the Greco-Roman period, and was seen as a symbol of chaos and darkness. This coincidence gives this internet term a deeper cultural significance.

However, due to the mixed nature of the online environment, the term 'Kek' has often been used in a political metaphor online, especially prevalent during the 2016 US election. This will not be elaborated here; interested readers can refer to Wiki or Meme Encyclopedia for detailed introductions to this term's origin.

Kek and Frog Meme

Back to the Meme, it was mentioned earlier that there is a deity in ancient Egypt with a frog head named 'Kek'. Combined with the popular Pepe frog image in recent years, it is natural that there are many associations between Pepe and Kek online, often used in Pepe remixes.

Also, according to Twitter user @neso, as early as April 2023, when $pepe was issued, it was stated on the official website, 'In Lord Kek we trust.', at that time the $pepe project also played with the Kek meme.

And the name 'Kekius Maximus' that Musk changed to this time may be a blend based on the etymology of 'Kek'. By combining 'Kek' with the Latin suffix '-ius' and 'Maximus' (meaning 'the greatest'), it creates a unique combination of gaming culture, internet slang, and classical language.

Looking at it this way, Musk is indeed a high-intensity internet surfer.

Which tokens are currently being speculated on?

So much has been said? Which related concept tokens are currently being speculated on? Urgently.

Due to the rapid emergence of the Kekius Maximus concept, the Memes are currently in a relatively PVP state, with scams and rug pulls rampant. From my personal (loss) experience, only two tokens with a longer creation time and community operation are maintaining a relatively healthy state.

Note: The prices of Meme tokens are highly volatile and carry significant risks. Investors should fully assess these risks and participate cautiously. This article is just a sharing of information based on market trends, and the author and platform do not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of the article's content, nor does it provide any investment advice.

$KM (Kekius Maximus) - Solana

Contract Address:

HuAncxDEsakCDgZS2Yfo9xJbHmtHXMnxxkT9jqdXnHhm

  • Creation Date: December 10, 2024 (21 days ago)

  • Current Market Value: $40 million

  • 24H Trading Volume: $108 million

This token was created on the same day Musk first mentioned the concept of Kekius Maximus and surged to a market value of around $2 million during Musk's second mention. The price then dropped sharply, but the community account @kekius_onsol has remained active, until today it caught the trend and became the hottest Solana token in the entire concept. (It's impressive how lucky the community is.)

$KEKIUS (Kekius Maximus) - ETH Mainnet

Contract Address:

0x26e550ac11b26f78a04489d5f20f24e3559f7dd9

  • Creation Date: December 14, 2024 (17 days ago)

  • Current Market Value: $76 million

  • 24H Trading Volume: $45 million

In terms of timing, the $KEKIUS on the ETH mainnet should have been created after Musk mentioned the term Kekius Maximus for the second time on Twitter, during which the token's volatility was relatively large, and the trading volume was lower compared to the Solana chain. However, the community account @KekiusMaxi has remained active, and today the coin price peaked at about 10 times.

Summary

This 'makeover' might be because Musk really likes this new image, or it could be a well-known 'public scheme', or perhaps it's just something Musk did casually.

However, as market participants, when facing such immediate and random trends, it is essential to discern risks and protect asset safety, which should be the most important participation principle. After all, trends emerge every day, and the best opportunities might be just around the corner.

Protect your principal, don't get overly excited, DYOR.
