Recently, the owner of X, Elon Musk, changed his profile name to Kekius Maximus, causing a seismic shift in the world of cryptocurrency. A meme coin called kekius maximus (KEKIUS) exploded, surging 1500% in just one day.
The meme coin KEKIUS has surged since Musk made the bold move to rename his X account. Shortly thereafter, the value of KEKIUS skyrocketed.

Due to the surge on New Year's Eve, as of the time of writing, the market value of KEKIUS has climbed to $195 million, with a price of around $0.19.
There are 1 billion KEKIUS tokens in circulation. The coin is minted on Ethereum and is held by 12,788 addresses. MEXC is the largest holder, owning over 50 million KEKIUS. The top 100 holders collectively control 52.75%, which is over 520 million tokens.
The reason Musk decided to rename his X account to Kekius Maximus remains a mystery, sparking wild speculation. A writer from the shared (New York Post) (NYP) article attempted to interpret its meaning, and when Musk shared the article on X, he used a playful "Kek" in response. This peculiar action undoubtedly drew attention to KEKIUS, with a New York Times journalist even mentioning the coin in an article.
The KEKIUS website follows the typical meme coin aesthetic, with a logo inspired by the ancient Egyptian god Kek and the Roman gladiator theme from Maximus Decimus. Naturally, the symbol of Kek is the famous frog Pepe. The site is minimalist, encouraging users to create their own Kekius Maximus memes using Grok.
As the meme coin continues to develop, its future remains uncertain; where the meme market will go in 2025 is anyone's guess, we can only await the market's evolution.
