On Jan. 1, the Ethereum-based meme coin Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS) experienced a market surge, reaching a peak market capitalization of $380 million.
This sudden spike followed Elon Musk’s brief name change on the social media platform X, where he adopted the moniker “Kekius Maximus,” a nod to the Pepe the Frog meme and the character Maximus from the film Gladiator.
A trader capitalizing on this volatility turned an initial investment of $66 in Ether into profits nearing $3 million over 18 days.
On Dec. 14, the trader purchased 10.17 million KEKIUS tokens and later sold 2.81 million for 60.3 Ether on Jan. 1, achieving a paper gain of approximately 45,900x their original investment, according to blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain.
The KEKIUS token was created on Dec. 13, with its market cap climbing from $11.4 million on Dec. 31 to $380 million at its peak.
Following Musk's name change back to his original profile, the market cap has since declined to around $100.5 million, but over 23,600 investors continue to hold the ERC-20 tokens.
Musk's involvement with the meme coin was amplified by his posts featuring AI-generated images of a Pepe-inspired character in a battle setting within Rome’s Colosseum, attracting substantial engagement, including 48.2 million views on one post.

Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind Tesla, SpaceX, and the social platform X (formerly Twitter), has made another bold claim: X Payments will eliminate the need for traditional bank accounts by the end of 2024. This ambitious statement reflects Musk’s ongoing commitment to revolutionizing industries and empowering individuals through technology.
A Vision for Financial Independence
According to Musk, the goal of X Payments is to create a seamless, all-in-one financial platform that integrates digital transactions, savings, and investment opportunities. “Imagine a world where you don’t need to rely on outdated banking systems,” Musk said during a recent interview. “X Payments will handle everything—payments, transfers, even your savings—right from your smartphone.”
How X Payments Works
The X Payments system is designed to function as a fully digital wallet, enabling users to:
• Send and Receive Money: Instant peer-to-peer transfers, even across borders.
• Make Purchases: Pay for goods and services online or in-person with ease.
• Store Funds Securely: Use X Payments as your primary savings account, with advanced security protocols.
• Invest in Crypto and Stocks: Integrated options to grow your wealth directly from the app.
This all-in-one functionality is Musk’s response to the fragmented financial systems currently in place, which often involve multiple accounts, platforms, and fees.
Challenges Ahead
While Musk’s vision is undoubtedly groundbreaking, it raises some key questions.
• Regulatory Approval: Implementing such a system globally will require navigating diverse financial regulations in different countries.
• User Trust: Traditional banks have decades of trust backing them. Will users feel comfortable storing their entire financial portfolio on X?
• Technical Scalability: Ensuring the platform can handle millions of users without compromising security or efficiency is critical.
What It Means for Banks
If Musk’s predictions come true, the banking industry could face a seismic shift. Traditional banks, long seen as the cornerstone of financial stability, may#MuskXPayments #Musk's
