Elon Musk renaming X to Kekius Maximus: KEKIUS surges 1500%
Recently, the global tech and cryptocurrency communities have once again focused on Elon Musk. Musk changed the name of his X account to Kekius Maximus, a move that not only caught people’s attention but also unexpectedly triggered violent fluctuations in the crypto market. KEKIUS, a coin based on meme culture, skyrocketed by 1500% within just 24 hours, becoming the center of attention in the market.
KEKIUS, a meme coin inspired by Kek, quickly sparked strong reactions in the market following Musk's renaming to Kekius Maximus. **The price of KEKIUS soared 1500% in just one day, climbing from the previous $0.01 to $0.16 per coin. Even more shocking is that over the past two weeks, KEKIUS's increase reached an astonishing 20889%**, which is a rare surge for any cryptocurrency.
Currently, KEKIUS's market capitalization has exceeded $195 million and continues to rise steadily at a price of $0.19. With its strong market performance, many investors have flocked to the market for this coin.
Why Musk changed his account name to “Kekius Maximus” remains unclear. His action has sparked widespread speculation in the crypto community.
According to the New York Post, Musk shared an article on his X account attempting to interpret the meaning of this name, to which Musk responded with an amusing “Kek” emoji. “Kek,” as a representative symbol of meme culture, is closely related to the internet meme Pepe the Frog, further adding to the mystery of this action.
Although the surge of KEKIUS is astonishing, it has also led to deep reflections on the future direction of the meme coin market. As more and more meme coins enter the market, whether investors can accurately identify potential coins has become an important issue.
In 2025, whether the meme coin market will continue to flourish remains an unresolved question. Although meme coins can bring short-term wealth effects, their lack of technical support and practical applications leads to extremely volatile prices. In the future, whether meme coins can continue to thrive will depend on community support, market heat, and developers' innovation.
