Elon Musk caused FLOKI to rally after posting a new video on social media. Demonstrating Grok’s video generation capabilities, Musk employed Floki as an unofficial mascot.

Although FLOKI recently rallied after a European ETP listing, the Black Friday crash erased all these gains. The 30% growth after Elon’s post has done a lot to help the token rebound.

Elon Causes FLOKI Rally

Elon Musk has had an explosive impact on the meme coin sector, with his business decisions and social media posts alike spurring huge token movements.

Today has been no different, as Elon posted a new video starring Floki the mascot, causing the related asset to rise dramatically:

Flōki is back on the job as 𝕏 CEO!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk)

Specifically, Elon posted this Floki video to demonstrate Grok’s AI-generated video capabilities. He has also caused meme coin rallies by teasing these features in development, but it looks like X won’t be splitting Grok videos into a separate app for the moment.

Chaotic Price Fluctuations

In any event, Elon’s post was a huge boon for FLOKI, the meme coin. The token crashed hard after crypto’s Black Friday earlier this month, and it has been stagnant until today.

With this new post, however, FLOKI rallied around 30%, recovering much of the lost gains from the crash:

In other words, if Elon Musk keeps demonstrating interest in Floki like this, it could cause a wider recovery. Earlier this month, a FLOKI ETP launched in Europe, providing a big boost to the token. The Black Friday crash erased all these gains, however, and Elon seems like the best prospect to reverse it.

Of course, Elon’s social media posts might not be a reliable boost for FLOKI in the long run. It’s impossible to predict which token he’ll fixate on; although CZ shows persistent support for several projects, Musk’s endorsements are often momentary.

Whatever happens next, this has been a big boost for FLOKI. Hopefully, the project will continue capitalizing on its moment in the spotlight.

1. Crypto outperformed traditional equity indexes following the rate hike, but elevated interest rates remain a key constraint on cross-asset allocation. From September 12 to 18, BTC, ETH, and SOL gained 4.83%, 3.84%, and 9.96%, respectively, while the S&P 500 edged down 0.08%. The U.S. Dollar Index rose 1.11%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at approximately 4.998%. Improving risk appetite is therefore coexisting with elevated discount rates, raising the bar for RWA allocation: investors need to compare not only returns on the underlying assets, but also on-chain liquidity and collateral efficiency. 2. Growth in tokenized equities is occurring even as the overall RWA market remains under pressure. As of September 18, Distributed Asset Value across RWAs stood at $38.503 billion, down 1.13% week over week, while tokenized equities reached $3.056 billion, up 6.03%. This week's data are better explained by capital reallocating across different RWA segments than by a broad-based expansion of the entire RWA market. 3. For exchanges, the opportunity lies in connecting spot holdings, collateral, and derivatives. Reality's distributed asset value stands at approximately $155 million, while eligible rTokens can already be used within Bitget's UTA margin framework. Across CoinGlass's verifiable sample of 177 TradFi instruments, open interest reached approximately $11.498 billion, up 2.06% week over week, even as weekly trading volume declined 7.60%. The medium-term opportunity remains intact, but deeper utilization will depend on liquidity, collateral use, and sustained trading activity. 4.Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, ZEC, gold, tokenized U.S. equities, COST. 5.Key metrics to watch: rToken collateral utilization, the durability of TradFi open interest and trading volume, and next week's employment and consumer data.
