Elon Musk Becomes ‘Kekius Maximus’—Meme Coin Soars 120%

Elon Musk’s latest profile name change on X has sent ripple effects through the crypto market yet again. After swapping his profile to “Kekius Maximus” with a Roman‑style frog avatar, the meme‑inspired token tied to that name shot up by almost 120% in just 24 hours. Based on Binance data, traders saw KEKIUS climb from an average of 0.025 to 0.0502 overnight.

Musk Sparks Another Frog Coin Surge

According to reports, this isn’t the first time Musk’s social‑media tweaks have moved meme coins. Last December, he adopted the same name and a golden‑armored Pepe image. That move drove KEKIUS nearly 500% higher in a single day before prices tumbled back.

His followers treat each change like a buy signal. They pile in fast when they see a new profile name. Then many scramble to exit once the hype dies down.
