Decentralized Exchange (DEX) markets have experienced a significant upheaval this week, largely driven by tech guru Elon Musk.
After Elon’s Twitter rebranding to ‘X’, a number of new meme coins have launched with the X token rallying up 4,300% overnight.
Musk’s moon-shot move has once again disrupted the market, nudging cryptocurrency valuations to their zenith.
Yet, as Musk busied himself with revising Twitter’s online aesthetic, creators of the rapid-launch ‘X’ meme token remained undeterred.
In the dead of night at 4 am, the ‘X’ token was unleashed onto crypto markets, triggering an extraordinary initial trading frenzy.
The Day of the X Meme Token: A Stratospheric Debut
The nascent stages of the X token’s launch were met with modest growth, soaring a mere +500%.
However, as news about Musk’s latest venture swept across the globe over the weekend, a tidal wave of trading activity catapulted the token’s value into uncharted territory.
By the sixth hour of trading, early adopters sat atop a staggering +3,400% gain as trading volumes exceeded $1.34m, pushing the token’s peak value to $0.58.
This represented a mind-boggling +4,300% surge from its original listing price of $0.0135.
However, this exorbitant leap was not destined to last, despite recording an impressive 8.92k transactions and amassing more than a thousand holders in a day, the token’s value plunged by -78%.
Still, crypto enthusiasts are already scouting the next potential goldmine.
