Its price has spiked by 25% on a daily scale, reaching a ten-day high. Despite the surge, the dog-themed meme coin remains outside crypto&#8217;s top 100 club, currently positioned as the 130th-biggest digital asset with a market capitalization of around $800 million.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1416967\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1416967\" style=\"width: 841px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FLOKI-Price.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1416967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FLOKI Price, Source: CoinGecko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time FLOKI has rallied after a Musk Joke.

To add a twist of humor to the endeavor, he described his dog Floki as &#8220;great with numbers&#8221; and placed him on the executive&#8217;s chair.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the meme coin&#8217;s valuation <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/floki-soars-over-40-after-an-elon-musk-joke\/\">soared<\/a> by double digits in a matter of minutes after the tweet.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/elon-musks-tweet-triggered-a-25-price-surge-for-viral-meme-coin-floki-details\/\">Elon Musk&#8217;s Tweet Triggered a 25% Price Surge for Viral Meme Coin FLOKI: Details<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/elon-musks-tweet-triggered-a-25-price-surge-for-viral-meme-coin-floki-details\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The world&#8217;s wealthiest man &#8211; Elon Musk &#8211; is among the most influential in the crypto space, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37028,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37027\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/37028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
