MUSKIT Memecoin Surges 200% Amid Speculation of Musk Family Backing

Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, is working on something that’s got the cryptocurrency market really buzzing.

It’s called Just Musk It (MUSKIT), and it’s a memecoin linked to none other than the Musk family. Reports suggest that Errol is in the process of raising $200 million through the digital currency, which will supposedly go toward the establishment of the Musk Institute, a for-profit think tank that will, in Errol’s words, “do what no one else is doing.”

This disclosure has sent a jolt of enthusiasm among investors and caused speculation to bubble over. The result has been an eye-popping 200% increase in the price of MUSKIT. The memecoin’s market cap has doubled to $35.4 million, and its price has reached $0.03432. Trading volume, meanwhile, has surged by an unbelievable 7,000%. That means there is now a strong market interest and, it seems, a much stronger confidence in MUSKIT’s price appreciation potential.

MUSKIT’s Meteoric Rise: Driven by Musk Family Ties

The crypto realm has been affected for quite some time by the Musk family, with Elon Musk’s tweets and public utterances almost always resulting in major price fluctuations for digital assets such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB). Now, it seems, that influence might be extending into the realm of governance tokens, with Errol Musk reportedly backing a new digital currency called MUSKIT.

It was recently reported by Cointelegraph that Errol Musk’s plan to raise $200 million through MUSKIT could partially fund the Musk Institute, which is expected to do advanced engineering and focus on technological breakthroughs of the sort that don’t happen every day. Many people who look at cryptocurrency connections for a living saw this and assumed we were just seeing a “funding the family business” story.

The sharp increase in price and huge trading volume show that the market is reacting very positively to the idea of the Musk family being involved in this prospect. Even though Elon Musk hasn’t said anything about the project, we think it’s quite possible that rumors or indirect involvement from him could really light a fire under MUSKIT’s price.

Memecoin Mania: How MUSKIT Is Defying Expectations

Traditionally, memecoins are seen as speculative assets that experience wild price swings based on hype and trends on social media. But MUSKIT seems to be staking out a different, possibly more sustainable, position by aligning itself with a tech-driven initiative instead of relying just on internet virality.

MUSKIT’s market cap has recently doubled in a very short time, and that shows how sentiment plays a big role in memecoin rallies. The token’s trading volume surged 7000% in that same short time, and both retail and institutional investors are starting to take notice. If this keeps up, MUSKIT could make its way into the holy grail of the best memecoins in the market.

The possible success of MUSKIT will likely rely on the Musk Institute taking shape as intended and on the use of funds raised through the memecoin. If the think tank somehow manages to pull off what it claims will be a series of “world-changing projects,” MUSKIT might evolve beyond being a speculative token and become something with real application—application, in this case, associated with one of blockchain’s many oft-discussed “use cases.”

What began as a joke turned into a major player in the crypto world. Dogecoin got to where it is largely because of Elon Musk’s high-profile, uh, support. Now that MUSKIT appears to be linked to Errol Musk, many are asking if it, too, will chart a course to the crypto stars.

Musk might have clearly been involved in Dogecoin’s rise, but it’s not at all evident what’s going on with MUSKIT. If Errol Musk is a real cheerleader for the project and is updating us on the progress of the Musk Institute, then you could surmise that translating Earth invaders into another medium could mean further adoption of and appreciation in value for the token. Follow-through on this point isn’t guaranteed, though. If all of this translates into a real slog for the Musk Institute with no further updates coming, the hype we’ve been discussing becomes rather meaningless.

Conclusion

The MUSKIT memecoin is ascendant; it’s as if it has been shot out of a cannon. The immediate reason for this is the frenzied speculation that it has actual, if indirect, support from the Musk family. Adding to this price surge is the equally ambitious, if currently vague, plans for the Musk Institute to put the money to actual use. With a price up 200%, market cap of $35.4 million, and trading volume up an incredible 7,000%, this token has everyone’s attention, at least for the moment.

The next phase of MUSKIT’s journey will depend closely on whether the Musk Institute comes into being and if the token’s recent burst of popularity can last. Will the next chapter of its story turn out to be a Dogecoin-like success? Or will it ruefully fizzle out and be into another short-lived memecoin? For now, though, the buzz around MUSKIT is nothing if not palpable.
