Elon Musk Posts Grok‑Made Bitcoin Anime as ANIME Token Spikes Then Fades

The viral clip shows how a celebrity post using generative tools can lift a niche coin without budging Bitcoin.

Overview

  • Elon Musk, who shared the AI‑animated clip on X Monday, used the platform’s Grok tool to bring back a 2018 Bitcoin‑themed character from Japan’s CryptoCurrencyGirls site.
  • The post answered a prompt from X user @TxCryptoSaurus and drew fast engagement across the platform.
  • ANIME, a small meme token promoted by the requester, jumped to about $3.4 million in market value before easing to roughly $2.2 million, according to GeckoTerminal.
  • Lookonchain reported that one holder who bought ANIME for 1.1 SOL about a year ago sold after the spike for roughly $19,500 in SOL.
  • CoinCentral noted no clear change in Bitcoin’s price around the post, which it observed trading near $67,540 with a modest daily gain.
