Elon Musk Responds to SpaceX Official Mascot Request, Meme Coin ASTEROID Skyrockets Over $10 Million
BlockBeats News, April 17th, according to GMGN monitoring, the narrative of the Meme coin ASTEROID originated from a 15-year-old girl, Liv Perrotto. Her biggest wish during her lifetime was to meet Musk and she was involved in designing a zero-gravity indicator plushie in the shape of a Shiba Inu named "Asteroid." After the girl passed away, her mother publicly wrote to Musk, hoping to designate Asteroid as SpaceX's official mascot.
Today, prominent media figure Glenn Beck revisited this story on his show, triggering widespread circulation. Musk later responded, saying, "Will reply shortly."
Stimulated by this news, several on-chain Meme coins with the same name experienced a significant surge:
Ethereum chain (first launched in September 2024): Market cap surpassed $10 million, currently at $9.9 million, with a trading volume of $7.1 million. The coin's previous all-time high was around $4 million; today it set a new record, representing the earliest Asteroid community.
Solana chain (launched today): It opened with a sharp increase, reaching a peak of $10 million, currently at $7.6 million, with a trading volume exceeding $18.5 million, making it the highest volume among today's coins with the same name.
BSC chain (launched today): Market cap currently around $300,000, peaked at $500,000, with a trading volume of $1.9 million.
BlockBeats reminds users that Meme coin trading is highly volatile, mostly driven by market sentiment and speculative trends, without actual value or use case. Investors should be aware of the risks.
