The video, showing Floki in a suit at the X CEO desk, attracted a lot of attention. Now, traders are wondering whether this hype will last. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fl\u014dki is back on the job as \ud835\udd4f CEO! <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Zu29Dos24r\">pic.twitter.com\/Zu29Dos24r<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1980216257069945132?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">October 20, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Shortly after Musk posted the video, Floki (FLOKI) rallied to a weekly high of $0.00008831 on an 800% surge in trading volume. This rally saw Floki recover some of its losses from October 10, when a major market crash pummeled the entire crypto market. Memecoins were among the most affected, with most yet to recover their earlier highs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">FLOKI 1-month chart, October 2025 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Floki Inu\u2019s recovery last? <\/h2>\n<p>Althought Elon Musk has no direct involvement with Floki crypto, it is inspired by Elon Musk\u2019s dog, a Shiba called Floki. For that reason, whenever Musk posts anything related to his dog, the memecoin goes up. However, as some users have remarked, this effect is slowing down, with Musk\u2019s tweets having less impact than in the past. <\/p>\n<p>What is more, there\u2019s little indication that the rally will last. Currently, despite Floki\u2019s ecosystem expansions, including the Valhalla NFT game, the FlokiFi DeFi platform, its price is still mostly hype-driven. Notably, the last few major rallies were largely fuelled by headlines, including the Robinhood listing on August 8. <\/p>\n<p>Still, despite becoming available to millions of Robinhood users, the memecoin continued to trend downward. Without a strong growth in its DeFi ecosystem, or a greater memecoin rally, Floki seems unlikely to break its downward trend. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In true meme coin fashion, Floki crypto saw a 25% pump this week, thanks to a familiar catalyst.
