BlockBeats News, February 26, according to GMGN monitoring, under the influence of Musk’s tweet saying “Gork returns today,” the Solana ecosystem’s namesake meme coin gork experienced a short-term surge early this morning. Its market value soared from less than $1 million to $14 million at one point, then plummeted significantly, currently trading at around $6 million. The token’s price surged by 520% in 24 hours, with a trading volume of $20.9 million during the same period. As of now, the token has been online for about 301 days.
It is reported that this meme coin originated from an account on X platform imitating xAI Grok named “gork” (X: gork), which currently has 349,000 followers. In May 2025, the account gained popularity when Musk changed his X nickname to “Gorklon Rust” and used a Gork-themed avatar. The Solana on-chain namesake meme coin gork once surged to a market value of over $130 million. In addition, this account on X has not tweeted anything since November 18 last year until today.
BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, largely driven by market sentiment and conceptual hype, with no actual value or use case. Investors should be aware of the risks.
