BlockBeats News, April 19th, Musk agrees to make Asteroid the SpaceX mascot. In response to this news, according to GMGN market data, the Ethereum-based Meme coin ASTEROID (scheduled to launch in September 2024) saw its market capitalization briefly surpass $160 million, currently standing at $116 million, with a 519% 24-hour price surge and a $77.40 million 24-hour trading volume.
BlockBeats previously reported that Liv Perrotto, a 15-year-old girl who passed away from cancer, had her biggest wish to meet Musk and had written a list of questions she wanted to ask. She had previously participated in designing a zero gravity indicator toy named “Asteroid” — an image of a Shiba Inu. Her mother later publicly wrote to Musk, hoping he would consider making Asteroid the official mascot of SpaceX in accordance with Liv Perrotto’s wish. Musk responded, saying that he would “reply soon.”
BlockBeats reminds users that Meme coin trading is highly volatile, mostly driven by market sentiment and hype, with no real value or use case. Investors should be aware of the risks.
