According to GMGN data, on February 26, the Solana-based meme coin gork surged over 520% following Elon Musk's tweet saying 'Gork returns today.' Its market cap briefly jumped from under $1 million to $14 million, later pulling back to around $6 million. Over the past 24 hours, trading volume reached $20.9 million, showing significant market activity.
Origin and Popularity
The coin originated from the X account 'gork,' a parody of xAI Grok with 349,000 followers. Back in May 2025, when Musk changed his X username to 'Gorklon Rust' and used a Gork-themed profile picture, the meme coin's market cap spiked to over $130 million.
Notably, the 'gork' account has remained silent since November 18, 2025, yet its influence persists, once again capturing market attention.
Risk Alert
Although gork has shown strong market momentum, its price is largely driven by hype and speculation, with no fundamental value to support it. Investors are advised to remain cautious and approach such volatile assets with care.
