Floki’s marketing director, Sabre, remained tight-lipped about the specifics, but promised the upcoming effort would dwarf anything they’ve done in the past two years.
This news, coupled with the announcement of Floki futures trading on Coinbase coming May 30th, fueled a 24-hour price surge of 22%, propelling Floki to the top of the memecoin heap.

This is basically Floki strapping on its jetpack and aiming for the moon. The marketing blitz shows they’re serious about taking over the memecoin space, and Coinbase listing futures is like getting a thumbs-up from the crypto trailblazers themselves.
According to Sabre, the upcoming marketing push will help Floki in “dominating” the memecoin field and achieving its objective of becoming the “most widely utilized cryptocurrency in the world.”
Floki isn’t the only dog chasing its tail in the memecoin race. Coinbase is also adding rival memecoins Shiba Inu and Bonk to its futures roster. But with Floki leading the pack in price gains, it seems to have stolen the early show.
The price rally marks a significant turnaround for the coin. After bottoming out in April, the token has been on a steady climb, but Monday’s announcement ignited a breakout, pushing prices to an 11-week high. This represents a staggering 160% increase since mid-April.
However, analysts caution that Floki’s victory lap might be premature. The memecoin market is notoriously fickle, and external factors like economic headwinds and the ever-present threat of dogecoin dominance could throw Floki a curveball. Additionally, the success of Floki’s marketing campaign remains a mystery.
Floki: Market Performance
The memecoin’s most recent major marketing campaign targeted visitors in New York’s Times Square, where the brand was emblazoned on screens near the Nasdaq billboard for two months, starting on March 15.
Today, the price of FLOKI is $0.00027, with a 24-hour trading volume of $1,025,844,340.44. This marks a 27.82% increase over the past week. With a circulating supply of nearly 10 trillion, the market cap stands at $2.6 billion.
