market-auction · 2026-04-26

The FLORK token, a memecoin inspired by the 'Flork of Cows' webcomic launched on Ethereum in 2023, surged from a market cap of tens of thousands to nearly $18 million in days after the crypto community linked its imagery to X's new 'Custom Timelines' feature announced on April 22, 2026. The token, with a total supply of approximately 1 trillion, has no product, utility, or official connection to the webcomic creator or X. The rally was triggered by visual similarity between Flork and the 'Memes' icon in X's feature video. Data from Dex Screener shows liquidity peaked over $300,000 with 24-hour trading volume exceeding $9 million, followed by a sharp correction of over 30% in one day. Lookonchain highlighted a wallet that bought 44.03 billion FLORK for 1.9 ETH ($3,941) in April 2023, valued at $352,000 at peak after 976 days of inactivity. Top 100 wallets hold 57.7% of supply, top 10 hold 19%. The event underscores how meme coin markets react to social narratives and attention on X, with no underlying utility.
