Elon Musk animates Bitcoin waifu after viral fan art request

Bitcoins

Elon Musk got the crypto community buzzing after turning a static Bitcoin-inspired anime illustration into a short animated clip.

The whole thing started early this morning when an X user asked Musk to animate an image of an anime girl wearing a Bitcoin-themed outfit, set against the iconic orange Bitcoin symbol.

The request was posted as a comment on one of Musk’s posts, which drew roughly 5,600 comments, and he later responded by posting a brief video showing the character in motion, transforming the artwork into an animated scene.

The clip, made by Grok, quickly gained traction, with users across the platform praising the unexpected interaction.

The user used the event to promote his meme coin called ANIME, sending its market capitalization as high as $3.4 million before it dropped back to around $2.2 million, per GeckoTerminal.

According to data tracked by Lookonchain, one “lucky” trader reaped huge rewards following Musk’s post.

About a year ago, the trader spent just 1.1 SOL to buy ANIME. Today, after Musk’s clip sent the token soaring, he sold all his ANIME stash for $19,500 in SOL, scoring a 211-fold gain.

Imagine this:

A year ago, you randomly spent 1 $SOL on a token and forgot about it.

Today, you open your wallet and see it’s suddenly up hundreds of times.

Trader EMhzdZ did exactly that.
