Elon Musk just named his Grok AI companion—and crypto traders are betting $VALENTINE might be the dark horse altcoin to watch. Here's why this microcap token's getting sudden heat.

The Musk Effect Strikes Again

When the world's richest meme lord whispers a coin's name, markets convulse. This time it's not DOGE or SHIB—it's a low-float token that surged 300% after Grok's Valentine's Day tweet. Classic crypto: solve zero problems, print green candles.

Small Cap, Big Speculation

With a $12M market cap and CEX listings rumored, $VALENTINE's liquidity pool looks thinner than a Web3 startup's runway. Perfect conditions for that sweet, unsustainable pump-and-dream scenario.

Grok's Crypto Crush

Musk's AI chatbot now flirts with crypto analytics—because nothing says 'sound investment' like a language model's dopamine-driven stock picks. Next up: GPT-5 shilling vaporware ICOs.

Will this be 2025's meme coin moonshot or another proof-of-bagholder tragedy? Place your bets—the casino's open 24/7.

Is $VALENTINE the Next Small Cap Gem As Elon Musk Names Grok Companion?

The Grok app has been branching out in recent weeks, expanding its features to include AI companions for users.

The first of these were a blonde anime girl and a red panda (who apparently offers a ā€˜bad’ mode), but now Elon Musk has revealed that a male companion – styled after Edward from the Twilight series of books/films – is coming.

His name will be Valentine, after the protagonist in Stranger in a Strange Land, the Heinlein book where our AI name ā€œGrokā€ was created.

And yes, his name will be Valentine, a fact which caused the price of $VALENTINE (also known as Valentine Grok Companion) to skyrocket.

As we see from the chart below, $VALENTINE had apparently listed on Raydium yesterday, before Musk announced the name.

It basically flatlined for the entire day, and did not surge until 8:15am (UTC +1), when Musk posted the tweet above.

And despite dipping just after 9:00am, its price has held up fairly well, having consolidated at around the $0.0175 level.

Of course, it’s an open question as to whether it will sustain its performance, given that it’s piggybacking unofficially on Elon Musk.

It has been part of just over 100,000 transaction so far since launching, while its volume over the past 24 hours is $50 million.

This is pretty good for such a new coin, but it also exposes the coin to sudden swings (in either direction), with liquidity at only $588,000.

It’s also worth noting that there appears to be more than one Valentine-inspired meme coin at the moment, as highlighted by a tweet from analyst/trader Thanos.

GM fam, just woke up and hopped online.

Elon named male grok companion – Valentine, and when I scanned the DEX, I found three main tickers related to it:

* One on SOL, currently sitting at $14M MC
* One on ETH, bundled and hovering above $1M
* Another on SOL, at $3.5M with… pic.twitter.com/AUEaHasq0V

The $VALENTINE we’re covering in this article is the first one in Thanos’ tweet, and what’s interesting is that Thanos has recommended one (also running on Solana) with a smaller market cap.

This choice is based largely on the fact that it launched after Musk’s name announcement, making it slightly less suspect.

Snorter Raises $1.9 Million in Hugely Popular Presale: Is Trading Bot the Next Big Alt?

If $VALENTINE looks like it may dump very soon, there are other new tokens right now that show more long-term promise.

One of the most interesting of these is Snorter (SNORT), an Ethereum- and Solana-based token that’s in the process of launching its own trading bot.

— Snorter (@SnorterToken) July 16, 2025

It’s currently holding its presale, having so far raised $1.9 million from increasingly bullish investors.

This figure indicates significant confidence in Snorter, and the main reason for such confidence is the coin’s fundamentals.

As an automated sniping bot, Snorter will make rapid trades on behalf of users, buying up emerging tokens before they enjoy their biggest rallies.

That’s not all, because Snorter also comes with a copy trading feature, meaning that users can choose to APE trades of the biggest and smartest investors.

Other features include atomic swaps, limit orders, and protection against rugpulls and honeypot scams.

This all promises to make Snorter one of the best and most comprehensive Trading Bots in the market, with SNORT the only way to gain access to its features.

Holders of SNORT can also stake the token for a passive income, so demand for the token could be huge.

Investors can buy it now by going to the Snorter website, where SNORT is currently selling for $0.0985.

This price will rise incrementally every few days, until the sale ends, so interested buyers should act sooner rather than later.
