New Keanu Reeves Meme Coin Launches Today as Bitcoin Blasts Past $92,000

Bitcoin has been on the mother of all rips in the last few weeks, and in the last 24 hours, it cracked the $92,000 mark as a new all-time high appears on the cards.

The broader crypto market has been pumping like crazy as a result, with meme coins the standout segment, surging to a dizzying $125 billion market capitalization. 

A new Keanu Reeves-themed crypto, Keanu (KNU), will complete a fair launch on Pump.fun today, and the team is clearly banking on the market’s runaway gains quickly turning into serious buy pressure.

What next for BTC? Bitcoin price prediction 2024

Over the past five days, the Bitcoin price has exhibited notable volatility, fluctuating between $89,000 and $92,500. The market is currently grappling with resistance at $92,000.

Having hit an all-time high of $93,445 on the 13th of November, 2024, driven by the elation surrounding Trump’s electoral romp, BTC had retreated back down near $86,000 as investors took profits off the table, but bull season has kicked back into top gear this week.

Thanks to strong institutional interest and favorable regulatory developments, plenty of analysts now feel BTC is on course to reach $100,000 by the end of 2024, with some estimates as high as $125,000.

Keanu looks to take advantage of the Bitcoin bull frenzy

Right now, even run-of-the-mill Shiba clones like Koma Inu are up 1,150% in a fortnight, while new meme entrants like Dasha are up 5,000% in the same time period. So, what happens when a figure as famous—and loved—as Keanu Reeves hits the market? And why hasn’t he already had a token minted in his honor?

Degens will have their eyes firmly fixed on today’s opening price action, especially those who missed out on getting in early with Peanut the Squirrel’s recent moonshot. But even normie money could come into play. 

Keanu has the kind of plurality of appeal we rarely see with a new crypto, even among the simplicity of meme coins, which have been a hidden on-ramp for newbies to ape into the crypto market. 

Crypto’s new golden boy? Why Keanu could be primed for mass adoption

From pop culture pilgrims to Hollywood fanboys, Keanu could have the makings of a mass-adoption-driving powerhouse, which could see the 93.2% of people who don’t currently own a cryptocurrency make their meme market debut. 

But for now, it’s still early days. With 1 billion KNU tokens hitting Pump.fun in a massively anticipated fair launch, just how heavy will the buy pressure be on day one? Keep your eyes on the charts to see how quickly KNU completes the bonding curve—you could see this bad boy on Raydium very shortly.
