Meme coins are igniting the crypto market, with New XAI Gork ($GORK) skyrocketing on Bitget’s Spot listing and CartelFi surging 70% in its presale.
These Solana-based projects are riding a wave of hype, driven by Elon Musk’s influence and innovative DeFi mechanics.
While GORK captures speculative frenzy, CartelFi offers a structured approach to monetizing memes.
As investors eye massive gains, the question looms: how high can these tokens climb? This article explores their meteoric rises and future potential.
XAI Gork: Meme coin madness fueled by Musk
New XAI Gork ($GORK) is a Solana-based meme token inspired by xAI’s Grok AI chatbot, though it lacks official ties to the company. Its branding taps into the AI craze and meme culture, amplified by community-driven meme contests and AI-themed events.
The token’s appeal lies in its ability to harness viral trends, making it a darling of retail investors. With a market cap exceeding $52 million, GORK is carving a niche among Solana’s 1,800+ meme coins. Its rapid adoption signals strong community backing.
The catalyst for GORK’s surge is partly Elon Musk’s X name change to “Gorklon Rust” on May 4, 2025. This move, paired with Musk’s playful interaction with the @gork account, sent the token to an all-time high of $0.0832.
Trading volume hit $202 million in 24 hours, propelling GORK to CoinGecko’s second-most trending spot.
Musk’s history of sparking rallies—KEKIUS up 504%, HARRYBOLZ up 3,000%—underscores his influence. GORK’s follower count on X jumped from 86,000 to over 113,000, fueling FOMO.
Bitget’s listing, supercharged GORK’s momentum, leading to a 185% spike on Bitget Onchain, bouyed by the Spot listing in the Innovation, AI, and Meme Zone offered 0% fee purchases with 140+ currencies.

Analysts predict GORK could hit $0.10 if market conditions remain favorable, citing Bitget’s track record with early listings.
Technical indicators like MACD and RSI suggest further upside, despite volatility.
However, scepticism persists, with analysts warning of a BONK-like 90% crash.
GORK’s $0.10 target hinges on sustained hype and Bitget’s upcoming campaigns. Its $52 million market cap could swell to $100 million, as predicted by analyst Haze, if community engagement, via meme contests, persists.
However, volatility remains a risk, with “Gorklon Rust” tokens plummeting after 7,000% spikes.
GORK’s lack of fundamental utility could cap its long-term growth. Still, its Solana base and Musk-driven buzz position it as a short-term moonshot with explosive potential.
CartelFi: Turning memes into yield-bearing assets
Amid the GROK market volatility, CartelFi emerges as another investment alternative during its ongoing token CARTFI presale.
Contrary to the Xai Grok, which is just another meme coin, CartelFi is a DeFi protocol on Ethereum and Solana, aiming to revolutionise meme coins by transforming them into yield-bearing assets.
Its Yield Dorado protocol offers staking pools with APYs up to 1000%, targeting $50 billion in idle meme coin capital.
Unlike GORK’s speculative frenzy, CartelFi will provide utility through single-asset staking and liquidity pools for coins like PEPE and SHIB.
The CartelFi presale, launched April 8, 2025, has raised over $1.592 million, with the CARTFI token price jumping 70% from its $0.0251 starting price to its current price of $0.0428.
Structured in 30 stages with 5% price hikes every 72 hours, the presale rewards early investors with up to 316% gains by July 7, 2025, when the presale is projected to come to an end.
With $500,000 raised in 24 hours and $1 million in a week, momentum is strong. The final presale price of $0.10 mirrors GORK’s target, promising significant returns with SolidProof’s audit bolstering investor confidence.
Beyond the presale, CartelFi’s staking pools—Long (1000% APY, 6 months), Medium (250% APY, 4 months), and Small (150% APY, 3 months)—are set to launch in Q3 2025.
This post-presale platform debut will enable meme coin holders to earn CARTFI rewards without selling, a game-changer for capital efficiency.
The protocol’s ability to onboard tokens like DOGE and potentially GORK enhances its appeal.
In addition, it will feature a deflationary mechanism set to burn 50% of the token supply, reducing the 1 billion CARTFI supply. This will most likely ensure relentless upward pressure on CARTFI’s value.
By the presale’s end, CartelFi is expected to hit $0.10, with early investors eyeing 300%+ gains before exchange listings.
Post-launch, analysts predict a climb to $0.50–$1.00 within a year, driven by staking demand and burns.
Unlike GORK’s reliance on hype, CartelFi’s utility—monetizing $90 billion in meme coin capital—offers sustainability.
In addition, its Solana compatibility could integrate volatile tokens like GORK, stabilizing them with yields, making CartelFi a superior long-term investment.
