Ethereum news broke on April 17 as the Ethereum-based meme coin ASTEROID surged past $20 million in market cap, reaching $21.84 million. The 24-hour trading volume hit $14.7 million. ASTEROID is linked to a zero-gravity toy designed by a 15-year-old girl before her passing. Her mother asked Elon Musk to consider it as a SpaceX mascot, and Musk replied, “I will respond soon.” Blockbeats warns that meme coins are highly volatile and lack intrinsic value. Ethereum’s price today remains a key metric for traders monitoring the broader market.

BlockBeats report, April 17: According to GMGN monitoring, the Ethereum-based meme coin ASTEROID has surpassed a market cap of $20 million, currently at $21.84 million—a new all-time high—with a 24-hour trading volume of $14.7 million.

BlockBeats Note: Before passing away from cancer, 15-year-old Liv Perrotto’s greatest wish was to meet Musk, and she wrote a list of questions she wanted to ask. She had previously helped design a zero-gravity indicator doll called "Asteroid," shaped like a Shiba Inu. Her mother subsequently published an open letter to Musk, urging him to consider making Asteroid the official mascot of SpaceX in accordance with Liv’s final wish. Musk responded, “I’ll reply soon.”

BlockBeats reminds users that Meme coins exhibit extreme price volatility, largely driven by market sentiment and hype around concepts, with no real value or use case—investors should be aware of the risks.
