In late July 2025, the Vine Coin (VINE) token became the centre of attention in the crypto community after Elon Musk announced his intention to bring Vine back to life in the form of artificial intelligence. The announcement caused a sharp rise in the coin's price and a wave of interest from investors and traders.
The token was created in early 2025 by Rus Yusupov, co-founder of the original Vine video service. Initially, the project attracted attention due to its recognisable brand name, but after a brief speculative wave, the price collapsed rapidly and interest in VINE almost vanished. The situation changed dramatically after a tweet by Musk, in which he hinted at a resurgence of Vine thanks to artificial intelligence technologies.
Within a few hours of publication, the token rose in value by more than 120%. The market capitalisation grew to nearly $90 million, with daily trading volume exceeding $200 million. At the same time, the value of the coin touched peaks between 8 and 17 cents, before stabilising at a more stable level around 10 cents.

Despite impressive growth, the project still has serious problems. VINE has no clear roadmap, no finished product, and no official link to Musk's statements. Many analysts regard this token as a purely speculative asset, subject to 'pump' and 'dump'. Moreover, the project does not provide transparent information on the token distribution, the development team and future plans.
The Community Discusses the Future of VINE: Serious Investment or Just Another Meme Coin?
The online community is actively debating whether VINE should be considered a serious investment tool or just another "meme coin" riding on the hype of big names. Some users hope for the introduction of DeFi features, staking mechanics or the implementation of DAO models. However, most admit that at the moment the currency remains extremely volatile and unstable.
Rus Yusupov himself has indirectly supported the idea of bringing back Vine as a platform for next-generation creators in his comments, but so far without any official statements on how (and if) the token will be integrated into the future product.
Analysts point out that the situation of VINE clearly illustrates the influence of Elon Musk on the cryptocurrency market. A single tweet can trigger explosive growth without any fundamental basis. This raises questions about the need to regulate behaviour of this kind and warns investors about the risks of investing in projects without a clear structure.
At the moment, Vine Coin is the talk of the town, and the future fate of the project will depend on whether or not the hype will be followed by concrete actions to launch a product and create an ecosystem around the token.
