Historical price evolution of FLOKI

Daily historical data. Updated automatically.

The origin of FLOKI dates back to 25th June 2021, when Elon Musk posted on Twitter that his Shiba Inu puppy would be called "Floki", in reference to the Viking character from the Vikings series. Within days, an anonymous group of developers from the Shiba Inu community launched a token with that name on Ethereum. However, the initial project faced significant internal problems: an original developer integrated code for a rug-pull and was expelled, whilst a second stole tokens before launch. On 6th July 2021, the community took control and relaunched FLOKI with a new contract, also deploying it on Binance Smart Chain to make it multichain.

On 4th November 2021, FLOKI reached its first historical ATH of approximately $0.00031, with a rise from the launch price that exceeded 250,000%. During this period, the Floki Vikings community drove marketing campaigns on London public transport and billboards in Times Square (New York) and Dubai. During 2022, in the midst of the bear market, FLOKI fell alongside the broader market, although the project announced sports sponsorships with Alfa Romeo F1, SSC Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen, in addition to launching University of Floki, an educational platform about crypto and Web3.

In January 2023, the community approved via DAO vote to burn a significant portion of the supply and reduce the transaction tax from 3% to 0.3%. Between April and May 2023, FLOKI achieved important milestones by being listed on Binance.US on 25th April and on Binance global Innovation Zone on 5th May, being the first listing on the world's highest volume exchange. In October 2023, TokenFi was launched, a real asset tokenisation platform from the Floki ecosystem, allowing FLOKI holders to stake to earn TOKEN, which caused a 52% rise in the last week of October. In December 2023, DWF Labs acquired FLOKI worth 1.2 million dollars from the project treasury, causing a 25% rise in 24 hours, closing 2023 at $0.00003523.

During March 2024, a marketing campaign in Times Square caused a rise of over 80%, whilst FLOKI entered a bullish phase alongside the memecoin boom. On 5th June 2024, the token reached its historical ATH of $0.0003449, with an annual revaluation of over 834%. In November 2024, the team announced the delay of the Valhalla launch from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025, citing recommendations from auditors Hacken and OpenZeppelin to strengthen contract security. During that same month, FLOKI was listed on Coinbase, although it was subsequently delisted in New York for regulatory reasons in March 2025.

On 4th April 2025, FLOKI was listed on Robinhood EU, giving access to more than 25 million users in Europe and becoming the first memecoin-themed token to achieve this on Robinhood. On 30th June 2025, the Valhalla mainnet was finally launched on opBNB (Layer-2 of BNB Chain), after more than three years of development. This Norse-themed MMORPG with play-to-earn mechanics, NFTs and player economy caused a 5% rise on the launch day. On 13th July 2025, FLOKI became the first token with a whitepaper registered in accordance with MiCA regulation before ESMA, obtaining Admission to Trading status to operate in regulated EU markets, which resulted in a 26% rise in seven days. During August 2025, it was listed on Robinhood US, becoming one of the few memecoins to achieve this milestone. On 3rd October 2025, Valour Floki debuted on the Swedish Spotlight Stock Market exchange as the first regulated ETP on FLOKI in Europe and first BNB Chain token (excluding BNB) to achieve an ETP on a European regulated market, causing a rise of more than 30% in 24 hours. Subsequently, in October 2025, Elon Musk posted an AI-generated video of his dog Floki as CEO of X, which caused a rise of approximately 27% in the token price.

FLOKI operates as a multichain token implemented both on Ethereum under the ERC-20 standard and on Binance Smart Chain through BEP-20, with a total supply of 10 trillion units of which a significant portion has been removed from circulation through deflationary burning mechanisms. The token applies a 0.3% tax on all transactions, whose funds are allocated to ecosystem development and marketing activities. The project's governance functions in a decentralised manner through the Floki DAO, where the community of holders, referred to as Floki Vikings, participates in protocol decisions.

The FLOKI ecosystem is structured around multiple operational products that include Valhalla, a play-to-earn MMORPG game with Nordic-themed NFTs deployed on mainnet in June 2025 on the opBNB network; FlokiFi, a decentralised finance suite for management and custody of digital assets; University of Floki as an educational platform about cryptocurrencies and Web3; FlokiPlaces functioning as an NFT and merchandising marketplace; and TokenFi, a real asset tokenisation platform where FLOKI holders can perform staking to obtain rewards in TOKEN. Additionally, the ecosystem includes an integrated trading bot for Telegram that facilitates automated operations.

Since its origin as a memecoin in 2021 inspired by Elon Musk's Shiba Inu dog, FLOKI has developed distinctive characteristics in the regulatory space by becoming the first memecoin with a whitepaper registered under MiCA regulations with ESMA and the first BNB Chain token, excluding native BNB, to have a regulated exchange-traded product (ETP) listed in Europe. The token's price maintains an observable correlation with publications that Elon Musk makes about his pet, whilst the project's technical development is managed by a team that operates under pseudonyms.
