Elon Musk’s latest nod to Starbase’s cityhood proves even crypto markets enjoy a good municipal milestone. ETH rallied steadily: +0.55% in 1 minute, +0.71% in 5, +0.87% in 10, as if traders suddenly remembered blockchain could theoretically power local governance. DOGE and GORK inched up too, though their gains were so modest you’d think they were waiting for a dogecoin-themed city council. Volatility was tame compared to historical norms: last year’s similar post moved ETH by a mere 0.07% over 5 minutes, suggesting this time the market decided Starbase’s paperwork was marginally more thrilling. Nothing says “efficient markets” like altcoins pumping because a rocket company’s HQ got a zoning permit.
