Ghibli Token Gains Momentum with Major Exchange Listings
The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a surge in new tokens inspired by viral trends, and Ghiblification (GHIBLI) is no exception. This meme coin, inspired by the Studio Ghibli AI art phenomenon, has quickly gained traction, securing listings on multiple major exchanges within just two days of its launch.
GHIBLI Lands on Gate.io, BingX, and More
Among the most notable listings, Gate.io has introduced GHIBLI to its Pilot Section, an exclusive trading board for early-stage, high-potential tokens. The exchange announced:
“New Listing: GHIBLI from Gate.io Pilot Section. Trading Pair: GHIBLI / USDT. Trading Starts: 02:00 AM, March 28th (UTC).”
Similarly, BingX added GHIBLI to its Innovation Zone, which offers users access to trending tokens but comes with the warning of potential volatility.
“The Innovation Zone is designed to provide users with secure and fast trading of trending on-chain tokens. However, newly issued tokens may experience significant price volatility or even a rapid loss of all value,” BingX stated.
Additionally, reports indicate that Binance Alpha has listed GHIBLI alongside another token, GhibliCZ. OXFUN also made headlines by offering GHIBLI trading with up to five times leverage, allowing traders to amplify their positions and potentially increase both profits and risks.
“GHIBLI up 42% and traded more than ETH on OXFUN,” the platform noted.
Further listings followed from HTX, AscendEX, and CoinEx between March 27 and March 28, fueling even greater market activity.
Price Surge and Market Response
The influx of exchange listings has propelled GHIBLI’s value, which has risen by 44.4% in the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, the token is trading at $0.027 with a market capitalization of $27.5 million.
The Viral Studio Ghibli Trend Behind GHIBLI’s Success
The rise of GHIBLI is deeply connected to the viral Ghiblification trend, sparked by OpenAI’s GPT-4 update, which introduced text-to-image capabilities that allowed users to generate Studio Ghibli-style artwork. The trend quickly took over social media, drawing attention from high-profile figures such as Elon Musk and Michael Saylor.
On March 26, Musk posted a Ghibli-style image on X (formerly Twitter), humorously depicting himself as a character from The Lion King holding the Dogecoin (DOGE) mascot with the caption, “Theme of the day.” Meanwhile, Saylor joined in with a Ghibli-inspired post advocating for holding Bitcoin, writing, “You do not sell your Bitcoin.”
What’s Next for GHIBLI?
As the Ghiblification trend continues to dominate social media, GHIBLI’s momentum remains strong. However, whether this surge is a fleeting trend or a sustained movement in the meme coin market remains uncertain. With continued exchange support and high trading volume, GHIBLI may yet carve out a lasting presence in the crypto space.
