After the viral trend of Studio Ghibli theme images today, Binance Alpha listed two similar themed meme coins, Ghiblification (Ghibli) and GhibliCZ (Ghibli).
Ghiblification exceeded $35 million in the market today, and GhibliCZ reached $14 million. This tremendous interest influenced Binance to add the tokens to its pre-listing Alpha platform.
Why are Ghibli Meme Coins Conquering the Cryptocurrency Market?
Studio Ghibli has been a hot topic in the crypto space since OpenAI's latest image generation feature was released. Social media users, especially celebrities, are creating images today in Studio Ghibli's unique style using this feature.
This style is famous for movies like 'Spirited Away' and 'My Neighbor Totoro'. The internet quickly filled with AI-generated Ghibli-style images, triggering the creation of related meme coins and their rapid value increase.โ
Several Ghibli-themed meme coins have flooded decentralized exchanges. Ghiblification (GHIBLI) was the first token to surge dramatically. The Solana meme coin surged over 50,000%, reaching a market cap of $36 million.
GhibliCZ also reached $14 million within a few hours. However, it was launched on the BNB Chain. Ghiblification rose an additional 30% after listing on Binance Alpha. According to Dexscreener, this token has more buy orders than sell orders.
Binance Alpha Listing: How is it Different?
Binance Alpha is a platform within Binance Wallet that highlights early-stage cryptocurrency projects. It typically lists tokens with strong community interest and growth potential.
Some of these tokens may be listed on the main Binance exchange, but such inclusion is not guaranteed.โ
The key differences between Binance Alpha listing and listing on the main Binance exchange lie in the level of scrutiny and intended purpose.
"I might be the last person to try this. I won't change my profile picture. Blue tick will go into review mode again. I like my current non-Ghibli profile picture." Binance founder CZ wrote after uploading a Ghibli image to X.
Binance Alpha is a pre-listing platform that allows users to access emerging projects that have not yet undergone comprehensive due diligence for full exchange listing.
In contrast, tokens listed on the Binance exchange have completed a rigorous evaluation.
It should be noted that tokens introduced on Binance Alpha may carry higher risks and can be exposed to significant price volatility.
