After today’s viral trend of Studio Ghibli-themed images, Binance Alpha has listed two similar-themed meme coins – Ghiblification (Ghibli) and GhibliCZ (Ghibli).
Ghiblification reached over $35 million in the market today, earlier today, while GhibliCZ hit $14 million. This massive hype has influenced Binance to add the tokens to its pre-listing Alpha platform.
Why are Ghibli Meme Coins Taking Over the Crypto Market?
Studio Ghibli is trending in the crypto space after OpenAI’s release of its latest image generation feature. Social media users, including celebrities, have been using this feature today to create images in the distinctive style of Studio Ghibli.
This style is renowned for films like Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro. The internet quickly became flooded with AI-generated Ghibli-style images, sparking the creation and rapid appreciation of related meme coins.
Several Ghibli-themed meme coins flooded decentralized exchanges. Ghiblification (GHIBLI) was the first token to take off. The Solana meme coin soared over 50,000% to hit $36 million in market cap.
GhibliCZ also hit a $14 million cap in hours. However, it was launched on the BNB chain. Ghiblification rallied another 30% following the Binance Alpha listing. According to Dexscreener, the token has more buy orders than sell.
How is Binance Alpha Listing Different?
Binance Alpha is a platform within Binance Wallet that spotlights early-stage crypto projects. It generally lists tokens with strong community interest and growth potential.
While some of these tokens may be considered for future listings on the main Binance Exchange, such inclusion is not guaranteed.
The primary distinction between a Binance Alpha listing and a regular Binance Exchange listing lies in the level of vetting and the intended purpose.
“I am probably the last guy to try this. Not going to change my profile pic, as it will put the bluetick into review mode again. And I quite like my current non-ghibli profile pic,” Binance founder CZ wrote after uploading his Ghibli image on X.
Binance Alpha serves as a pre-listing platform. It provides users with access to emerging projects that have not yet undergone the comprehensive due diligence required for a full exchange listing.
In contrast, tokens listed on the Binance Exchange have completed rigorous evaluations.
It’s important to note that tokens featured on Binance Alpha may pose higher risks and be subject to significant price volatility.
