Floki Up 16% As GraFun Meme Coin Launchpad Debuts On Binance Smart Chain

Floki FLOKI/USD has entered into a partnership with GraFun, new meme coin launchpad set to debut on the Binance Smart Chain BNB/USD.

What Happened: The platform, which follows similar models on other blockchains, aims to facilitate the creation and launch of meme coins within the BNB ecosystem.

Following this news, Floki’s token price increased by around 16%. It is now up 27.6% over the past week, making the meme coin one of the ten best performing cryptocurrencies on the market.

According to an announcement, GraFun utilizes a bonding curve model for token launches, allowing users to create meme coins without extensive technical knowledge.

This approach lets market demand determine a coin’s viability and potential listing on decentralized exchanges.

The launchpad has secured partnerships with several entities in the cryptocurrency space, including BNB Chain, DeXe Protocol and HOT Protocol.

DWF Labs has also joined as a strategic partner.

According to the announcement, Floki will acquire a 40% ownership stake in the platform and receive 40% of its revenue.
