Elon Musk Drops Dogecoin Studio Ghibli Meme As 'Ghiblification' Social Media Hype Incepts New Meme Coin

A new wave of meme coin speculation has erupted on Solana SOL/USD following the debut of ChatGPT's latest AI image generation feature.

What Happened: In an X post on March 25, Sam Altman announced ChatGPT-4o's enhanced AI image generation capabilities.

The new feature sparked widespread excitement, with users comparing the AI-generated visuals to the distinctive art style of Studio Ghibli.

The Studio is a Japanese animation studio with an expansive portfolio to include short subjects, television commercials and some television films.

Ghibli Got Memecoin-ED

Traders quickly capitalized on the trend, launching multiple Ghibli-themed meme coins on Solana.

The biggest gainer, Ghiblification (GHIBLI), currently at a $17 million market cap, surged to as high as 35,000% within hours.

The frenzy was so intense that exchange CoinEx Global listed GHIBLI almost immediately, enabling trading against USDT.
