Memecoin ‘Ghiblification’ Surges in Value
In the wake of the viral AI-generated images, a new memecoin called Ghiblification was launched. Within just 15 hours of its debut, the token’s market capitalization soared past $15 million, reaching approximately $15.98 million. Trading activity was equally intense, with a 24-hour volume hitting $48.8 million.

The rapid success of Ghiblification reflects a growing trend where celebrity-backed digital content sparks speculative investment in themed cryptocurrencies. The phenomenon mirrors past market movements, such as Musk’s previous endorsements of meme tokens like Dogecoin (DOGE) and PEPE, which saw significant price surges following his social media posts.
Memecoin Market Growth and Risks
The memecoin sector has seen remarkable expansion in recent months. In Q4 2024, the market capitalization for meme coins surged to $150 billion, marking a 22% increase from the previous quarter, driven largely by celebrity endorsements and viral social media trends.

Despite the excitement, experts caution that meme coins remain highly volatile and speculative assets. Prices can fluctuate rapidly, leading to significant risks for investors. BlockBeats reminds users to conduct thorough research and assess risk factors before investing in meme coins.
As Ghibli-themed AI art and blockchain technology continue to intertwine, the financial and artistic implications of such collaborations remain a key area to watch.
