A bizarre twist of AI tech and nostalgia is seeing memecoin enthusiasts issue, pump, and dump tokens themed after Studio Ghibli movies
Memecoin enthusiasts have created and hyped up cryptocurrencies themed after Studio Ghibli movies in a bizarre fusion of AI technology and nostalgia. The new trend comes as OpenAI’s newly released 4o model, its most powerful image generation tool that renders artwork based on specific user instructions and style guidelines, went viral for its capabilities in mimicking the characteristic vibe and style of artists and animators.
The hashtag #GhibliAI has since racked up millions of hits on X and Instagram as users experimented with the style. The images quickly grabbed the attention of crypto traders, leading them to launch tokens in an homage to the studio’s films.

A flurry of Ghibli-themed cryptocurrencies are doing the rounds on Ethereum and Solana blockchains, with "ghiblification" (GHIBLI) emerging as the biggest one yet with a $21 million market cap as of Asian morning hours.
The new token is a reference to the anime studio’s signature style of animation, blending fantasy and reality with a warm touch, which the AI image generation technology has enabled in recent days with its creations.
Inspired memecoins often go viral and tend to rack up bets because they tap into internet culture’s love for humor, absurdity, and community. Their low entry cost and wild price swings draw speculators chasing quick gains, amplifying buzz.
The new cryptocurrency has already racked up nearly $70 million in trading volumes in just 24 hours of going live from a little over 250,000 individual trades. The token’s liquidity pool has just over $330,000 worth of Solana’s SOL (meaning the max a GHIBLI holder can exchange their holdings for, minus price declines).
Smaller tokens such as Ghilbi Doge, a Studio Ghibli-inspired doge, and popular movie characters NoFace and Yutaro have also been created by crypto traders. However, these have not gained much traction among traders as of Asian afternoon hours.
