The implementation of AI image features in ChatGPT-4o has generated a widespread emergence of Ghibli-style art on the internet. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman unveiled the change on March 25th which caused an explosion of Studio Ghibli-styled visuals across internet platforms. New anime-themed memecoins have emerged because of Ghibli-inspired content growth, thus capturing quick adoption from crypto community members.
The GhibliCZ, Shibli Inu and Ghibli Doge tokens have seen remarkable increases in popularity based on CoinMarketCap data. Of all the memecoins introduced, Ghiblification (GHIBLI) has become the most prominent because traders and meme enthusiasts show significant interest in it. Early investors profited from these tokens but experts predict that rug pulls and scams will become more likely because most of these tokens lack genuine use cases.
Studio Ghibli, the Japanese animation house founded in 1985, is not associated with these tokens. Its brand has been unofficially adopted in the aesthetic boom fueled by AI, which may further raise legal concerns in the near future.
