In the past few days, the internet is buzzing with Ghibli-style images, and it’s not just about the art, it’s about the money.
OpenAI’s latest update to ChatGPT has unleashed a wave of AI-generated visuals mimicking the iconic Studio Ghibli style, and it’s driving a jump in memecoins.
Ghibli memecoins got the vibe
Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are among those who’ve jumped on the bandwagon, sharing their Ghibli-fied portraits.
Musk, known for influencing crypto markets with his posts, didn’t directly mention any Ghibli-themed coins, but the impact is clear.

The most notable memecoin, Ghiblification, has skyrocketed to a market cap of $20.8 million in just 19 hours, with a 30,382% increase in value.
This is about the power of internet culture. Social media is flooded with these images, from reimagined historical events like the Kennedy assasination, to memes like Hide the Pain Harold. It’s like the whole world has become a giant anime fan club!
Funny, but illegal?
On the other hand, beneath all the fun and games, there’s a serious question, as did OpenAI violate copyright laws by training its models on Ghibli’s work?
The company claims it allows users to replicate broader studio styles, not individual artists’, but the legal waters are murky.
It’s a reminder that while AI can create amazing art, it also raises big questions about ownership and creativity.
Trend
The question now is what’s next for these Ghibli memecoins? Will they continue to grow, or will they crash like a house of cards?
Only time will tell, but one thing is certain, this is a fun trend that’s got everyone talking.
Whether you’re a crypto enthusiast or just an anime fan, it’s hard not to get caught up in the excitement.
And who knows? Maybe this is the start of something big, or maybe it’s just a flash in the pan.
