If you open X right now, you are likely to see more than one post featuring Ghibli-style images in your feed. Behind this trend is the new image generation feature recently launched by ChatGPT. Hayao Miyazaki and the Ghibli Studio can be considered the pinnacle of Japanese cultural export, and they are using this 2C AI application small scene to blow into every corner of the global internet.
Celebrity Effect Drives Trend Spread
On March 26, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was the first to join this trend, posting a self-deprecating tweet on Twitter, stating that he was unexpectedly "Ghibli-fied," and changed his profile picture to a Ghibli-style image. This tweet quickly attracted a lot of attention and became a hot topic on social media.
Subsequently, celebrities in the tech and crypto circles, who are most sensitive to trends, also followed suit, uploading their own "Ghibli-fied" avatars. For example, Elon Musk mentioned in a tweet, "This is today's theme," and shared his Ghibli-style image. Additionally, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor also uploaded images rendered in Ghibli style, fully demonstrating the strong infectiousness of this trend.
The Rise of MEME Coins
Social hotspots and internet memes often serve as fertile ground for Meme coins to draw inspiration. This Ghibli trend has indeed spawned many related themed Meme coins. Coins like "Ghiblification," "GhibliCZ," and "Ghibli Doge" have quickly risen in popularity. Odaily Planet Daily selects a few representatives for a brief introduction:

Currently, the trend of changing avatars and creating various Ghibli-style images is still ongoing. The viral spread patterns of popular filters, lenses, and challenges from ten years ago seem to still apply to today's internet world. The difference is that the emergence of Meme coins has tokenized, financialized, and speculated attention. Here, Odaily Planet Daily also wants to remind everyone that while this trend may bring some investment opportunities in the short term, it is more important to withdraw in a timely manner under the "fast food" heat.
