Despite the criticism, new tokens continue to rise, with some leaping into massive highs in a matter of days. The latest memecoin sensation, just a chill guy (CHILLGUY), has ignited a craze that sent the token to a massive 80% weekly rally. The cryptocurrency is based on a viral TikTok meme of a smirking dog in a laid-back pose dressed in casual clothing. The original drawing was created by Philip Banks in 2023 and has been slowly gaining popularity on social media platforms. The meme also became viral on X and Instagram, with several reimaginations of the ‘Chill Guy’ flooding people’s timelines. Amid the meme’s popularity boost, crypto investors created a token inspired by the internet sensation. On November 20, the meme’s momentum fueled the token’s 400% rally to $0.44 in 24 hours. However, its price momentarily dropped over 30% after Banks announced he would take legal action against the token for copyright infringement. Since then, the memecoin has surged around 50% to its all-time high (ATH), recording two new highs during the last day. The token hit the $0.56 mark on Tuesday afternoon before surging another 20% to its latest ATH of $0.65 on Wednesday morning. The cryptocurrency hit a market capitalization of $657 million before retracing below $600 million, sitting as the eighth-largest Solana-based memecoin. Memecoin Sensation Scores Major Listings The token’s frenzy has been fueled by the meme’s current popularity and its endorsement by public figures. A week ago, El Salvador’s pro-Bitcoin President, Nayib Bukele, shared the just a chill guy meme as BTC traded above $94,000 for the first time in history. Moreover, Popular YouTuber Mr. Beast called the internet sensation the “biggest meme of our lifetime” after streamer Ninja shared his version of the meme on Tuesday. Adding to the momentum, major crypto exchanges have announced their listing of the latest memecoin sensation. On November 26, Bybit listed CHILLGUY on their Spot trading platform, while Binance announced it would add perpetual contracts with up to 75x leverage to Binance Futures on November 27. Amid the CHILLGUY frenzy, an investor made over $6 million from the token. As on-chain data analytics firm Lookonchain reported, a crypto trader spent 0.75 SOL, worth $160, to buy 12.5 million CHILLGUY tokens.

Twelve days later, the trader now holds 9.2 million tokens, making a total profit of $6.1 million at the time of Lookonchain’s report. Some community members noted that if the cryptocurrency continues its rapid growth, it could flip other memecoin sensations like dogwifhat (WIF) and Popcat (POPCAT) within a week. However, it remains to be seen whether the token can sustain its current momentum or become a one-hit crypto wonder. As of this writing, CHILLGUY trades at $0.59, a 23.3% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
