$Ghibli's Half-day 100x, GPT-4o's New Feature Sweeps the Entire Web with "Miyazaki Hayao Style"
From last night to this morning, a large number of meme images suddenly emerged on platforms like X that are extremely similar in style to Hayao Miyazaki's film works. For example, the image below, which is still very popular on the internet as a "super universal" meme, has taken on a new charm and vitality in Miyazaki's "Ghibli style" rendering.
Of course, some classic old series and iconic scenes also appeared in this "remake feast," turning into dark jokes such as "Thanks Soros" and "Plane hitting the tower"...
At the same time, a meme coin named $Ghibli also launched on the blockchain in express mode. It started to surge from yesterday at 6 p.m., and under the hype from all sides this morning, its market value skyrocketed. As of the time of writing, it has surpassed $24 million with a 24-hour surge of over 10824%.
What happened? What is Ghibli?
Of course, all of this is thanks to the freshly baked feature of GPT-4o.
On Tuesday, OpenAI activated the image generator built into GPT-4o, which is officially referred to as the "most advanced image generator to date" with the ability to produce "accurate, precise, and realistic native multimodal outputs." People discovered that this image generator is particularly good at replicating the anime style of Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli.
In his Wednesday tweet, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman was the first to start this "Ghibli viral spread" and even changed his own profile picture to a Ghibli-style image.
Subsequently, many Twitter personalities also began to imitate, uploading their own images rendered in Ghibli style. Even Elon Musk, the founder of Grok AI and a fierce competitor of OpenAI, wrote in his "image tweet": This is today's theme.
Although ChatGPT previously allowed users to create images from text prompts, it did so by routing them to another separate OpenAI model, DALL-E 3.
The reason the GPT-4o model is named "o" is because it is an "Omni" model. This means that OpenAI has not only trained it on text data but also on image data and even audiovisual data, enabling it to understand all these forms of media and their similarities. It can generate the given media based on user prompts without relying on any external models.
Recently, AI giants have been fiercely competing in the field of image generation models, with Google also releasing an experimental image creation model called Gemini 2.0 Flash. It is evident that having AI as your personal artist, creating an image that fully understands your intention, is becoming a very simple task.
Hayao Miyazaki, co-founder of Studio Ghibli, has expressed strong opposition to AI-generated animation in the past. At a conference in 2016, Miyazaki made a statement regarding AI animation, saying, "I feel repulsed. If you really want to create something that is eerie, you can go ahead. I never want to incorporate this technology into my work," and further described it as "an insult to life itself."
How to Generate Your Own Ghibli?
First, navigate to chat.com or chatgpt.com and make sure you are using a GPT Plus, Pro, or Team account, and the AI model selector shows "GPT-4o."
Use the "+" button at the bottom left of the real-time input text box to upload an image, and then you can instruct the new GPT-4o with an image creation model to "redraw this image in the style of Ghibli animation." You can also upload multiple images and combine them into one image using the Ghibli style. In any case, with plenty of experimentation, 4o will bring you many surprises.
Of course, the related meme token $Ghibli simply merges the artistic aesthetics of Studio Ghibli and the trend of AI-generated content in terms of narrative. Its rapid rise to fame on Twitter is attributed to this. However, the team information behind the token is currently not clear, and investors should tread carefully when considering the associated risks.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.
The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.
Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.
Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.
The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:
· Choose the trading asset
· Select long or short
· Input position size and leverage
· Confirm order details
· Confirm and open the position
The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.
Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:
· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members
· End-to-end encrypted voice communication
· One-click position sharing
· One-click trade copying
On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.
By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.
Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:
· Users can join with an invite code
· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards
· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings
This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.
Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:
· Separation of transaction account and asset storage
· User full control over assets
· Platform does not custody user funds
· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure
The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.
Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.
The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.
Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.
This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."
The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.
Its core capabilities include:
· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations
· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets
· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries
· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
Mixin has been in operation for over 8 years, supporting over 40 blockchains and more than 10,000 assets, with a global user base exceeding 10 million and an on-chain self-custodied asset scale of over $1 billion.
