Seemingly out of nowhere, Cat Coin launched with an initial market cap of $25 million. Within five days, more than 13 exchanges competed to list it, driving its market cap up to $200 million, making it the most-traded meme coin on the BNB Chain. Its price soared like a runaway horse, leaving many to wonder if they’ve stumbled into a fantasy bull market. This is the latest meme token sensation on the BNB Chain—Cat. In its Telegram group, over 20,000 passionate holders are cheering it on: “If March’s Solana meme season and MEW kicked off the cats vs. dogs rivalry in crypto, then Cat will make cats great again in the digital world!”

Looking Back at Simon’s Cat Development and Its Strong Connection with Floki

Simon’s Cat Token is an officially endorsed memecoin, backed by the full intellectual property rights of the iconic Simon’s Cat brand. The Simon’s Cat series is based on the beloved British animated show created by Simon Tofield. With over 1.6 billion views on its official YouTube channel and even more across social media, the series enjoys widespread popularity. Floki announced that on August 20, it would launch the Simon’s Cat token on the TokenFi Launchpad. The Simon’s Cat Token will be issued exclusively on the BNB Chain, with the ticker symbol CAT, and a total supply of 9 trillion tokens. The presale raised $4.25 million, giving it a presale market cap of $25 million. All tokens will be unlocked and available for trading at the Token Generation Event (TGE). On August 20, FLOKI shared an article revealing that Binance would support an airdrop of Simon’s Cat (CAT) tokens to FLOKI holders. Users holding FLOKI on Binance don’t need to withdraw their tokens. To be eligible for the CAT airdrop, users must hold at least 400,000 FLOKI tokens on Binance. Binance will distribute the CAT airdrop based on a snapshot taken on August 30, 2024, at 07:59:59. A total of 390 million CAT tokens will be distributed proportionally based on the FLOKI holdings of eligible users. On August 22, the FLOKI DAO voted to invest $200,000 from the FLOKI treasury into Simon’s Cat Token, marking it as a strategic asset. On August 26, the Simon’s Cat (CAT) meme token team announced on social media that they had locked $15 million worth of CAT tokens for liquidity, using the FlokiFi Locker protocol.

At the time of writing, CAT is priced at $0.00042814, showing a 24-hour increase of 26.38%, with a current market capitalization of $210 million. The liquidity pool stands at $14 million.

This surge in CAT’s value hints at the powerful forces behind it—it’s evident that CAT is closely tied to major Web3 players like Floki, Binance, and DWF Labs. These connections have driven significant market interest in CAT. Despite a brief pullback at the resistance level of $0.000025, market enthusiasm remains strong.

The tightening and subsequent expansion of the Bollinger Bands suggest that early investors may have taken profits ahead of a new buying wave. Furthermore, the token’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is oscillating between overbought and neutral zones, indicating that CAT is far from oversold, leaving room for further market growth.

In short, the story of CAT is still unfolding, and each market fluctuation hints at its vast potential.

The Strong Background of Cat: The Animation “Simon’s Cat”

Simon’s Cat is a hugely popular animated series created by British animator Simon Tofield. Originally starting as a series of online animated shorts, it later grew into a franchise that includes books, apps, and children’s literature.

In 2008, Simon Tofield released the first Simon’s Cat animated short, which quickly went viral, amassing millions of views on YouTube. The series revolves around a pet cat named “Simon’s Cat” and its amusing interactions with other animals in Simon’s household. The cat’s mischievous, funny, and charming personality has won over many fans.

In the series, Simon’s Cat frequently finds itself in hilarious encounters and adventures with other animals in the garden, such as birds, rabbits, and squirrels. The animation’s style is simple and humorous, often without dialogue, using only the characters’ actions and expressions to convey the story, which gives it broad appeal across different audiences.

As the series gained popularity, Simon’s Cat grew into a brand. Simon Tofield went on to write several books featuring the beloved cat, and in 2019, he released an animated film called Simon’s Cat: The Big Adventure. The series’ lighthearted tone and humorous portrayal of animal antics have made it a favorite with audiences worldwide.

Simon’s Cat’s official Twitter account currently boasts over 460,000 followers, while its YouTube channel has 6.27 million subscribers, with one popular video reaching over 50 million views. This strong brand presence has provided a solid foundation for the marketing of the Cat token.

What’s the Community’s Take on This?

Cat’s official Twitter account is highly active, constantly featuring creative content based on the Simon’s Cat animation. This content not only strengthens the brand image but also draws widespread attention. On the trading side, the number of Cat wallets has quickly surpassed 30,000, demonstrating its growing popularity among investors.

Currently, there isn’t much discussion about Cat on platforms like X or Telegram in China, with most of the buzz coming from international communities.

Cat’s Telegram community is bustling with activity. Foreign users remain highly optimistic about Cat, eagerly promoting it (CX). The Telegram chat is filled with creative content like homemade memes from holders, with many saying that Cat has already gone viral. If Cat continues to gain traction, it could potentially build an ecosystem similar to that of 4Chan (the well-known meme site).

Narrative + Backing from BNB Chain: Can Cat Reach Its Full Potential?

With multiple favorable factors, including upcoming interest rate cuts, this bull market may hit epic new highs. The cryptocurrency space is heading into a frenzy, and one of the key consensus points this time is the hunt for the next super meme coin.

Recently, Binance Wallet has been making strategic moves, with its ongoing listing of low-market-cap coins sparking renewed activity in the secondary market, bringing back long-absent market energy. This has drawn considerable attention to the Binance ecosystem. Additionally, as CZ’s release date draws near, the market’s expectations for Binance-related concepts and its ecosystem are quietly rising.

Will Cat Coin be able to catch this powerful wave and soar? Only time will tell.
