A Solana (SOL)-based memecoin is making headlines after Coinbase added it to its listing roadmap. Gigachad (GIGA), inspired by Russian bodybuilder Ernest Khalimov, surged by 51% following this announcement.

On Wednesday morning, GIGA was trading at $0.0414. It quickly shot up to a high of $0.0627. Right now, it has retraced a bit and is trading at $0.04856. With a market cap of $467.5 million, GIGA ranks as the 237th largest crypto project.

Coinbase uses its listing roadmap to promote transparency and prevent insider trading. When an asset appears on this roadmap, it means Coinbase believes it will likely be available for trading soon.

In addition to GIGA, Coinbase also announced the listing of Turbo (TURBO), another memecoin based on Ethereum (ETH) and inspired by GPT-4. After the announcement, TURBO jumped from $0.007723 to $0.009075, which is more than a 17% increase. Currently, TURBO is trading at $0.008165, with a market cap of $563.1 million, making it the 202nd largest crypto project.

These two memecoins are just part of a larger group that Coinbase plans to support. This week, the exchange revealed it would add MOG Coin (MOG), a memecoin available on both Ethereum and Base blockchains. They also introduced a new Solana-based memecoin called Moo Deng (MOODENG).

As of now, MOG is trading at $0.000002317, down 4.6% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, MOODENG is trading at $0.0001323, up 12.7% in the same period.
