The clarification comes amid heightened scrutiny of the token, which gained attention after Binance announced a plan to donate 50% of GIGGLE spot and margin trading fees to charitable initiatives connected to Giggle Academy starting in December.

Why The Confusion Arose

The confusion stems from the token’s branding, which closely aligns with Giggle Academy’s name.

Many in the crypto community assumed that the educational platform had launched the memecoin, especially after Binance linked trading activity to charitable donations supporting the academy.

However, Giggle Academy stresses that while the GIGGLE token is associated with charitable contributions, it is a community-driven memecoin, managed by a decentralized team with no formal ties to CZ or the academy.

Despite this philanthropic mechanism, the token has experienced extreme volatility.

  • Launch & Growth: Introduced in September 2025 with a market cap of $24 million, GIGGLE steadily grew to $100 million by early October.

  • Recent Surges: On October 25th, the market cap surged 222%, peaking at $277 million, before dropping back to around $60 million. By the next day, it rose again to roughly $90 million, leaving investors and the community puzzled.

Market observers, like X user The Alchemist, warned that some activity might have involved “exit liquidity,” highlighting risks associated with highly volatile memecoins.

Binance’s Role

Binance has been indirectly linked to the token’s charitable model, pledging to donate a portion of trading fees to Giggle Academy initiatives.

While the academy is not involved in issuing the token, Binance’s participation has fueled speculation about the connection.

Binance CEO Richard Teng recently dismissed allegations that Binance had manipulated related transactions or stablecoin deals, emphasizing that decisions were made independently by investors, including Abu Dhabi’s state-owned firm MGX.

Community Reaction

The extreme fluctuations in GIGGLE’s price have stirred significant debate among traders and crypto enthusiasts.

While some see the memecoin as a playful, philanthropic venture, others caution about the risks of assuming official backing from Giggle Academy, given CZ’s public clarification.
