BAN is inspired by one of art history’s most iconic memes: Maurizio Cattelan’s *Comedian*, the world-famous banana that made waves at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2019. This notorious artwork, now set to debut at Sotheby’s auction in November with an estimated value of $1-1.5 million, has earned its place among the century’s most groundbreaking pieces, from Duchamp to Warhol.
Launched on Solana just four days ago, BAN has already surpassed a $23 million market cap and is available on some CEX spot markets. With such impressive growth in such a short time, could BAN become the first memecoin to hit a $300 million market cap?
Well, since it's meme coins, you can expect anything. A price spike depending on the way the community responds to the project narrative. But from observation, Memecoin associated with Arts often stirs unpredictable price movement just like arts works are largely appreciated by those with interest in arts and paintings. A token like BAN linked to Mauricio Cattelan should get attention or what's new?
