Taking Simon’s Cat (CAT) as an example, this token with strong IP support surged 50% in a single day after being listed on Binance spot, with a market value once exceeding 200 million dollars.
The success of CAT demonstrates the legal advantages and market potential of IP-supported Meme coins, opening up a realm of imagination for the entire cat-themed Token sector.
02 GCAT: Gate Ecological New Star
Within the Gate ecosystem, a cat-themed token GCAT is showing strong momentum.

The market capitalization of GCAT has exceeded 2 million USD, with trading volume steadily increasing and a relatively stable trend.
