Binance’s Giggle Academy to Liquidate All GIGGLE Token Donations—Here’s What It Means for Crypto Education

Binance's educational arm makes a bold move—converting all donated GIGGLE tokens into immediate funding.

Giggle Academy's strategic liquidation sparks debate: visionary funding move or another crypto charity struggling to find real-world utility?

The initiative aims to fuel blockchain education programs globally—bypassing traditional donation models that often get bogged down in token volatility.

While critics question the timing—selling during a market dip—supporters argue it demonstrates pragmatic financial stewardship in an industry known for speculative excess.

Because nothing says 'commitment to education' like immediately cashing out your donated assets—proving once again that in crypto, even philanthropy has an exit strategy.

GIGGLE rallies to $26M market cap

The GIGGLE token upgraded the model of using memes for fundraising. Previously, some charity tokens were launched with the understanding that they would be sold for profit, as Cryptopolitan reported.

Instead of relying on direct donations, GIGGLE levies a relatively high trading tax, which goes toward charity. All token trades incur a relatively high 5% fee, which built up $900K in donations within hours. GIGGLE retained its levels at around $0.23, though selling happened during the initial pump.

As a result, GIGGLE has not faced significant selling pressure, and has retained a market cap above $26.1M. Soon after the mention by Zhao, the unofficial token expanded from an initial market cap of $5M.

GIGGLE still saw some profit-taking, though at a relatively small scale compared to other charities that ended in a rug pull. The top whale realized $227.7K. 

Previously, tokens used for charity on either ethereum or BNB Chain had different fates. Vitalik Buterin has been known to sell the tokens on the open market and donate the proceeds. Zhao has burned some of the tokens sent to his wallet for exposure.  

GIGGLE remains a third-party meme

The GIGGLE ticker has not received direct endorsement or any plans of inclusion into Binance’s curated token ecosystem. For now, the project is a third-party meme, with potential related risks. 

The token does not show significant clustering or sniping of the supply, though some whales were quick to trade GIGGLE on PancakeSwap for short-term profits. The asset has just 3,821 holders. 

The Giggle Fund team seems to be engaged with the project, aiming to continue its activity and fund educational content. The fund also launched its own tracker, registering a total of $2.42M donated to Giggle Academy.

The Giggle Academy address holds all reported funds, including an additional long list of small-scale meme transfers for exposure, which are not key to the fundraising efforts.
