Solana Meme Coin Gigachad Spikes After Model Endorsement

The Solana meme coin Gigachad (GIGA) experienced a 21.2% increase in value after the model behind the meme, Ernest Khalimov, endorsed the project on Instagram.

The GIGA team believes that their association with the sports brand Giga Fitness has allowed them to attract endorsements from fitness celebrities without direct involvement in crypto.
