Ban ($BAN) is a Solana-based meme coin inspired by art and innovation. Unlike most meme coins, $BAN originates from a viral banana-themed artwork dubbed Comedian. Designed by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, the Comedian art piece portrays a fresh banana duct taped to the wall. The banana-themed artwork became the most prized fruit in history since it sold for $120,000 in 2019 at the United States-based auction house Sotheby’s. Fast-forward to 2024, the same artwork has sold for as much as $6.2 million.

$BAN taps into this virality by touting itself as “the most significant meme of the art history.” It adds that it is the first among real-world asset (RWA) art-driven memecoins. Like the overpriced banana, the banana-themed meme coin embodies speculative hype with a blend of satire based on the “commodification of art and memes alike.”

This banana’s virality has rubbed off on $BAN’s market listing record. The Solana-based token has secured listings on prominent crypto exchanges like Binance, Bitget, Raydium, LBank, and Gate.io. These listings often play a role in boosting the token’s value long-term.

$BAN welcomes everyone to join the Ban community by owning the banana-themed meme token.
