Solana meme coin Just a chill guy (CHILLGUY) price soared over 40% on Wednesday, defying the broader trend with backing from prominencies. Notably, as top crypto exchanges listed the meme coin and MrBeast lauded the meme behind it, a bullish wave swallowed the token. Simultaneously, with additional bullish on-chain metrics weighing in, the crypto has garnered significant interest among traders and investors in the market, as indicated by a roughly 25% surge in intraday trading volume.
CHILLGUY Gains Traction Amid Backing From Major Exchanges & MrBeast
The meme coin ‘Just a chill guy’ rides an optimistic wave against the backdrop of top crypto exchanges, such as Bybit and KuCoin, listing the token. In an official X post dated November 27, KuCoin revealed that it is listing the coin, with deposits now open. Simultaneously, trading for the token is to commence on the same day, with the trading pair CHILLGUY/USDT being added to the platform.
In addition, the crypto exchange Bybit revealed listing the same trading pair mentioned above, with withdrawals starting at 10 AM UTC today. The update also revealed that Spot Grid Bots services will be supported for the token on the platform.
Overall, these listings have ignited an optimistic torrent for the Solana meme coin, paving the path for further investor interaction with the asset. Further, it’s also noteworthy that the coin could see further listings as it continues to gain market popularity.
Notably, the renowned American personality MrBeast took to X on November 26, reiterating that Just a chill guy is the “Biggest meme of our lifetimes.” This statement has added fuel to the optimistic fire for the crypto amid its phenomenal price gains.
However, it’s also noteworthy that the American millionaire was recently accused of partaking in crypto pump-and-dump schemes. Nevertheless, CoinGape Media reported MrBeast to have denied the crypto scam allegations, sparking discussions globally while also adding intrigue to the meme token.
Altogether, the abovementioned events have pushed the Solana meme coin to emerge as the talk of the crypto town, with remarkable gains witnessed in CHILLGUY price whilst the coin continues to eye further bullish movements.
Solana Meme Coin’s Price Rockets
At the time of reporting, CHILLGUY price witnessed gains worth 40% intraday and is trading at $$0.622. Its 24-hour low and high were $0.4156 and $0.648, respectively. The coin’s trading volume witnessed a 23% surge from yesterday to $244.96 million. Moreover, the weekly chart for the crypto indicated gains worth 51%. This bullish trajectory has sparked substantial investor enthusiasm about the asset amid major backing.
Further, Lookonchain data on November 27 indicated that a trader ‘sbfonchain.sol’ sold massive amounts of WIF to buy $1 million of Just a chill guy coin. This data showed a heightened market interest in the asset while also bringing further buying pressure to the crypto.
Simultaneously, another trader, 9cSDZ, spent only $160 to buy 12.5 million CHILLGUY 12 days ago. To date, holding 9.62 million of the same token for a profit of $6.14 million, this trader has garnered further attention to the meme-themed coin. Overall, the abovementioned stats have solidified market optimism on the crypto’s long-term prospects.
However, it’s also worth noting that the crypto also faces risks due to legal action from Phillip Banks, the creator behind the original meme Just a chill guy. Notably, the meme creator expresses his unhappiness with his art usage in the crypto project, primarily for profit-making purposes.

Binance Lawsuit: A district court has granted the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) motion to file an omnibus brief in response to the lawsuit dismissal. The motion came in response to requests by Binance, Changpeng Zhao and Binance US to dismiss the amended complaint. The court’s decision on the dismissal of the complaint is still pending.
US SEC Can Extend the Briefing in Binance Lawsuit
The US SEC had requested permission to exceed the typical page limit under local rules, citing the complexity of the motions, which involve multiple legal arguments. Judge Amy Jackson approved the request, allowing the SEC to submit a combined response that will not exceed 70 pages. This extension grants the SEC additional space to address the legal points raised by both sets of defendants in the ongoing Binance lawsuit, per the district court filing.
The dismissal motions filed by Binance Holdings Limited, Changpeng Zhao, and BAM Trading Services Inc., currently stand null and void as of now. The defendants had filed separate motions to dismiss the SEC’s amended complaint in early November. Binance argued the overlapping of legal arguments across SEC’s collective 90-page submissions.
However, the SEC stated that it would consolidate all responses into a single document to promote judicial efficiency and avoid duplication across separate filings. While Local Rule 7(e) allows 45 pages per response brief, the SEC will now be able to provide a combined response following the court order.
The SEC’s response is due by December 4. Both Binance and BAM have indicated they do not oppose the SEC’s request. Last month, the U.S. District Court issued a scheduling order extending the Binance lawsuit to 2026.
BNB Coin Hitting Fresh All-Time High Soon?
While the rest of the crypto market has delivered a massive surge following the Donald Trump victory, Binance’s native BNB Coin hasn’t shown much movement due to the recent order in lawsuit. However, the BNB bulls are holding the line at the crucial support level of $600.
As of press time, the BNB price is 1.5% down at $620 with its market cap slipping under $90 billion. But BNB reversed the trajectory after retesting the support at $600 earlier today hinting the path ahead to a new all-time high.

If the current market trend persists, analysts expect BNB Coin (BNB) to rally 150% from here as reported by CoinGape. The BNB derivatives data shows that the open interest remains flat at $911 million while options trading volume surged 47% to $1.15 million. Also, in the recent pullback, the BNB long liquidations have surged past $2.16 million, per the Coinglass data.
