The Toshi memecoin, inspired by the name of Coinbase co-founder Brian Armstrong's cat, experienced a significant surge upon being added to the listing roadmap of the leading US cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase. Developed on Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution, Toshi witnessed a sharp increase in its value, reflecting growing investor interest.

Prior to the listing news, Toshi reached a low of $0.00001161, rapidly climbing to a high of $0.0003679, marking a 216% increase. The memecoin's value has since adjusted, with the current trading price at $0.0002953.

At present, Toshi ranks as the 507th largest crypto project by market capitalization, totaling $126.5 million. Coinbase's listing roadmap serves as a measure for transparency, helping prevent insider trading activities before assets are officially listed. Inclusion on this roadmap suggests future availability for trading.

The Toshi project highlights that the memecoin is named not only after Armstrong's cat but also after Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. It aims to represent "the face and mascot of Base," striving to establish itself as a key player in the expanding Base ecosystem.

With a solid meme-driven culture and a growing community, Toshi aims to become the leading memecoin on Base, attracting a broad audience and offering significant utility. Only time will tell if this can become true.
