The meme coin world is heating up once again — and this time, the spark is coming straight from the pen of legendary artist Matt Furie.
With Furie’s new book Cortex Vortex making waves across both the art and crypto communities, a fresh wave of meme tokens is surging in response to his latest cast of characters. The book was recently teased on Instagram by Furie’s editor (beuys_on_sale), sending speculators into a frenzy trying to identify the mysterious new creatures from the few cryptic visuals.
So far, two characters have been officially confirmed — and their corresponding tokens have seen wild success:
- Strawberry, the cheerful pink figure, hit $10M+ market cap
- RATO, the sinister rodent speculated as the book’s villain, shot past $36M+ market cap
But now, a third contender has entered the ring with something the others don’t have: on-chain proof of identity.
GASSPAS the Cat – The Confirmed Nemesis of RATO
Meet GASSPAS, a mysterious feline character confirmed to be featured in Cortex Vortex. Unlike the wave of tokens riding on speculation and vague visual guesses, GASSPAS is directly referenced in Matt Furie’s previous art collection, ZOGZ, making it the only other verified character name from the upcoming release.
In Cortex Vortex, GASSPAS is positioned as a central character, likely the chaotic counterpart or nemesis to RATO. The cat has already become a subject of buzz on social media, particularly among collectors and early investors in meme tokens tied to the Furieverse.
Is GASSPAS the Next Meme Coin to Explode?
With just two confirmed characters already producing tens of millions in market cap, the case for $GASS (GASSPAS’s official token) is compelling. While dozens of tokens try to guess which character is which, $GASS is rooted in verified lore, not just speculation.
The GASSPAS token is already live, and its community channels are growing rapidly:
