Key Takeaways CALICOIN, a Solana-based meme token, reached a $30 million market cap within hours of its launch. The token was created by Nathan Copeland, a brain-computer interface pioneer with notable achievements in digital art and BCI research. CaliCoin (CALICOIN), a new Solana-based meme token created by a brain-computer interface pioneer, achieved $30 million market capitalization within two hours of its launch, according to data from GeckoTerminal. CaliCoin was created by Nathan Copeland, who has been living with quadriplegia following a car accident in 2004. The life-changing event led him to become involved in brain-computer interface (BCI) research. The 38-year-old creator of CALICOIN has the longest history of BCI implantation, a decade, at the University of Pittsburgh, Copeland shared on the project’s official website. He has four micro-electrode arrays implanted in his brain that enable him to control a robotic arm and receive sensory feedback. Copeland said he has leveraged BCI technology to perform various computer tasks, including digital art creation and playing video games like Pac Man and Sonic the Hedgehog. He has expanded his digital art pursuits, creating and selling NFT artwork. In a statement last July, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said he was gifted artwork made by Copeland using his BCI. This demonstrated a groundbreaking achievement that opens up possibilities for people with disabilities to interact with the world in new ways.
