Vatican Mascot Sparks New Solana Token Rally
LUCE, a Solana-based cryptocurrency, experienced a 13% price increase on Tuesday after securing a futures listing on Bybit.
The token, trading above $0.23, now offers traders up to 12.5x leverage through Bybit’s Innovation Zone, a specialized section for high-risk, volatile assets.
Catholic Church Connection
The token’s name derives from the Italian word for “light” and shares its identity with the Catholic Church’s official mascot for the 2025 Jubilee celebration.
The Vatican introduced the Luce character on October 28, featuring distinctive blue hair, yellow raincoat, and orange cross necklace.
Rapid Market Growth
The cryptocurrency launched on Pump.fun immediately following the Vatican’s announcement.
The token gained popularity partially due to its visual similarities to the Milady Maker NFT collection.
Within 48 hours of launch, LUCE achieved an $80 million market capitalization.
Notable Trading Activity
The token maintains daily trading volumes above $100 million.
Bybit Integration Developments
LUCE entered Bybit’s ByVotes campaign, allowing token holders to vote on potential spot market listing between November 20-22.
Successful voting participants can share a reward pool of 1 million LUCE tokens, valued at approximately $250,000.
Market Performance
After 22 days of trading, LUCE ranks as the ninth-largest Pump.fun-created Solana token.
The token recorded a 47% increase over seven days and an 893% gain across two weeks.
