Synopsis– A fresh wave of excitement has hit the crypto market, as traders on the BNB Chain turn small sums into millions overnight. Over the past week, newly launched memecoins have skyrocketed, minting a surprising number of new millionaires and drawing fresh attention to the blockchain.
One trader, known by the wallet address “0xd0a2,” turned an initial investment of $3,500 into $7.9 million in just three days a 2,260-fold gain, according to blockchain tracker Lookonchain. Another investor, “hexiecs,” made over $5.5 million from a $360,000 investment in the viral “4” token.
These eye-popping profits came after Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) reshared a post about the token to his 8.9 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), fueling a wave of new buyers and record-breaking onchain activity.
The Rise of the “4” Token
The “4” token, now the centerpiece of this frenzy, has an unexpected origin. It was born after a phishing attack on the BNB Chain, where the hacker made just $4,000 before the community turned the event into a meme. That meme quickly evolved into one of the most explosive memecoins of the year.
Trader “0x872” reportedly earned $2 million in hours from a mere $3,000 investment, securing a 650-fold return following CZ’s viral post. Another speculator, “brc20niubi,” saw a 1,200x return, turning $730,000 into $5.4 million.
While these stories sound unbelievable, they reflect a genuine surge in trading volume and onchain participation on the BNB Chain often referred to as “BNB meme szn” by Zhao himself.
BNB Chain Becomes the New Trading Hub
The frenzy has sparked a new wave of confidence in BNB Chain’s trading ecosystem. According to Marwan Kawadri, DeFi lead and head of EMEA at BNB Chain, the network is now “becoming the heartbeat of onchain trading.”
He explained that BNB Chain’s low fees, fast transaction speeds, and strong DeFi base make it an ideal hub for traders chasing quick profits. Kawadri added, “What you’re seeing with ‘BNB meme szn’ is the market waking up to the fact that BNB Chain has become the leading ecosystem for trading.”
Data from blockchain intelligence platform Nansen supports this claim. The three most purchased cryptocurrencies by top ‘smart money’ traders were all BNB-native tokens, showing where the most experienced investors are placing their bets.
Risks Rise Alongside Rewards
However, not everything glitters in the world of memecoins. Despite the success stories, experts warn that memecoins remain some of the riskiest assets in the market. These tokens lack intrinsic value and depend entirely on social media buzz and trading hype to sustain their prices.
Still, the numbers are staggering. Data from Bubblemaps shows that more than 100,000 traders bought into the new BNB memecoins in recent days. Of those, 70% were in profit, with one trader making over $10 million, 40 making more than $1 million, and 900 earning over $100,000.
While risks remain high, the recent memecoin surge has undeniably revived excitement in the crypto market. For new investors entering the space, BNB Chain’s rapid rise shows how quickly fortunes can be made or lost in the fast-paced world of blockchain trading.
