Chinese Meme Tokens Rally Across BNB Chain Ecosystem Amid CZ’s Millionaire-Making Push

BNB Chain has rapidly become a leading hub for memecoins, now accounting for 11.4% of global memecoin activity, nearly matching Ethereum’s 12%, while Solana’s dominance wanes.

Newly launched “Chinese”-themed tokens like 币安人生 (“Binance Life”), 客户小何 (“Customer Xiaohe”), and 空气币 (“Air Coin”) have surged thousands of percent within hours, driving daily trading volumes into the tens of millions. According to Bubblemaps, over 100,000 new traders have entered the BNB memecoin wave in the past 48 hours, with 70% currently sitting on paper profits. A select group of whales has minted fortunes almost overnight, with 40 wallets reporting gains above $1 million, including one surpassing $10 million.

Several of these tokens leverage Binance and CZ branding, including 4ever, inspired by Zhao’s “ignore FUD” meme, and Broccoli-themed spin-offs. Every post or reaction by Zhao on X fuels speculation, creating a self-reinforcing loop: rising BNB prices fund meme trades, which in turn drive volumes, fees, and visibility back to the chain. The top ten new BNB memecoins generated over $82 million in trading volume in the last 24 hours, per DEXTools.

Despite the surge, older BNB memecoins like BROCCOLI and MUBARAK remain more than 90% below their all-time highs, underscoring the sector’s volatility. Meanwhile, BNB itself has climbed past $1,200, outperforming BTC, ETH, and even surpassing XRP to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

The combination of whale accumulation, retail participation, and CZ-linked branding solidifies BNB Chain’s role in the evolving memecoin landscape, though rapid price swings continue to define the market.
