BNB Chain Memecoin Trader Makes $250K On CZ Dog Token

‍

BNB Chain memecoin trader, 0xC05, was up more than $1M on an initial investment of just 17 WBNB ($11.8K) on the BROWNIE memecoin. The BROWNIE token surged after Binance founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), teased that he would post a picture of his dog and its name, with many speculating on two specific memecoins, PERRY and BROWNIE, on BNB Chain.

This event is a clear example of narrative-driven trading. The market's movement was tied directly to speculation on an influential figure's social media activity, which had no bearing on the token's actual technology or fundamentals.

Although CZ’s dog’s name was eventually revealed to be Broccoli instead, resulting in the BROWNIE token to dump, this savvy trader had already been cashing out on the run up, netting him a total of $263K, or a 2,129% return on investment.

While Solana has been the center of memecoin attention for most of this cycle, CZ is pushing the spotlight to the Binance Smart Chain instead, after a token generated by Binance for a tutorial video, TST, went viral among memecoin traders. The TST token even climbed to a peak valuation of over $520M, after receiving a Binance spot listing.

The viral success of the TST token further illustrates this trend. It demonstrates that significant market activity and valuation can be generated on BNB Chain simply through proximity or association with Binance and its founder.
