Jiang Zhuoer: CZ and Binance are expected to drive the "coin-stock flywheel", and BNB is unlikely to fall below $5.76.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.com Pool, posted that BNCB, the bStock token corresponding to BNB Treasury Company (BNC), once dropped below $5, marking a rare high-profit certainty opportunity. The $5.76 level was the starting point of its rally after Binance founder CZ (Changpeng Zhao) retweeted BNC’s name change voting post, so a further dip below this is unlikely. At $5.76, mNAV stands at 61%; a further drop would mean buying BNB at a 50% discount. Thus, he considers $5.5 to $5.76 a good entry point. Additionally, he noted that using leverage to trade small-cap stocks carries high risk, so he recommends buying the bStock spot token BNCB. He believes CZ and Binance will push forward the "Crypto-Stock Flywheel" concept, with more related events expected to follow. Today, Binance founder CZ stated that he participated in BNC’s name change consultation vote as a community member. After weighing multiple candidate names, he found his choice aligned with other community members’ voting results. CZ expressed greater support for "BNB Standard", calling it a more impactful name. BNC had previously launched a consultative vote inviting the community to suggest names for the company, with candidates including BNB Reserve, BNB Strategies, BNB Treasury Company, and BNB Standard. BNC clarified that the vote does not constitute a shareholder vote, and the final name still requires board approval and legal review. Driven by this news, CEA Industries’ bStock (BNCB) has continued its rally, breaking above $6.5, with its 24-hour gain expanding to 33%.

CZ participated in the voting for BNC's renaming proposal, supporting "BNB Standard".

Binance founder CZ said he participated in the renaming poll for BNB Treasury Company (BNC) as a community member. After weighing multiple candidate names, he found his choice aligned with the overall community vote result. CZ noted that "BNB Treasure Company" abbreviates to BTC, which could cause confusion; "Strategy" evokes associations with MSTR; and the term "Reserve" feels overly conservative. By contrast, he favored "BNB Standard" more, calling it a more impactful name. BNC earlier launched an advisory vote inviting the community to suggest names for the company, with candidates including BNB Reserve, BNB Strategies, BNB Treasury Company, and BNB Standard. BNC stated that the poll does not constitute a shareholder vote, and the final name is still subject to board approval and legal review.

CZ Participates in BNC Renaming Proposal Voting, Supports 'BNB Standard'

Jiang Zhuoer: BNCB is equivalent to gaining BNB exposure at a discount, which may drive BNC to form a "crypto-stock flywheel"

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.TOP, posted that holdings of BNCB have risen again, reaching $17.28 million. In the comparative data he cited, this holding size exceeds related positions of Coinbase and MicroStrategy (MSTR), and is close to Tesla’s related holdings. He noted BNCB provides BNB exposure at approximately a 58% discount. BNC is the BNB Treasury controlled by Binance, while BNCB is Binance’s bStock token corresponding to BNC. He believes Binance launched BNCB to channel crypto market funds to the U.S.-listed BNC, forming a “crypto-stock flywheel” similar to MicroStrategy’s model. He pointed out that BNB’s current total market cap is around $94 billion, while BNC’s market cap stands at only about $220 million; if 1% of BNB’s buyer funds shift to BNC, it could erase the current discount. So far, crypto market funds have bought $17.28 million worth of BNCB and $5.29 million worth of BNC4, totaling $22.57 million, roughly 10% of BNC’s total market cap. BNC’s advantage over small-cap tokens is that its downside potential may be limited by asset discounts, which was his main rationale for earlier BNC purchases. He also stated he bought BNC at around $4.5 per unit.

Genius launches token issuance platform genius.fun on BNB Chain.

The on-chain trading terminal Genius Terminal, backed by YZi Labs and with CZ as an advisor, has officially launched its token issuance platform genius. fun on BNB Chain. The platform supports unbundling tokenized stocks, enabling users to pursue acquisitions of or board seat campaigns for real public companies. genius. fun allows issuers to customize trading pairs, including USDT/USDC, BNB, Ondo tokenized assets, bSTOCKS tokenized stocks, and Four.meme, with plans to integrate more asset types via gPerps in the future. Creators can earn up to 1.25% of trading fees from the tokens they issue, while an additional 0.25% is allocated for buybacks and token locking. Tokens are tracked on their launch page from the first transaction, with a "graduation threshold" set at 15 BNB; post-graduation, the DEX partner is PancakeSwap. The overall workflow involves creating tokens, selecting trading pairs, and officially launching them on the market.

Binance kicks off a "60-minute countdown" event: Users who participate and make it to 00:00 will receive a 30 BNB reward.

Binance has launched its "Starter Carnival" series of activities, with the first phase rolling out the Button Game. The game’s rules are straightforward: after a user clicks the button, a 60-minute countdown begins immediately. If no other user clicks again during this window, the countdown will reach zero, and the user will earn 30 BNB vouchers. Once another click is registered, the countdown resets to 60:00, and the game proceeds. The activity will only kick off after 50,000 users have registered. Each user starts with 3 click chances, which can be obtained through tasks including deposits, trades, and sharing. If no user manages to reach 00:00 on the countdown, the prize will go to the user whose countdown is closest to 00:00.

Jiang Zhuoer: Buying US-listed BNC with a 5% position is equivalent to purchasing BNB at a 50% discount.

Founder of BTC.TOP (B.TOP) Jiang Zhuoer posted that U.S. stock BNC has fallen to the $4.4 support level. He has opened a 5% test position at around $4.5 for a trial buy, expecting BNC could drop as low as its breakout point of $4. Currently, BNC’s mNAV is approximately 49%, holding BNB worth $400 million, while the company’s current market cap is less than $200 million — equivalent to acquiring BNB at a 50% discount. If the flywheel effect of BNC + Meme works, that would be an unexpected upside. According to BIT (bit.com) market data, BNC plunged 15.62% during U.S. regular trading hours, rebounded 2.71% after hours, and is now trading at $4.55. Separately, GMGN data shows the on-chain tokenized stock BNC4 on BSC is priced at $5.584, with a roughly 23% premium over its underlying common stock.

U.S.-listed BNC’s pre-market market value stands at $240 million, with its BNB holdings valued at approximately $390 million, far exceeding its market capitalization.

According to BIT (bit.com) market data, BNB Treasury Company BNC (CEA Industries), a U.S.-listed stock, saw its pre-market rally pull back to 70%, with its pre-market price now at $5.9 and current market capitalization around $240 million. Additionally, as of April 30, 2026, it disclosed holding 515,500 BNB, worth approximately $390 million. For a company with a market cap of roughly $240 million, its asset value far exceeds its valuation. Furthermore, from December 2025 to June 2026, a conflict erupted between YZi Labs, the company’s asset manager 10X Capital, and its board of directors. YZi accused the other parties of deviating from the BNB strategy, mismanagement, and conflicts of interest, and launched a consent solicitation, which was once dubbed by the public as a "coup to take over BNC’s board". On June 23 and 24, 2026, the two sides signed a cooperation agreement to formally end the proxy fight. Three new directors were appointed, including YZi partner Alex Odagiu who assumed the role of interim president, and YZi withdrew its consent solicitation. To onlookers, this was a "reconciliation".

Meme coin Stonks, a stock-themed meme token on BNB Chain, has surged over 70% in the past hour, lifting its market capitalization to $4 million.

According to GMGN market data, the meme coin Stonks on BNB Chain has rallied over 70% in the past hour, with its market cap bouncing back to $4 million and 24-hour trading volume hitting $9.5 million. The meme coin Stonks is inspired by BSC’s official trading event “BNB Stonks Szn” — “stonks” is also an American slang term meaning “stocks” — and is paired with the tokenized US stock QQQ (Invesco QQQ Trust, which tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index) on BSC, providing liquidity via the Stonks/QQQB trading pair. BlockBeats reminds users that related token prices are highly volatile, so investors should exercise caution.

According to news reports, a trader paid 40.8 BNB in node bribe fees and Gas fees to front-run the purchase of the token Hakimi, netting a profit of $378,000.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin Monitoring, a news-driven trader scooped up the Hakimi token within one second of Binance releasing its contract listing announcement. The trader paid a total of 40.8 BNB (≈$31,000) in node bribes and gas fees, then sold most of his position to net roughly $378,000 in profit. The announcement was published at 13:55:12; within that same second, the trader paid 35.3 BNB (≈$26,800) in bribes to the BNB48 Club node, used a private RPC channel to buy 9.89 million Hakimi tokens for 264.7 BNB (≈$200,000) at an average price of ~$0.02 per token, plus an extra 5.5 BNB (≈$4,200) in gas fees. After other traders piled in to drive up the token’s price, the news-driven trader sold most of his position in batches at an average of ~$0.058 per token.

A crypto trader reported in the news paid 5.5 BNB in gas fees to purchase the "Hakimi" token, netting a profit of $350,000.

According to Lookonchain’s monitoring, a news trader using wallet address 0xb319 earned an additional $350,000 by capitalizing on news that Binance would list the "Hakimi" contract. After Binance’s announcement, the trader promptly paid 5.5 BNB (≈$4,200) in gas fees to purchase 9.9 million Hakimi tokens at a cost of 264.7 BNB (≈$202,000). The trader subsequently sold 8.39 million Hakimi tokens for $459,000, and currently holds 1.5 million Hakimi tokens valued at approximately $93,300, resulting in a net profit of $350,000 from this trade. To date, the trader’s cumulative gains from news trading have reached $1.78 million.

BNB Chain's Director of Growth: Lowering gas fees is no longer the industry's top priority; public blockchains need to find sustainable business models.

BNB Chain’s Executive Director of Growth Nina Rong stated that regarding the debate between Arbitrum founder Steven Goldfeder and Solana co-founder Toly over Robinhood Chain’s fee model, she wants to underscore one key point: further reducing gas fees is no longer the top priority for the blockchain industry. The real priority for all public chains today is to develop a sustainable business model and reinvest proceeds into technology and growth. This model could take the form of gas fees, revenue sharing, or other commercial partnerships. Over the past five years, blockchain foundations have largely been associated with two core activities: issuing grants and making investments, as well as cutting gas fees. To sustain the industry for another five years, blockchain companies must have robust business structures.

The crypto market has seen a minor rebound, with Bitcoin breaking through $80,000, Ethereum surpassing $2,500, and BNB rallying sharply to cross $780.

According to HTX market data, the crypto market saw a minor rebound on Sunday, pushing total crypto market capitalization to $2.781 trillion. Bitcoin broke above $80,000, while Ethereum crossed $2,500. Driven by robust trading activity in the BNB Chain ecosystem, BNB surged past $780 and is now trading at $764. SOL is priced at $104, HYPE at $85.8, and ZEC performed strongly, rising over 5% to hit $1,070. Leading altcoin gainers include ARB, which topped the list with a 48.8% single-day rally to trade at $0.197; SUSHI, up over 40% in 24 hours to break $0.267; and several BNB Chain ecosystem tokens such as MARSCOIN, 1000CAT, TUT, and CAKE, which also ranked among the top gainers amid the ecosystem’s hot trading activity.

Bonk Guy: It’s the golden season for BNB Chain, and this round belongs to Robinhood and BNB Chain.

Prominent crypto trader Bonk Guy says this cycle belongs to Robinhood and BNB Chain, loudly declaring that BNB Chain is now in its golden season, urging people not to ignore this narrative. Bonk Guy looked back at his previous trading calls: several weeks ago, he repeatedly stated that the "Robinhood season" was approaching, but many dismissed his view at the time. The meme coin rally has since almost perfectly matched his expectations, with PONS surging from a $4 million market cap when he first called it to $990 million, CASHCAT hitting $270 million, AI (token) reaching $280 million, and numerous other tokens boasting market caps in the tens of millions. Bonk Guy believes MARSCOIN has fired the starting gun for the meme coin narrative in the BNB Chain ecosystem, is now the clear leader, and will continue to pull far ahead of peers. Bonk Guy also emphasized that when BNB Chain’s trading activity really heats up, it will do so with extreme momentum and speed, warning against chasing gains after tokens have already surged 10x. The core reason is that Binance is the world’s largest centralized exchange (CEX), boasting 320 million users. MARSCOIN is now listed on Binance’s spot and derivatives markets, making it much easier for Western users to buy BNB Chain meme coins, with far better accessibility than in previous cycles. In the last cycle, SAFEMOON surged to a $17 billion market cap on BNB Chain, proving that BNB Chain meme coins have enormous upside potential once they catch fire. There won’t be just one winner—many tokens will rally alongside the leading ones, and the BNB season will be extremely explosive once it truly kicks off. Finally, Bonk Guy advises that people start monitoring and positioning now, stressing that it’s better to enter early than to chase after already surging prices.

BNB’s sharp rally drove a broad surge in its ecosystem meme coins, with Binance Life jumping more than 17% in the past 24 hours.

BNB Chain has launched the $4 million "BNB Stonks Szn" campaign, and Bonk Guy is likely to be its biggest beneficiary.

BNB Chain has announced the launch of its multi-week meme trading season "BNB Stonks Szn," with a total prize pool of $4 million. From September 4 to 12, eligible meme tokens paired with bStocks will compete for rankings on the meme leaderboard. The prize pool will be distributed weekly and increase incrementally each week. The first week’s prize pool stands at $400,000, allocated based on the HODLer Index (Diamond Hand Index), with the top three meme token holder communities unlocking airdrops. The index is calculated based on holding size and duration, with data tracked starting July 27, 2026; selling midstream will reduce scores. Eligibility requires individual meme token holdings of at least $100. The first week’s results and airdrop amounts will be announced by BNB Chain’s official X account at 15:00 UTC on September 11, with rewards sent directly to eligible wallets in BNB. Notably, MarsCoin is currently the largest market cap meme token paired with bStocks on BNB Chain, and on-chain data shows crypto KOL Bonk Guy is its largest individual holder.

BonkGuy noted that BNB Chain meme coin MarsCoin has surpassed $110 million in market capitalization, hitting a new all-time high.

Trader BonkGuy (Unipcs) stated in a post that MARSCOIN reminds him of SAFEMOON on BNB Chain in 2021, which once hit a market capitalization of around $17 billion. BonkGuy noted that MARSCOIN boasts a stronger narrative, integrating multiple hot concepts including Elon Musk, CZ, Mars, and SpaceX, making it one of the key assets in the BNB Chain meme coin segment. Fueled by growing market attention, GMGN data shows that the market cap of MarsCoin, a meme coin in the BNB Chain ecosystem, has surpassed $110 million, currently standing at $105 million, with a 24-hour gain of 41.7%.

BlockBeats previously reported that KOL Bonk Guy stated in a social media post that the recent market performance on Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain over the past few weeks may only be a "warm-up", adding that similar trends typically emerge at the start of a new bull market or before the market enters a genuine acceleration phase. He predicted that the actual rally may begin in the fourth quarter, noting that recent gains will likely only account for a small portion of the overall trend.

Crypto KOL Unipcs has called on the community to "prepare for the BNB boom", and his account was followed by He Yi two hours ago.

Crypto KOL Unipcs took to X to announce, “You’re not ready for the BNB boom—just as I predicted the Robinhood boom weeks ago, the BNB boom is coming.” Notably, Binance co-founder Yi He followed Unipcs on X earlier this morning.

Trader Bonk Guy: Robinhood and BNB Chain’s recent market performance is just a warm-up, and the real bull market may begin in Q4.

Trader Bonk Guy posted that the recent price action on Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain over the past several weeks may only be a "warm-up", pointing out that similar trends usually emerge at the start of a new bull market or before the market enters a real acceleration phase. He expects the actual rally to begin in the fourth quarter, with recent gains likely being just a small segment of the overall trend. Many investors, remaining overly defensive after the bear market, have missed recent opportunities. Trading habits that shielded investors during the bear market can also cap returns in a bull market; the key is to timely recognize when the market environment has changed and adjust one’s analytical framework accordingly. He also noted that future market moves will still feature pullbacks, but in a genuine bull market, these dips are often chances to accumulate high-conviction assets. More important than predicting every short-term fluctuation is judging the market direction, positioning in advance, and giving one’s investment logic sufficient time to materialize.

BounceBit Chain Releases Update on Vulnerability Attack Progress: Will Permanently Halt the Chain and Migrate to BNB Chain

Cross-chain yield protocol BounceBit has released a security incident notice, stating its blockchain network suffered a protocol-level vulnerability attack from 21:02 UTC on August 19 to 01:54 UTC on August 20. Attackers exploited an authorization flaw in Evmos’ underlying architecture to transfer BB tokens from 9 mainnet accounts without account owners’ authorization. Per the notice, the attackers moved approximately 286.5 million BB via 14 transactions. The incident is limited to BounceBit Chain itself, with no involvement of private key leaks, signature forgery, wallet, hardware device, or exchange account security issues. BounceBit’s CeDeFi Strategy, Promo Vaults, Prime, and RWA products were all unaffected. BounceBit noted the vulnerability stemmed from an authorization validation flaw in Evmos’ protocol-native module. When the attacker called the relevant module via a smart contract, they bypassed the security check that should verify the fund source account’s authorization, allowing them to designate any account as the fund source. After the incident, BounceBit Chain stopped block production at block height 20,702,857. The team decided not to perform a chain upgrade, instead permanently shutting down BounceBit Chain and reissuing BB as a BNB Chain-based BEP-20 token. The new BB supply will be based on an on-chain snapshot taken before the first abnormal transfer (block height 20,697,260). The 286,543,148 BB tokens transferred by attackers will not be included in new balances. Users do not need to submit applications or migrate wallets; the official will automatically distribute new BB to corresponding BNB Chain addresses.

Bithumb will suspend deposits and withdrawals of 28 BNB Chain assets on August 25, with the network upgrade expected to be completed at 11:30.

The impacted assets include BNB, ASTER, CAKE, FLOKI, PUMPBTC, SFP, SOLV, USD1, XVS, C98, EDU, GMT, HOOK, LISTA, and others, with the suspension limited exclusively to the BNB Smart Chain network. Bithumb expects to complete the node server update by 11:30 AM KST on August 25, though the exact time may change due to network conditions and block generation speed. The platform will issue a separate announcement to resume deposits and withdrawals once the network stabilizes. The announcement emphasized that trading of the affected assets will remain normal during the suspension, but users should note that significant price fluctuations may occur in the period.

Binance founder CZ stated at Binance Square that many people are overinterpreting the meaning behind his actions. Today, while testing Trust Wallet, he found so many meme tokens in the wallet that it was difficult to even locate BNB. He then attempted to burn some of the tokens, a move that sparked extensive community discussion. CZ noted he realized he could never fully "clean up" all meme coins from that address: the more he burns, the more people will send coins to it. The transparent nature of blockchain means any activity on this address will be overinterpreted by the community. He even considered requesting the Trust Wallet team to add an "Ignore Coin" feature to prevent interface clutter, but pointed out that 99.99% of users would never use such a function. His plan is to donate BNB and the "Binance Life" tokens purchased with BNB to Giggle Academy, then cease using this address and leave it as a burn address.

Microsoft: Discovers new attack campaign hiding malicious code via BNB Chain smart contracts, affecting thousands of devices globally.

Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Team has released a report disclosing a set of compromised websites that use ClickFix and TerminalFix to launch social engineering attacks, combined with EtherHiding technology, to access smart contracts via the BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway for retrieving subsequent malicious commands. Since the malicious content is stored in on-chain smart contracts, only the wallet owner that deployed the contract can modify it, making it hard to eliminate through traditional takedown or blocking measures. Attackers forge CAPTCHA verification pages to trick users into opening Windows’ Run window, Terminal, or PowerShell, then pasting and executing malicious commands. The attack workflow extensively leverages system tools including conhost, PowerShell, mshta, rundll32, curl, WMI, and WebDAV for obfuscation and Living-off-the-Land (LotL) attacks. Microsoft points out that ClickFix and TerminalFix have emerged as high-frequency initial intrusion vectors, impacting thousands of enterprise and personal devices worldwide daily. Multiple threat actors use these tactics to spread malware such as Lumma Stealer, Xworm, AsyncRAT, and MintsLoader, which can further lead to credential theft, lateral movement, and ransomware attacks. The tech giant advises users against following prompts from CAPTCHAs, web error pages, emails, or ads to paste and execute any commands in Windows Run, Terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt.
