BNB (BNB) — Onchain News & Whale Tracking

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%.

After 'Bonk Guy' hyped assets in the BNB ecosystem, MarsCoin and FLORK both hit all-time highs.

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 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.

CZ announced that he will disable public addresses to prevent his operations from being overinterpreted by the community, noting that BNB and "Binance Life" will be donated to Giggle Academy.

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.

BNB Chain: Former Employee Unauthorized to Issue New Meme Tokens via Original Official Test Wallet, Legal Action Taken

BNB Chain released an official statement saying a wallet address was previously created by a former employee, who used it to issue a meme token named TST as part of video tutorials. The employee is no longer with the company. After leaving his position, he retained unauthorized access to the associated seed phrase and used it to generate new private keys. BNB Chain has now learned that the same address is being independently used for activities related to a new meme token, ASTEROID, on BNB Chain. BNB Chain did not create, authorize, promote or participate in the issuance of this token, nor does it have any control over the token or the wallet address. These matters are unrelated to BNB Chain and have not been endorsed by the platform. BNB Chain is taking legal action against the former employee and cooperating with relevant government agencies regarding the incident. Earlier reports noted that the BSC ecosystem meme token ASTEROID hit a $10 million market cap in just four hours after its launch.

The spot trading bot services for these pairs will also be terminated simultaneously. Users are advised to update or cancel relevant settings in advance. The delisting of these spot trading pairs does not affect the availability of the corresponding tokens on the spot market, and users can still trade the related tokens via other trading pairs.

Security Warning: Abnormal on-chain fund flows detected for the CodexField project on BNB Chain.

On-chain investigator Specter has issued a community security alert, warning of potential fund misappropriation risks associated with the CodexField project on BNB Chain. On-chain tracking shows the project has amassed over $85 million in funds. Specter detected abnormal on-chain fund flows yesterday: a wallet bridged 17.3 million USDT from TRON to Ethereum, then swapped the tokens for DAI via Bitget Swap on Polygon. So far, $6.5 million has been transferred out, while the remaining $10.8 million is still in transit. The funds were originally bridged from Ethereum to TRON roughly six months ago, and the source wallet is linked to CodexField’s deposit contract. Below are key addresses for users to verify on their own: EVM: 0xBc606358910b3720d136F0d4Ce12b759C270747a TRON: TQNTEYadFVVQeobBtctSjurJ5RpfBsTmqh, TAzpg8L1WkkzCxxZk8TYnvaRYahehh52MK Related deposit contract: 0x9E6A75b546B65E7B9D34E2c9aB8Fe224B9aA52AA Additional red flags: The project requires a minimum $100 deposit for participation. Blockchain security tool Blocksec MetaSuites initially labeled the deposit contract as "Fake CodexField", but Specter’s follow-up investigation found the contract is actually operated by the CodexField team itself. The project uses multiple domains and subdomains to collect user deposits, and the team previously shared these domains via official channels. Its fund flow pattern is unusual, deviating from standard fund management practices: the project bridges funds across multiple blockchains, routes them through intermediate wallets, and ultimately sends assets to centralized exchanges. Specter noted that based on on-chain activity, the project warrants high vigilance. It advises all users interacting with CodexField to exercise extreme caution until the team provides a transparent explanation of its fund movements.

He revealed the BNB Chain is currently being upgraded to its next major version, with plans to make it faster, cheaper, and enhanced with stronger privacy controls. For blockchain developers, CZ offered a key piece of advice: avoid launching large, system-altering upgrades during bull markets; instead, target significant updates during quieter bear market periods. On real-world assets (RWAs), CZ admitted he was skeptical of their viability a year to 18 months ago, questioning whether they’d ever gain meaningful trading traction or

VanEck Launches First BNB Spot ETF in the United States: VBNB

May 28: U.S. asset management firm VanEck officially launched the VanEck BNB Spot ETF (ticker: VBNB) this Thursday, marking the first U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund (ETF) to offer direct spot exposure to BNB. The fund is backed by physical BNB held in cold storage at Anchorage Digital Bank, charges an annual management fee of 0.39%, and does not yet support staking services. In a statement, VanEck noted that BNB is one of the few major cryptocurrencies that still lacks a dedicated U.S. spot exchange-traded product (ETP). This new ETF provides U.S. investors with a regulated channel to access this highly active digital asset through a standard exchange platform.

Pump Fun App Upgrade: Introducing Cross-Chain Frictionless Trading, Supporting Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and More

Pump.fun announced a major platform upgrade on May 26, officially launching its frictionless cross-chain trading feature. Users can now trade assets across multiple EVM-compatible chains—including Ethereum, Avalanche, and BNB Chain—directly within the app. The update is built to deliver a unified "one wallet, one asset, multi-chain trading" experience, aiming to cut down on the complexity of cross-chain operations. Key to the new functionality: users transact with a single wallet, no cross-chain bridging required, and they don’t need to hold native gas tokens for individual chains. Pump.fun leverages Solana as its settlement and gas subsidy medium for this system, which also auto-generates multi-chain wallets to let users seamlessly access transactions for various EVM ecosystem assets. Per the official announcement, this update will make it far easier for users to capitalize on cross-chain market opportunities.

Pendle Launches apxUSD on BNB Chain, Offering a 13% Fixed Interest Rate for STRC

On May 26, DeFi yield protocol Pendle Finance announced that synthetic dollar asset apxUSD (maturing November 2026) from Apyx Finance has officially been integrated into BNB Chain. Users can now access a fixed-income strategy built on STRC via Pendle, with the current fixed APY hitting 13%. Issued by Apyx and collateralized by preferred equity from Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), apxUSD currently comprises Strive’s SATA and Strategy’s STRC. While apxUSD itself doesn’t generate yield, it can be split into principal tokens (PT) and yield tokens (YT) on Pendle. Pendle notes that YT holders gain access to higher-leverage exposure to Apyx, while PT delivers a fixed return above STRC’s dividend yield. Liquidity providers (LPs), meanwhile, earn both protocol revenue and points-based incentives simultaneously.

BNB Chain's decentralized AI API routing protocol BNBRouter is officially launched

May 25th — According to official announcements, BNBRouter, a decentralized AI API routing protocol built on BNB Chain, has officially launched. It supports unified access to over 36 mainstream AI models, including OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, and Groq, via an OpenAI-format-compatible unified API. Developers can leverage this tool for intelligent routing and automatic failover across multiple model services. Users can top up their API credits using a combination of BNB and BNBR payments, with the BNBR portion automatically burned through on-chain smart contracts. This mechanism forms an on-chain economic model tied directly to AI usage: as AI invocations increase, BNBR undergoes continuous deflation. Additionally, BNBRouter integrates the x402 payment protocol and supports various open-source frameworks, enabling AI Agents to autonomously complete payments, inference calls, and on-chain interactions — further advancing the implementation of Machine-to-Machine AI Economy scenarios.

Iran-Related Crypto Fund Flow Sparks Compliance Controversy, Tron and BNB Chain Involved in Political and Sanction Risk Discussion

May 18th – Financial analyst Abdelaziz Fathi reported that Nobitex, Iran’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has processed roughly $2.3 billion in funds via the Tron and BNB Chain networks since 2023, with most of this activity centered on stablecoin transactions and cross-chain transfers. Per the analysis, Tron network traffic alone has exceeded $2 billion, while BNB Chain accounts for approximately $317 million. Small-scale transfers have persisted even amid recent regional conflicts, and some of these fund flows are linked to sanctioned entities—sparkling concerns over public blockchains’ potential role in cross-border payments and sanction circumvention. The report adds that the infrastructure ecosystem behind these networks is indirectly connected to several cryptocurrency firms, amplifying the issue’s political sensitivity. While both Tron and BNB Chain position themselves as “decentralized infrastructure networks” that do not directly control transactions, their on-chain tr
