Traders turn thousands into millions as BNB Chain emerges as the new hub of onchain speculation
In a remarkable display of onchain trading momentum, several traders on the BNB Chain have turned modest investments into life-changing fortunes within days, as a wave of new memecoins swept across decentralized exchanges this week.
One trader, identified as “0xd0a2,” reportedly transformed $3,500 into $7.9 million — a staggering 2,260-fold return in just three days, according to blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain. Another investor, “hexiecs,” turned $360,000 into $5.5 million by betting early on the newly launched “4” token, which went parabolic after a viral post from Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao.

“BNB Chain has become the heartbeat of onchain trading — we’re witnessing a community-led revival,” said Marwan Kawadri, DeFi lead and head of EMEA at BNB Chain. “This isn’t just speculation; it’s proof that traders see real opportunity in the network’s liquidity and speed.”
Interestingly, after the hacker dumped ALL his tokens for a $4k gain, the community took over and bought the meme coin higher, as a mock to the hacker. Funniest come back by the community! 💪 https://t.co/rVYK1NROk7
The “BNB meme szn”, as Zhao dubbed it, began after a lighthearted reaction to a phishing attack that originally netted a hacker just $4,000. The community transformed the event into a meme, launching the “4” token — which quickly became a viral success across social media and decentralized markets.
Blockchain data shows that traders netted multi-million-dollar profits within hours of Zhao’s post on Oct. 1, which reached his 8.9 million followers on X (formerly Twitter). The chain reaction drew in thousands of new participants, amplifying liquidity and trading volume across BNB Chain DEXs.
“BNB Chain has always been strong in DeFi, but it’s now the fastest-growing ecosystem for onchain traders,” Kawadri added.
Data Shows a Surge in Smart Money Flows
According to blockchain intelligence platform Nansen, the top three assets purchased by “smart money” traders were all BNB-native tokens during the 24-hour trading window. Meanwhile, Bubblemaps data revealed that over 100,000 addresses participated in these memecoin trades — with 70% of traders in profit at one point.
Out of these, one address made over $10 million, while 40 traders earned more than $1 million each. Nearly 900 wallets saw profits above $100,000, reflecting the largest short-term gain wave BNB Chain has witnessed in 2025.
High Rewards Come with High Risk
While the profits appear staggering, memecoins remain among the riskiest crypto assets, driven almost entirely by social sentiment and viral trends rather than underlying fundamentals. Still, this week’s frenzy underscores a growing belief among traders that BNB Chain is becoming the next major battleground for onchain speculation.
As one trader put it on X: “BNB Chain is where new millionaires are minted overnight — if you’re early, you win.”
