Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder and former CEO of Binance, commented on the recent memecoin rallies in crypto markets, describing the sudden surges on BNB Chain as an “unexpected memecoin season.”
CZ: “We Are Experiencing a True Memecoin Season on BNB Chain”
“There’s been incredible memecoin movement on BNB Chain recently. This is truly a BNB memecoin season.”
His remarks coincided with a period of significant volume growth on BNB-based decentralized exchanges, such as Aster DEX. Given CZ’s past involvement with the ASTER token and the broader BNB ecosystem, investors interpret his comments as a signal highlighting the overall momentum and activity within the ecosystem.

“4” Memecoin: A Phenomenon Born from CZ’s Legacy
One of the most notable tokens on BNB Chain recently is the memecoin “4 (Four)”. Despite not being listed on any major centralized exchange, the token surged 475% in the past week, reaching a market capitalization of $245 million.
The “4” symbol has long been associated with Changpeng Zhao (CZ) in the crypto community. In the past, CZ frequently shared “four key points” for investors to watch in the crypto market, labeling the list simply as “4.”
As a result, the “4” token is widely interpreted as a nod to CZ’s earlier guidance, a symbolic connection that has captured investor attention and helped the token go viral on social media in a very short time.

Liquidity Surge in the BNB Ecosystem
The recent memecoin activity on BNB Chain is not limited to “4”. In the past weeks, tokens like Giggle (GIGGLE), BENBNB, Aster, and several new projects have experienced short but sharp price spikes. Platforms such as Aster DEX have provided early access and liquidity, significantly boosting trading volumes on BNB Chain.
Analysts note that CZ’s “memecoin season” statement has likely indirectly contributed to this momentum.
Memecoin Frenzy: Opportunity or Risk?
While such rapid surges attract short-term investor attention, experts emphasize that memecoins are highly speculative by nature. Most of these tokens lack any real project fundamentals, and their price movements are largely driven by community interest or social media hype.
CZ himself has previously warned that caution is needed with memecoin investments. Experienced traders often note that in these types of projects, “early exit” is usually the only way to survive the volatility.
