How much is a meme worth? This game is not as simple as you think.
What is the most magical part of the crypto world?
The answer may drive traditional finance people crazy: a meme, a joke, or even a meaningless catchphrase can roll out a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars in just a few days. No business plan, no technological innovation, not even a decent official website is needed.
In October 2025, this magical reality will be replayed on the BSC chain. But this time it’s different—not just a simple grassroots celebration, but a wonderful collision between top-level power and community enthusiasm. When a co-founder of a leading exchange casually utters a Chinese blessing, when the platform's founder starts frequent interactions, and when the official launches a dedicated Meme issuance tool, behind this seemingly chaotic farce lies a set of intricate power game rules.
This is not another mindless hype, but a textbook-level capital experiment.
Everything starts with a Chinese sentence
The beginning of the story is surprisingly simple.
On October 4th, a co-founder of a leading platform replied to a comment in Chinese on social media: “Wishing you to drive an XX car, live in an XX community, and enjoy an XX life with your BNB.” This teasing blessing hit the right note in the Chinese community.
The reaction speed is shockingly fast. Almost instantly, a Meme coin called “XX Life” appeared. What community players see is not just a meme; they see a clear roadmap to wealth creation.
There is a “listing ladder” template circulating in the community: Community warming up → Founder interaction → Landing on Alpha platform → Launching Aster → Opening contracts → Final spot listing. This path is regarded as a bible by countless people, and that Chinese blessing is seen as the first step onto the ladder.
The real explosion comes from signals at a higher level. On October 6, the platform's founder CZ replied to a tweet about “XX Life,” and the community directly interpreted this as “dual innovation endorsement,” leading to uncontrolled FOMO sentiment. On October 7, this coin really landed on the Alpha platform. This completely proves that: the path to listing is not just empty promises, it can actually be realized.
The most crucial turning point occurred on October 8th—CZ publicly stated that “BNB meme szn” (BNB Meme season) has arrived. This clear signal from the top has spread the frenzy from a single project to the entire BSC ecosystem.
On-chain data doesn’t lie. According to DeFiLlama statistics, the daily trading volume of BNB chain DEX has soared to $6.05 billion, with over 100,000 new players flooding in. The data from the on-chain analysis platform Bubblemaps is even more exaggerated: nearly 70% of early participants have made a profit. This high profitability rate has created a terrifying positive feedback loop—more and more people believe “this time it's really different”.
Stars on the Stage
To understand the essence of this wave of BSC Meme craze, one must take a close look at those projects standing in the spotlight.
The success formula of “XX Life” is extremely simple and straightforward: Believe in this platform, win in life. This slogan strikes at the common dream of Chinese-speaking users worldwide—to achieve financial freedom through trading. Its narrative is rooted in the deep emotional resonance of a large user community.
The peak data is astonishing. The market cap has surpassed $524 million, and social media is filled with legendary stories of “turning $1,000 into $1 million.” Lookonchain has monitored a classic case: an investment of 5 BNB ultimately valued at $1.6 million. This myth of wealth creation has pushed market greed to its extreme.
If “XX Life” relies on cultural narratives, then Giggle ($GIGGLE) has pioneered a new way of “purposeful Meme”. Its positioning is very unique: a Meme coin that incorporates charity and education.
Giggle cleverly ties itself to CZ's Giggle Academy educational charity project. Its smart contract rigidly stipulates a 5% transaction tax, which will automatically be converted into BNB and donated directly to the academy to fund free education for children worldwide.
The narrative power of “investing for good” should not be underestimated. Giggle has not only raised over $11 million for charity but also performed exceptionally well in the market. According to CoinGecko data, the price once soared to nearly $170, with a market cap exceeding $157 million.
Of course, the road is not always smooth. In September 2025, Giggle's official Twitter was allegedly hacked, causing short-term panic. The price and market value significantly retraced, dropping from a high of $35 million to below $8 million at one point. This setback exposed a risk: the reliance of Meme projects on centralized social channels is too fatal.
But Giggle proved one thing: Meme coins don't have to be purely speculative tools. By combining with real-world public welfare, a more lasting community consensus can be built.
Official “Incorporation” Strategy
Faced with the frenzy on the chain, a leading platform chose a clever approach: not to suppress, but to guide.
The “Meme Rush” platform it launched is essentially an attempt to incorporate the chaotic issuance of Meme coins into an official system. This platform is not starting from scratch, but directly integrates the technology of the already successful launch platform Four.meme on BSC.
It has designed a three-stage issuance process:
New Phase - Available only to “Keyless” wallet users who have passed KYC. Tokens are non-transferable, and the price follows a joint curve model.
Final Confirmation Stage - Continue to restrict within the range of non-private key users to build momentum for public issuance;
Migration Phase - When the market cap reaches the milestone of 1 million USD, liquidity will migrate to DEXs like PancakeSwap, and the tokens will be fully tradable and open to everyone.
The strategic intent behind this design is very clear. First, by binding early opportunities to the “keyless” wallet, it strongly promotes the adoption of its own Web3 wallet. Secondly, this is a direct response to permissionless issuance platforms like Pump.fun on Solana, trying to keep users and liquidity within the BSC ecosystem through a more secure and standardized solution.
The most crucial point is that Meme Rush provides an official entry and screening mechanism for the “Listing Ladder” mentioned earlier. It seamlessly connects the user's CEX identity (after KYC) with on-chain activities, allowing the platform to observe user behavior with unprecedented precision and identify the next potential “gold mine” that might be listed on the main site.
The platform's launch had an immediate effect. In the first hour, 635 new tokens were created. After the launch of the first token BNBHolder, its market value once soared to nearly $170 million, demonstrating the platform's strong ability to attract retail capital.
Survival Guide for Retail Investors
This feast is full of temptation, but also fraught with traps.
On one hand, the potential for exponential growth has created an astonishing wealth myth. For example, some traders turned over $5,000 into more than $2 million in just 40 minutes, achieving a 410-fold return. But on the other hand, the price of Meme coins is almost entirely driven by sentiment, and the speed of a crash can be as fast as a surge.
In this high-risk casino, danger is everywhere. Rug pulls, smart contract vulnerabilities, market manipulation, and other scams are common. Project teams may pull liquidity and run away with the funds, backdoors in the code may lead to theft of funds, and whales may dump at any time to harvest retail investors.
So you must establish your own survival rules, rather than blindly following the trend.
A concise due diligence checklist is important. Before investing in any Meme coin, it's necessary to examine the on-chain data: Are the token holders highly concentrated? Is liquidity locked? Are there any suspicious large transfers? At the same time, feel the authentic enthusiasm of the community, not just bots flooding the chat. The quality of the narrative is also crucial—whether the project story is substantial needs careful evaluation.
The most important thing is to strictly adhere to risk discipline. Only invest funds that you can afford to lose; this is a golden rule in any speculative market. Set your profit-taking and stop-loss points, and don't ignore risk signals out of greed. Never go all in on a single project; while diversifying investments may reduce returns, it can significantly increase your chances of survival.
Remember: in this market, preserving capital is far more important than chasing high profits.
Conclusion
This wave triggered by a single sentence showcases the unique charm of the crypto world: a cultural meme can create hundreds of millions in market value within days, and a tweet can change the fate of countless people.
But remember, the real winners are not the ones with the best luck, but the players who can see the rules clearly, control risks, and maintain rationality.
Stay calm when others go crazy due to FOMO; see the opportunities when the market is in panic. Stick to your trading discipline, as this is the only rule to survive in this game where opportunities and risks coexist.
Your choice will determine whether you become the protagonist of the wealth creation myth or just a backdrop in someone else's story.

Damn, isn’t this just a new trick for whales to use sockpuppets to fleece retail investors? No matter how fancy the packaging, it doesn’t change the essence.

Damn, so this is the legendary "official-led pump," hahaha. I don’t think this is a game of power, it’s just the whales playing farm...
This is pretty interesting, BSC is really out of the ordinary this time.
Can a meme be worth billions? All I know is my money disappears even faster...
So basically, a big influencer says something and retail investors have to go all in? Wake up, everyone...
Wait, is this just another exchange cutting retail investors behind the scenes...
Seriously, looking at these meme coins is like reading a fantasy novel—even scriptwriters couldn’t make this up...
The problem is, by the time the official tools come out, will we even have a chance to get in...
Got it, it’s just a "textbook experiment" for the elites, and we’re just the lab rats...

Damn, it's the same old trick again. A co-founder of a top exchange casually throws out a blessing, and retail investors start sleepwalking—it’s just ridiculous. Isn’t this just another power game? To put it bluntly, it’s just a new disguise for fleecing retail investors.

Damn, "Game of Power" is the perfect term for this—I feel like I've always been getting rekt.
I've seen through it for a while now. Exchanges issue their own tokens and set the narrative; we small retail investors are just bag holders.
Wait, so should I still ape in?
This is the trap they've set—the meme has become a tool.
Damn, I've been harvested again, ffs.
Why does it feel like the whales are always putting on a show?
