- $4 launched after a hacker exploited BNB Chain’s X account, turning a phishing attempt into a viral community-powered meme token.
- Within 24 hours, $4 was added to Binance Wallet’s Alpha program, signaling major early interest.
- $4 surged to a $153M market cap and $114M in 24-hour volume, fueled by CZ’s subtle nod on social media.
In a wild twist, a meme coin born from a hack on BNB Chain’s official X account has rocketed to fame. Called $4, the token launched yesterday on the Four.meme platform. A hacker broke into the account, posted about the coin, and quickly sold off holdings for a measly $4,000 profit. But instead of fading away, the BSC community swooped in, took control, and turned it into a symbol of resilience.
Community Strength Births A Moonshot Token in 24 Hours
On October 1, the hacker pinned a post with Changpeng Zhao’s photo, the phrase “FOR THE MEME,” and a link to $4. They also pushed phishing scams, but the real surprise was the coin itself.
Priced at near zero at first, and with zero taxes and full decentralization, it quickly caught fire on PancakeSwap.
By this morning, Binance announced $4 joined its Alpha program, a showcase for promising early Web3 projects inside the Binance Wallet.
Trading kicked off at 12:00 UTC, less than 24 hours after launch. This fast track highlights Binance’s eye for tokens with buzz, giving users early access before any full spot listing.
As of now, $4 trades at $0.1524, with a market cap of $153.3 million—up from nothing yesterday. Its 24-hour volume hit $114.6 million, fueled by 159,634 DEX transactions.
CZ Fuels Hype Over $4 Token
CZ, known for meme love, like his 2021 Doge tweets, gave a nod, fueling hype. Posts on X exploded, with #4Meme trending in Asia and sentiment up 400%. Traders earn up to 100 Alpha points daily for holding $1,000-plus, sweetening the pot.
This echoes past wins, like PEPE’s 2023 revival to $1.6 billion. $4’s zero-tax and anti-FUD spirit draw degens. Related coins like $8 and $0 also pumped on the news. Analysts say memes grabbed 25% of Q3 trading volume, per Chainalysis.
BNB Chain’s TVL rose 5% to $6.2 billion post-listing. With Four.meme deploying 500+ tokens since May, $4 proves hacks can spark gold. Will it hit spot trading next, like TST’s $60M-to-$500M leap?
For now, it’s the talk of BSC, community power over chaos.
