From $3,500 to $7.9 million in days, the story of a BNB Chain memecoin trader

-

Crypto never fails to surprise, and just when you thought the memecoin madness had peaked, along comes a trader who turned a modest $3,500 bet into a $7.9 million payday in a mere 72 hours.

Meet 0xd0a2, a mystery player who snagged 19.8 million Binance Life tokens when the project was barely on the radar. Spoiler alert, it skyrocketed.

The biggest holder of Binance Life

Fast forward a few days, and this humble gamble exploded alongside the meme token’s market valuation, rocketing past $420 million.

That’s a smashing 2,260x return that would make even the most hardened Wall Street veteran raise an eyebrow. Big story, no doubt, and the crypto community is loud.

So, analysts and observers checked how it was, and shared that playing it smart, the trader divvied up the winnings, selling 1.3 million tokens just to recoup the original investment but keeping a massive 18.5 million as the biggest holder of Binance Life.

One giant paw in the pot.

Growth

This is no lone wolf story. The BNB Chain ecosystem is swimming in a new memecoin fever.

Tokens like 4 (yes, it’s called literally “four”) are flexing with a 60% weekly gain, while over 100,000 on-chain traders are diving into new memecoins.

The best part? Roughly 70% are in the green, with dozens racking up $1 million-plus returns.

Talk about a money tree springing up overnight. Even Binance co-founder CZ was caught off guard by the frenzy, tweeting a mix of surprise and encouragement.

It’s a rally cry familiar to anyone who’s rode the crypto rollercoaster.

“I didn’t expect this at all. And people keep asking me to predict the future… Keep building!”

BNB Chain’s growth is reflected in its network fees too, hitting $5.57 million in 24 hours, the highest among all public blockchains as of today, October 8.

To put that in digestible terms, Tron and Ethereum managed only $1.46 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Memecoin season?

This crazy jump ties neatly with BNB’s own rocket launch, a 30% weekly price jump sending it to an ATH of $1,336 on October 7, catapulting its market cap beyond $180 billion.

It seems the memecoin season is roaring louder than ever.

If there’s a hero’s journey in crypto, 0xd0a2’s tale is a poster child for luck, timing, guts, and a little bit of meme magic, proof that in the land of digital coins, fortunes can be minted overnight.
