On March 9th, GMGN monitoring data (link: https://gmgn.ai/bsc/token/i_m4TE56o8_0xeccbb861c0dda7efd964010085488b69317e4444) shows the BNB Chain (BSC)-listed meme token “Lobster” began rallying last night from a $2 million market cap and has extended gains through this morning. Over the past 2 hours, its market cap briefly surged above $10 million to a new all-time high before retracing slightly. It currently trades at $8.2 million, with a 250% 24-hour gain and roughly $8.3 million in trading volume over the same period.

BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, driven largely by market sentiment and concept hype—with no underlying value or practical use case. Investors should be aware of the risks.
