According to GMGN market data, the new meme coin Stonks on the BSC chain reached a market cap of $2.5 million just 1 hour after its launch, and is currently priced at $2.52 million. Inspired by BSC's official trading event "BNB Stonks Szn" (the term "Stonks" is also American slang, a play on "Stocks"), this meme coin is paired with the tokenized US stock QQQ (Invesco QQQ Trust, which tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index) on BSC. BlockBeats reminds users that related token prices are highly volatile, so investors should exercise caution.

BNB Chain has announced the launch of its multi-week meme trading season "BNB Stonks Szn," with a total prize pool of $4 million. From September 4 to 12, eligible meme tokens paired with bStocks will compete for rankings on the meme leaderboard. The prize pool will be distributed weekly and increase incrementally each week. The first week’s prize pool stands at $400,000, allocated based on the HODLer Index (Diamond Hand Index), with the top three meme token holder communities unlocking airdrops. The index is calculated based on holding size and duration, with data tracked starting July 27, 2026; selling midstream will reduce scores. Eligibility requires individual meme token holdings of at least $100. The first week’s results and airdrop amounts will be announced by BNB Chain’s official X account at 15:00 UTC on September 11, with rewards sent directly to eligible wallets in BNB. Notably, MarsCoin is currently the largest market cap meme token paired with bStocks on BNB Chain, and on-chain data shows crypto KOL Bonk Guy is its largest individual holder.

According to on-chain data, the Robinhood blockchain is suspected to be down, with new block generation suspended for over 4 minutes.
