According to HTX market data, Ethereum has surged past $2,500, posting a 1.83% gain in the past 24 hours.

Trader Bonk Guy’s portfolio has hit a new all-time high of $27 million, with $20.83 million in gains over the past 30 days, making him the first trader on the Fomo platform to reach a $27 million portfolio. Bonk Guy is also the platform’s all-time top trader, posting $5.34 million in unrealized gains in the last 24 hours and $17.14 million in unrealized gains over the past seven days. The trader has previously emphasized that none of his trades or successes are his own doing, crediting all to God. Tokens PONS, USELESS, and MARSCOIN have contributed the majority of his unrealized gains. Bonk Guy initially purchased 10.9 million PONS tokens for $67,700; the holding is now worth over $10.27 million, delivering a 150x return on investment.

According to GMGN market data, meme coin MARSCOIN on the BNB Chain ecosystem broke through $265 million in market capitalization this morning, setting a new all-time high. The token is now trading at $245 million, with a 38.2% 24-hour gain. Binance recently launched MARSCOIN contract trading on September 1, and rolled out its spot trading on September 4.

Prominent crypto trader Bonk Guy says this cycle belongs to Robinhood and BNB Chain, loudly declaring that BNB Chain is now in its golden season, urging people not to ignore this narrative. Bonk Guy looked back at his previous trading calls: several weeks ago, he repeatedly stated that the "Robinhood season" was approaching, but many dismissed his view at the time. The meme coin rally has since almost perfectly matched his expectations, with PONS surging from a $4 million market cap when he first called it to $990 million, CASHCAT hitting $270 million, AI (token) reaching $280 million, and numerous other tokens boasting market caps in the tens of millions. Bonk Guy believes MARSCOIN has fired the starting gun for the meme coin narrative in the BNB Chain ecosystem, is now the clear leader, and will continue to pull far ahead of peers. Bonk Guy also emphasized that when BNB Chain’s trading activity really heats up, it will do so with extreme momentum and speed, warning against chasing gains after tokens have already surged 10x. The core reason is that Binance is the world’s largest centralized exchange (CEX), boasting 320 million users. MARSCOIN is now listed on Binance’s spot and derivatives markets, making it much easier for Western users to buy BNB Chain meme coins, with far better accessibility than in previous cycles. In the last cycle, SAFEMOON surged to a $17 billion market cap on BNB Chain, proving that BNB Chain meme coins have enormous upside potential once they catch fire. There won’t be just one winner—many tokens will rally alongside the leading ones, and the BNB season will be extremely explosive once it truly kicks off. Finally, Bonk Guy advises that people start monitoring and positioning now, stressing that it’s better to enter early than to chase after already surging prices.
