BNB (BNB) — Onchain News & Whale Tracking

Binance kicks off a "60-minute countdown" event: Users who participate and make it to 00:00 will receive a 30 BNB reward.

Binance has launched its "Starter Carnival" series of activities, with the first phase rolling out the Button Game. The game’s rules are straightforward: after a user clicks the button, a 60-minute countdown begins immediately. If no other user clicks again during this window, the countdown will reach zero, and the user will earn 30 BNB vouchers. Once another click is registered, the countdown resets to 60:00, and the game proceeds. The activity will only kick off after 50,000 users have registered. Each user starts with 3 click chances, which can be obtained through tasks including deposits, trades, and sharing. If no user manages to reach 00:00 on the countdown, the prize will go to the user whose countdown is closest to 00:00.

Jiang Zhuoer: Buying US-listed BNC with a 5% position is equivalent to purchasing BNB at a 50% discount.

Founder of BTC.TOP (B.TOP) Jiang Zhuoer posted that U.S. stock BNC has fallen to the $4.4 support level. He has opened a 5% test position at around $4.5 for a trial buy, expecting BNC could drop as low as its breakout point of $4. Currently, BNC’s mNAV is approximately 49%, holding BNB worth $400 million, while the company’s current market cap is less than $200 million — equivalent to acquiring BNB at a 50% discount. If the flywheel effect of BNC + Meme works, that would be an unexpected upside. According to BIT (bit.com) market data, BNC plunged 15.62% during U.S. regular trading hours, rebounded 2.71% after hours, and is now trading at $4.55. Separately, GMGN data shows the on-chain tokenized stock BNC4 on BSC is priced at $5.584, with a roughly 23% premium over its underlying common stock.

U.S.-listed BNC’s pre-market market value stands at $240 million, with its BNB holdings valued at approximately $390 million, far exceeding its market capitalization.

According to BIT (bit.com) market data, BNB Treasury Company BNC (CEA Industries), a U.S.-listed stock, saw its pre-market rally pull back to 70%, with its pre-market price now at $5.9 and current market capitalization around $240 million. Additionally, as of April 30, 2026, it disclosed holding 515,500 BNB, worth approximately $390 million. For a company with a market cap of roughly $240 million, its asset value far exceeds its valuation. Furthermore, from December 2025 to June 2026, a conflict erupted between YZi Labs, the company’s asset manager 10X Capital, and its board of directors. YZi accused the other parties of deviating from the BNB strategy, mismanagement, and conflicts of interest, and launched a consent solicitation, which was once dubbed by the public as a "coup to take over BNC’s board". On June 23 and 24, 2026, the two sides signed a cooperation agreement to formally end the proxy fight. Three new directors were appointed, including YZi partner Alex Odagiu who assumed the role of interim president, and YZi withdrew its consent solicitation. To onlookers, this was a "reconciliation".

BlockBeats reminds users that related token prices are highly volatile, so investors should exercise caution.

Flap launches 'permissionless deployment' feature on BNB Chain

According to official announcements, Flap has officially launched its "permissionless launch" feature on BNB Chain. This upgrade introduces a custom quote token functionality, allowing users to bypass preset quote assets: they can directly input any token contract address to create trading pairs and issue tokens with one click, supporting a wide range of assets as quote tokens, including RWA, blue-chip crypto assets, and trending meme coins. Per the details, users can select quote assets, build trading pairs, and design token economic models based on their own needs, while leveraging Flap’s programmable mechanisms, such as Creator Wallet, Dividend, Burn, and Liquidity functions. Flap stated that this upgrade frees users from the constraints of a fixed set of quote assets, enabling them to build markets around any asset and design their own token economic systems.

According to news reports, a trader paid 40.8 BNB in node bribe fees and Gas fees to front-run the purchase of the token Hakimi, netting a profit of $378,000.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin Monitoring, a news-driven trader scooped up the Hakimi token within one second of Binance releasing its contract listing announcement. The trader paid a total of 40.8 BNB (≈$31,000) in node bribes and gas fees, then sold most of his position to net roughly $378,000 in profit. The announcement was published at 13:55:12; within that same second, the trader paid 35.3 BNB (≈$26,800) in bribes to the BNB48 Club node, used a private RPC channel to buy 9.89 million Hakimi tokens for 264.7 BNB (≈$200,000) at an average price of ~$0.02 per token, plus an extra 5.5 BNB (≈$4,200) in gas fees. After other traders piled in to drive up the token’s price, the news-driven trader sold most of his position in batches at an average of ~$0.058 per token.

A crypto trader reported in the news paid 5.5 BNB in gas fees to purchase the "Hakimi" token, netting a profit of $350,000.

According to Lookonchain’s monitoring, a news trader using wallet address 0xb319 earned an additional $350,000 by capitalizing on news that Binance would list the "Hakimi" contract. After Binance’s announcement, the trader promptly paid 5.5 BNB (≈$4,200) in gas fees to purchase 9.9 million Hakimi tokens at a cost of 264.7 BNB (≈$202,000). The trader subsequently sold 8.39 million Hakimi tokens for $459,000, and currently holds 1.5 million Hakimi tokens valued at approximately $93,300, resulting in a net profit of $350,000 from this trade. To date, the trader’s cumulative gains from news trading have reached $1.78 million.

BNB Chain's Director of Growth: Lowering gas fees is no longer the industry's top priority; public blockchains need to find sustainable business models.

BNB Chain’s Executive Director of Growth Nina Rong stated that regarding the debate between Arbitrum founder Steven Goldfeder and Solana co-founder Toly over Robinhood Chain’s fee model, she wants to underscore one key point: further reducing gas fees is no longer the top priority for the blockchain industry. The real priority for all public chains today is to develop a sustainable business model and reinvest proceeds into technology and growth. This model could take the form of gas fees, revenue sharing, or other commercial partnerships. Over the past five years, blockchain foundations have largely been associated with two core activities: issuing grants and making investments, as well as cutting gas fees. To sustain the industry for another five years, blockchain companies must have robust business structures.

The crypto market has seen a minor rebound, with Bitcoin breaking through $80,000, Ethereum surpassing $2,500, and BNB rallying sharply to cross $780.

According to HTX market data, the crypto market saw a minor rebound on Sunday, pushing total crypto market capitalization to $2.781 trillion. Bitcoin broke above $80,000, while Ethereum crossed $2,500. Driven by robust trading activity in the BNB Chain ecosystem, BNB surged past $780 and is now trading at $764. SOL is priced at $104, HYPE at $85.8, and ZEC performed strongly, rising over 5% to hit $1,070. Leading altcoin gainers include ARB, which topped the list with a 48.8% single-day rally to trade at $0.197; SUSHI, up over 40% in 24 hours to break $0.267; and several BNB Chain ecosystem tokens such as MARSCOIN, 1000CAT, TUT, and CAKE, which also ranked among the top gainers amid the ecosystem’s hot trading activity.

Bonk Guy: It’s the golden season for BNB Chain, and this round belongs to Robinhood and BNB Chain.

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.

BNB’s sharp rally drove a broad surge in its ecosystem meme coins, with Binance Life jumping more than 17% in the past 24 hours.

According to HTX market data, BNB has surged sharply today, breaking through the $770 mark with a 24-hour increase of over 8%, driving a broad rally in its ecosystem meme coins.

BNB Chain has launched the $4 million "BNB Stonks Szn" campaign, and Bonk Guy is likely to be its biggest beneficiary.

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.

BonkGuy noted that BNB Chain meme coin MarsCoin has surpassed $110 million in market capitalization, hitting a new all-time high.

Trader BonkGuy (Unipcs) stated in a post that MARSCOIN reminds him of SAFEMOON on BNB Chain in 2021, which once hit a market capitalization of around $17 billion. BonkGuy noted that MARSCOIN boasts a stronger narrative, integrating multiple hot concepts including Elon Musk, CZ, Mars, and SpaceX, making it one of the key assets in the BNB Chain meme coin segment. Fueled by growing market attention, GMGN data shows that the market cap of MarsCoin, a meme coin in the BNB Chain ecosystem, has surpassed $110 million, currently standing at $105 million, with a 24-hour gain of 41.7%.

FLORK’s market cap reached a high of $32.42 million, now standing at $29.44 million, surging 230% in 24 hours with a 24-hour trading volume of $17.5 million. BlockBeats previously reported that KOL Bonk Guy stated in a social media post that the recent market performance on Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain over the past few weeks may only be a "warm-up", adding that similar trends typically emerge at the start of a new bull market or before the market enters a genuine acceleration phase. He predicted that the actual rally may begin in the fourth quarter, noting that recent gains will likely only account for a small portion of the overall trend.

Crypto KOL Unipcs has called on the community to "prepare for the BNB boom", and his account was followed by He Yi two hours ago.

Crypto KOL Unipcs took to X to announce, “You’re not ready for the BNB boom—just as I predicted the Robinhood boom weeks ago, the BNB boom is coming.” Notably, Binance co-founder Yi He followed Unipcs on X earlier this morning.

Trader Bonk Guy: Robinhood and BNB Chain’s recent market performance is just a warm-up, and the real bull market may begin in Q4.

Trader Bonk Guy posted that the recent price action on Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain over the past several weeks may only be a "warm-up", pointing out that similar trends usually emerge at the start of a new bull market or before the market enters a real acceleration phase. He expects the actual rally to begin in the fourth quarter, with recent gains likely being just a small segment of the overall trend. Many investors, remaining overly defensive after the bear market, have missed recent opportunities. Trading habits that shielded investors during the bear market can also cap returns in a bull market; the key is to timely recognize when the market environment has changed and adjust one’s analytical framework accordingly. He also noted that future market moves will still feature pullbacks, but in a genuine bull market, these dips are often chances to accumulate high-conviction assets. More important than predicting every short-term fluctuation is judging the market direction, positioning in advance, and giving one’s investment logic sufficient time to materialize.

BounceBit Chain Releases Update on Vulnerability Attack Progress: Will Permanently Halt the Chain and Migrate to BNB Chain

Cross-chain yield protocol BounceBit has released a security incident notice, stating its blockchain network suffered a protocol-level vulnerability attack from 21:02 UTC on August 19 to 01:54 UTC on August 20. Attackers exploited an authorization flaw in Evmos’ underlying architecture to transfer BB tokens from 9 mainnet accounts without account owners’ authorization. Per the notice, the attackers moved approximately 286.5 million BB via 14 transactions. The incident is limited to BounceBit Chain itself, with no involvement of private key leaks, signature forgery, wallet, hardware device, or exchange account security issues. BounceBit’s CeDeFi Strategy, Promo Vaults, Prime, and RWA products were all unaffected. BounceBit noted the vulnerability stemmed from an authorization validation flaw in Evmos’ protocol-native module. When the attacker called the relevant module via a smart contract, they bypassed the security check that should verify the fund source account’s authorization, allowing them to designate any account as the fund source. After the incident, BounceBit Chain stopped block production at block height 20,702,857. The team decided not to perform a chain upgrade, instead permanently shutting down BounceBit Chain and reissuing BB as a BNB Chain-based BEP-20 token. The new BB supply will be based on an on-chain snapshot taken before the first abnormal transfer (block height 20,697,260). The 286,543,148 BB tokens transferred by attackers will not be included in new balances. Users do not need to submit applications or migrate wallets; the official will automatically distribute new BB to corresponding BNB Chain addresses.

Bithumb will suspend deposits and withdrawals of 28 BNB Chain assets on August 25, with the network upgrade expected to be completed at 11:30.

The impacted assets include BNB, ASTER, CAKE, FLOKI, PUMPBTC, SFP, SOLV, USD1, XVS, C98, EDU, GMT, HOOK, LISTA, and others, with the suspension limited exclusively to the BNB Smart Chain network. Bithumb expects to complete the node server update by 11:30 AM KST on August 25, though the exact time may change due to network conditions and block generation speed. The platform will issue a separate announcement to resume deposits and withdrawals once the network stabilizes. The announcement emphasized that trading of the affected assets will remain normal during the suspension, but users should note that significant price fluctuations may occur in the period.

CZ announced that he will disable public addresses to prevent his operations from being overinterpreted by the community, noting that BNB and "Binance Life" will be donated to Giggle Academy.

Binance founder CZ stated at Binance Square that many people are overinterpreting the meaning behind his actions. Today, while testing Trust Wallet, he found so many meme tokens in the wallet that it was difficult to even locate BNB. He then attempted to burn some of the tokens, a move that sparked extensive community discussion. CZ noted he realized he could never fully "clean up" all meme coins from that address: the more he burns, the more people will send coins to it. The transparent nature of blockchain means any activity on this address will be overinterpreted by the community. He even considered requesting the Trust Wallet team to add an "Ignore Coin" feature to prevent interface clutter, but pointed out that 99.99% of users would never use such a function. His plan is to donate BNB and the "Binance Life" tokens purchased with BNB to Giggle Academy, then cease using this address and leave it as a burn address.

Microsoft: Discovers new attack campaign hiding malicious code via BNB Chain smart contracts, affecting thousands of devices globally.

Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Team has released a report disclosing a set of compromised websites that use ClickFix and TerminalFix to launch social engineering attacks, combined with EtherHiding technology, to access smart contracts via the BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway for retrieving subsequent malicious commands. Since the malicious content is stored in on-chain smart contracts, only the wallet owner that deployed the contract can modify it, making it hard to eliminate through traditional takedown or blocking measures. Attackers forge CAPTCHA verification pages to trick users into opening Windows’ Run window, Terminal, or PowerShell, then pasting and executing malicious commands. The attack workflow extensively leverages system tools including conhost, PowerShell, mshta, rundll32, curl, WMI, and WebDAV for obfuscation and Living-off-the-Land (LotL) attacks. Microsoft points out that ClickFix and TerminalFix have emerged as high-frequency initial intrusion vectors, impacting thousands of enterprise and personal devices worldwide daily. Multiple threat actors use these tactics to spread malware such as Lumma Stealer, Xworm, AsyncRAT, and MintsLoader, which can further lead to credential theft, lateral movement, and ransomware attacks. The tech giant advises users against following prompts from CAPTCHAs, web error pages, emails, or ads to paste and execute any commands in Windows Run, Terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt.

BNB Chain: Former Employee Unauthorized to Issue New Meme Tokens via Original Official Test Wallet, Legal Action Taken

BNB Chain released an official statement saying a wallet address was previously created by a former employee, who used it to issue a meme token named TST as part of video tutorials. The employee is no longer with the company. After leaving his position, he retained unauthorized access to the associated seed phrase and used it to generate new private keys. BNB Chain has now learned that the same address is being independently used for activities related to a new meme token, ASTEROID, on BNB Chain. BNB Chain did not create, authorize, promote or participate in the issuance of this token, nor does it have any control over the token or the wallet address. These matters are unrelated to BNB Chain and have not been endorsed by the platform. BNB Chain is taking legal action against the former employee and cooperating with relevant government agencies regarding the incident. Earlier reports noted that the BSC ecosystem meme token ASTEROID hit a $10 million market cap in just four hours after its launch.

Binance will delist spot trading pairs including ERA/BNB, MAGIC/USDC, MASK/USDC, and others.

The spot trading bot services for these pairs will also be terminated simultaneously. Users are advised to update or cancel relevant settings in advance. The delisting of these spot trading pairs does not affect the availability of the corresponding tokens on the spot market, and users can still trade the related tokens via other trading pairs.

Security Warning: Abnormal on-chain fund flows detected for the CodexField project on BNB Chain.

On-chain investigator Specter has issued a community security alert, warning of potential fund misappropriation risks associated with the CodexField project on BNB Chain. On-chain tracking shows the project has amassed over $85 million in funds. Specter detected abnormal on-chain fund flows yesterday: a wallet bridged 17.3 million USDT from TRON to Ethereum, then swapped the tokens for DAI via Bitget Swap on Polygon. So far, $6.5 million has been transferred out, while the remaining $10.8 million is still in transit. The funds were originally bridged from Ethereum to TRON roughly six months ago, and the source wallet is linked to CodexField’s deposit contract. Below are key addresses for users to verify on their own: EVM: 0xBc606358910b3720d136F0d4Ce12b759C270747a TRON: TQNTEYadFVVQeobBtctSjurJ5RpfBsTmqh, TAzpg8L1WkkzCxxZk8TYnvaRYahehh52MK Related deposit contract: 0x9E6A75b546B65E7B9D34E2c9aB8Fe224B9aA52AA Additional red flags: The project requires a minimum $100 deposit for participation. Blockchain security tool Blocksec MetaSuites initially labeled the deposit contract as "Fake CodexField", but Specter’s follow-up investigation found the contract is actually operated by the CodexField team itself. The project uses multiple domains and subdomains to collect user deposits, and the team previously shared these domains via official channels. Its fund flow pattern is unusual, deviating from standard fund management practices: the project bridges funds across multiple blockchains, routes them through intermediate wallets, and ultimately sends assets to centralized exchanges. Specter noted that based on on-chain activity, the project warrants high vigilance. It advises all users interacting with CodexField to exercise extreme caution until the team provides a transparent explanation of its fund movements.
