Meme coin OPTIMUS, traded on Robinhood’s crypto platform, sees a brief surge, with its market cap exceeding $20 million to hit a new all-time high.

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.
