Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.TOP (莱比特矿池), posted that Bitcoin has just pulled back, Coinbase’s Bitcoin premium remains negative and its discount continues to widen, and he forecasts that the spot Bitcoin ETF (which trades on U.S. equity markets) will record net capital outflows tomorrow. ETF data is lagging; trading based on such data is equivalent to driving while looking in the rearview mirror. Though inconvenient, ETF capital inflows and outflows are highly significant, so it is necessary to keep close attention on them.

According to official announcements, Four.meme has launched the BNC4 Daily Buyback Campaign, running from 00:00 UTC on September 9, 2026, to 23:59:59 UTC on December 9, 2026. Notably, BNC4 product revenue generated on September 8 will be allocated to the first week’s buyback pool. During the campaign, all daily BNC4 product revenue will be used to repurchase eligible community meme tokens from the market, which will then be burned. Per campaign rules, daily trading volume of BNC4-pool meme projects—those using BNC4 as pool assets, with no fewer than 3,000 holding addresses and a market cap of at least $500,000 USDT—will be calculated over the 00:00 to 23:59:59 UTC period each day. The project ranking first in daily trading volume will qualify for that day’s buyback: Four.meme will allocate 100% of the day’s BNC4 product revenue to directly repurchase the project’s tokens, followed by burning all repurchased tokens. Product revenue includes transaction fees from BNC4 and fee income from BNC4 liquidity providers (LPs). Four.meme stated that daily rankings will be recalculated to determine a new top-volume project each day. Daily buyback amounts, burned token volumes, and on-chain transaction records will be made public for community verification. To ensure fair participation, projects engaging in wash trading, anomalous transactions, volume manipulation, or other improper activities may be disqualified from rankings and buyback eligibility.

According to GMGN data, BSC-based tokenized stock BNC4 rose 13.66% in the past hour, currently trading at $7.36. Per BIT (bit.com) market data, US-listed stock BNC is priced at $5.15. The premium of the tokenized stock over its underlying equity has widened further. Note: 4Stock originated from the "stock meme" narrative launched by Four.meme. It first rolls out 4Stock underlying assets tied to equities, then allows the community to issue meme coins using these assets as liquidity pools. BNC4 is the first 4Stock tokenized stock, pegged 1:1 to BNC, the stock of the BNB treasury company. The meme coin "4Stock" corresponds to the BNC4 pool. BlockBeats reminds users that most meme coins have no practical use cases, are highly volatile, and investors should exercise caution.
