‘4’ Meme Coin Soars 650x After CZ Tweet, Trader Nets $2M in Hours
Wallet 0x872 turned a $3,000 investment into roughly $2 million in hours after Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) tweeted about the “4” meme coin on BNB Chain.
Launched to mock a phishing attacker who stole $4,000, the 4 meme coin surged about 650x, pushing the trader’s holdings to $1.88 million—98% of their portfolio—and leaving over $1.8 million in unrealized profit. Another early buyer booked $1.5 million gains at peak.
According to Nansen, “4” ranks third in smart money inflows on BNB Chain. This rally, driven by CZ’s post and social media hype, echoes past meme coin surges like PEPE. It underlines extreme volatility and profit potential in speculative markets.
Bullish
In the short term, CZ’s tweet triggered a rapid surge in the 4 meme coin price, drawing both retail and smart money inflows (ranked third on BNB Chain) and signaling strong bullish sentiment. However, the extreme 650x spike raises the risk of swift profit-taking and sharp corrections. Over the long term, meme coins often lack fundamental support, so sustained gains depend on ongoing social media attention and broader market sentiment. Overall, this event highlights how influencer-driven narratives can produce significant short-term gains but carry heightened speculative risk.
