Binance Smart Chain (BSC, now known as BNB Chain) is experiencing a real renaissance. Recent months have seen a wave of liquidity on decentralized exchanges, driven mainly by memecoins and low transaction fees. In October 2025, BSC not only surpassed Solana in terms of daily DEX volume, but also became a magnet for investors looking for quick profits. In this article, I will look at how this is happening, provide hard data on the gigantic volumes of recent days, describe the four.meme platform and the role of Changpeng Zhao (CZ) in promoting selected memes.
Why does BSC attract liquidity?
BNB Chain, built on the basis of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), has been distinguished for years by low fees – up to 90% lower than on Ethereum, and fast transactions. This makes it an ideal breeding ground for DeFi and memecoins. In 2025, the BSC ecosystem recorded a 58% increase in TVL (Total Value Locked) to USD 5.5 billion during the year, demonstrating growing investor confidence.
A key factor is the “meme season” – the memecoin season that has exploded on BSC thanks to tools like bonding curves and the platform’s fair-launch. DEXs like PancakeSwap dominate, controlling over 90% of the market on BSC, with liquidity fueled by speculation. Unlike Solana, where fees have increased, BSC offers stability and integration with Binance, which attracts retail traders. As a result, liquidity migrates from other chains, increasing TVL in protocols like Venus ($2.3 billion TVL). New users are also attracted to BNB by the recent launch of the Aster token and a platform where anyone can play on leverage without KYC.
Gigantic volumes from recent days
Data from October 2025 shows that BSC has become a leader in DEX trading. According to DefiLlama and Dune Analytics, DEX volume on BSC reached $6.05 billion in the last 24 hours, surpassing Solana and becoming the highest ever for this chain in such a short period. Network fees amounted to $5.57 million, highlighting the activity of the ecosystem, which is more than most L1/L2.
Previous data confirms the trend. A few days ago, PancakeSwap reported a quarterly record of $772 billion in volume, with daily highs above $5.8 billion. In March 2025, average daily DEX volume increased by 79% to USD 2.3 billion, but the October meme wave pushed it to absurd levels – e.g. perp DEXs like Aster reached USD 67 billion in one day (September 24).
This is not a coincidence. Liquidity is flowing through programs like BNB TVL Incentive, which reward projects for attracting capital. As a result, BSC became the “king of memes”, with top 10 trending memes based on this chain, including the $4 token, which grew from 400,000 to to USD 300 million market cap in just a few days. Several other memes, such as PALU, BNBHolder, had USD 100-200 MILLION in daily volume, and the record belongs to 币安人生, who in a few days reached USD 500 M in market cap, making hundreds of MILLION in volume several days in a row. This is pure madness, I have never seen such huge volumes even on Solana.
But be careful because, as usual, the stick has two ends and yesterday brought a series of huge declines on most of them. Even CZ himself wrote about it on his X.
Four.meme platform
At the heart of this revolution is four.meme – the first fair-launch platform dedicated to memecoins on BNB Chain, launched in July 2024. It is a tool that democratizes token creation, eliminating technical barriers and favoring equality. Unlike Pump.fun on Solana, four.meme focuses on low costs (only 0.005 BNB per launch) and automatic integration with PancakeSwap.
How does it work? The process is simple: you provide the name, ticker, description, logo and social media links – without coding. The platform supports bonding curves (price curve for fair distribution) and multiple trading pairs (e.g. BNB/USDT). The lack of pre-sales or allocations for the team ensures fairness, and liquidity pools are built organically. Four.meme integrates with Trust Wallet and offers tools such as airdrops, competitions (e.g. “Four.meme Oscars”) and AI for market analysis.
In October 2025, four.meme generated $1.4 million in revenue, surpassing Pump.fun ($885K). Successes such as $FORM (platform token, +85% in two weeks) or projects such as Banana, AICell or DeSci show that it is not just memes – it is an incubator of innovation. BNB Chain’s support (including its partnership with Binance) makes it a key player, attracting thousands of users daily.
CZ and its role
Changpeng Zhao, former CEO of Binance, has long been skeptical about memecoins – in November 2024 he called for building “real applications”. But in 2025, he changed his tune. In February, he suggested interacting with memes on BSC, inspiring tokens like TST (up after mention in BNB video). In October he announcedBNB meme szn!“, which fueled tokens like $4 (inspired by his “4” on FUD) and $PUP.
CZ also supported education through memes. GiggleAcademy raised over $1 million in donations in 12 hours, including $900,000. with memecoins. As of today, Giggle has collected an enormous amount of money:
His tweets (e.g. about creative memes or hackers dumping tokens) became a catalyst, but also a reason for accusations of manipulation. Nevertheless, his activity on X builds hype and whatever he writes is immediately tokenized and several new memes are created.
The future of BSC in memes and DeFi
Binance Smart Chain is no longer just a “cheaper alternative” – it is a liquidity epicenter, with record volumes and tools like four.meme that are democratizing memes. CZ’s support adds fuel, but remember that memecoins are speculation, not a reliable investment. With TVL growing and volumes above $6 billion per day, BSC could dominate DeFi in 2025. Build, trade carefully and watch the most dynamic sector of this market unfold. According to many specific meme players, the season is just getting started.
