The BNB Chain is on fire with memecoin mania, and if you're a blockchain enthusiast or meme token hunter, this surge is hard to ignore. Bubble Maps, a visualization tool that maps out wallet connections and token holdings to spot patterns like clustered ownership, recently shared a revealing thread on X (formerly Twitter) about the explosive growth in BNB memecoins.
It kicked off in response to a post from CZ Binance, the former Binance CEO, who tweeted: "#BNB meme szn! 😆 I didn't expect this at all. And people keep asking me to predict the future... 🤷♂️ Keep building!" This shoutout seems to have amplified the hype, drawing more attention to the thriving ecosystem on BNB Chain.
According to Bubble Maps' analysis, over 100,000 unique on-chain traders have dived into newly launched memecoins on BNB Chain. What's even more striking? About 70% of these traders are sitting on profits. The data breaks down the winners like this:
- 1 trader scored over $10 million in gains
- 40 traders made over $1 million each
- 900 raked in over $100,000
- 6,000 pocketed over $10,000
- 21,000 earned over $1,000
This isn't just hype—it's backed by on-chain data from EVM-compatible tokens, showing a total of 133,294 traders involved, with profited ones totaling 93,228 and a collective profit of over $516 million.
Bubble Maps uses colorful bubble visualizations to represent wallet holdings—the larger the bubble, the bigger the holding—and lines connect related wallets, helping spot potential insiders or snipers. Here's a look at one such map highlighting the top 250 holders:
Spotlight on Hot BNB Memecoins
The thread dives deeper into specific memecoins that are driving this season. Let's break them down:
$PALU
One standout is $PALU, where early buyers saw massive returns. Key stats:
- 2 traders made over $1M
- 100 made over $100K
- 1,000 made over $10K
- 5,000 made over $1K
Interestingly, Bubble Maps highlighted a wallet that scooped up $100K worth of $PALU right before CZ's tweet, turning it into over $1M in profits. This wallet used a contract to buy, so it didn't show up on standard DEX screeners. You can explore the $PALU bubble map here.
币安人生 (Binance Life)
This memecoin, with a name that nods to Binance in Chinese ("Bīn Ān Rén Shēng"), is another big player:
- 14 traders made over $1M
- 200 made over $100K
- 1,500 made over $10K
- 6,000 made over $1K

Additional Gems: GIGGLE, Binancians, and 客服小何
Bubble Maps also mentioned aggregating data from other tokens like GIGGLE (tied to CZ's Giggle Academy), Binancians (a community nod to Binance users), and 客服小何 (which translates to "Customer Service Xiao He" in Chinese, possibly a meme about support staff). One more unnamed token (#4 in the thread) had:
- 21 made over $1M
- 300 made over $100K
- 2,000 made over $10K
- 6,000 made over $1K
Its map is available here.
Why This Matters for Meme Token Enthusiasts
Memecoins on BNB Chain are gaining traction thanks to low fees, fast transactions, and the chain's massive user base. Tools like Bubble Maps make it easier to assess a token's fairness—look for dispersed bubbles to avoid rugs where a few wallets control everything. With CZ's endorsement sparking more interest, this season could be just heating up.
