In the fast-paced world of crypto, big players like Unipcs are always making waves with their strategic moves. Recently, the prominent trader—known in the community as the "Bonk Guy" for his early bets on Solana's Bonk meme coin—caught everyone's attention by leveraging his ASTER holdings on Euler Finance to dive into the buzzing $4 meme coin on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). This isn't just another trade; it's a classic example of how DeFi tools are fueling the meme token frenzy. Let's break it down step by step.

Unipcs' Strategic Deposit and Borrow on Euler

Unipcs, whose X profile boasts over 222,000 followers, started by depositing a hefty 1.74 million ASTER tokens—valued at around $3.6 million—into Euler Finance. For those new to DeFi, Euler is a decentralized lending protocol on Ethereum that lets users supply assets as collateral to borrow others, much like a crypto version of a margin loan.

By supplying ASTER, Unipcs was able to borrow 1.52 million USDT (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar) while maintaining a healthy health rate above 1.3, which indicates the position is safely collateralized and not at immediate risk of liquidation. Liquidation, by the way, happens when the value of your collateral drops too much relative to what you've borrowed, forcing the protocol to sell your assets to repay the loan.

This move highlights ASTER's growing utility. ASTER is the native token of the Aster ecosystem, a decentralized exchange (DEX) built for spot trading and perpetual contracts. With a total supply of 8 billion tokens and recent price surges (up over 18% in a day to around $2.20), it's becoming a hot asset for traders looking to leverage in DeFi.

Pivoting to $4: The Meme Coin Buy

Fresh off the borrow, Unipcs didn't sit on the USDT. Over the next eight hours, he deployed 1.28 million of it to scoop up 7.47 million $4 tokens at an average price of $0.172 each. This brought his total $4 holdings to about 7.47 million, valued at roughly $1.2 million based on current prices around $0.16.

$4 is one of those viral meme coins that's exploded on BSC, turning heads with insane gains. Inspired by Binance founder CZ's iconic "4" hand gesture (often used in memes to signal "hold" or "fourth wave"), it started as a speculative play but quickly pumped from tiny valuations. In just two days, one trader reportedly turned $68,700 into $9.3 million on it—a 135x return. However, like many memes, it's highly volatile, with rugs and pumps part of the game. Recent drama includes ties to a BNB Chain X account hack, where the hacker used stolen funds to pump a similar token, but $4 has since hit a $200 million market cap amid community hype.

The on-chain data, tracked by Lookonchain and visible on Arkham Intelligence, shows this address (linked to Unipcs) actively accumulating $4 via swaps on platforms like PancakeSwap and Uniswap V3 pools on BSC. While some outflows appear in recent transactions—possibly redistributions or sales—the net position screams conviction in this meme's potential.

Why This Matters for Meme Token Enthusiasts

Moves like this from influencers like Unipcs often signal broader trends. By borrowing against ASTER (an up-and-coming DEX token) to bet on a BSC meme, he's bridging DeFi utility with meme speculation. It's risky—volatility in ASTER could trigger liquidation, and $4's price could crash as fast as it rose—but the rewards can be massive in bull markets.

For blockchain practitioners, this underscores the power of cross-chain strategies: using Ethereum-based lending to fund BSC trades. If you're into memes, keep an eye on $4's community on X and Telegram for the latest pumps. Tools like CoinGecko for ASTER and CoinMarketCap for $4 can help track prices.

In the end, Unipcs' play is a reminder that in crypto, leverage and memes go hand-in-hand. Whether $4 hits new highs or fades, it's stories like these that keep the space exciting. Stay vigilant, DYOR, and maybe spot the next big move before it happens.
