CZ Tweets, Meme Token Explodes — $3K Turns Into $2M
-

On Oct. 1, 2025, BNB Chain’s official X account was hacked, posting phishing links to millions of followers. Out of the chaos, a joke token called “4” was born — a nod to the hacker reportedly making off with just $4K.
Then, Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao mentioned it. That single tweet turned the meme into a live trading signal. One early buyer invested $3,000 into “4” — and watched it surge to $2 million on-screen within hours.
The frenzy wasn’t fundamentals — it was thin liquidity and attention flow, with human traders and bots pushing the price higher.
