The BSC chain has recently become exceptionally popular.

Since CZ called for the $Mubarak token, a large amount of capital has flowed in, giving rise to several astonishingly high-performing tokens, heating up the BSC ecosystem. According to Defillama data, the DEX PancakeSwap on the BSC chain surpassed Uniswap in trading fees over the past 24 hours, jumping to first place.

In addition to the meme coin craze, high-quality projects within the BSC ecosystem are also emerging continuously. According to Rootdata, there are currently 201 projects on the BSC chain that have received financing, have not yet issued tokens, and are still operational, including several star projects supported by institutions like Binance Labs (now YZi Labs) and Polychain. These projects cover multiple fields such as DeFi, cross-chain liquidity, and AI computing, representing the long-term development direction of the BSC ecosystem.

This article will review 7 of the most actively traded meme coins on the BSC chain recently and introduce 5 projects that have received financing but have not yet issued tokens, analyzing their narratives for readers' reference.

Arab Concept Meme

1. $mubarak (mubarak)

Mubarak means "blessed" in Arabic and is often used for holiday greetings.

On the afternoon of March 13, Binance's official Chinese X account retweeted a meme image dressed in Arabic attire, and shortly after, CZ himself also retweeted it with the caption "Mubarak." Subsequently, a large number of memes with the same name emerged on-chain.

Perhaps to avoid the issue of mixed contracts during the Broccoli incident, CZ retweeted a tweet from a Mubarak community member on the morning of March 14, indirectly designating the official contract address.

On March 15, CZ posted a meme image of Mubarak in Binance Square with the caption "Going to meet a friend this weekend." The token price then skyrocketed from $0.004 to $0.04. That evening, Binance Alpha listed mubarak, and the market speculated that it might officially land on Binance, with the token price fluctuating wildly around $0.04.

On March 16, a wallet address marked as CZ bought 1 BNB of $mubarak, and the token subsequently rose continuously, with a market cap peaking above $270 million.

• Market Cap: $138 million
• 24-hour Trading Volume: $103 million
• Token Price: $0.136

2. $Mubarakah (Mubarakah)

Mubarakah is a "female version" of mubarak, launched by the community based on the Mubarak meme image, combined with He Yi's image. It has not yet received "endorsement" from CZ or He Yi and mainly relies on community promotion.

• Market Cap: $3.8 million
• 24-hour Trading Volume: $8.5 million
• Token Price: $0.0037

3. $QMubarak (QueenyiMubarak)

QMubarak is also a derivative meme of Mubarak, sharing the same concept as Mubarakah, focusing on the "Middle Eastern version of He Yi." The image of this meme was retweeted by He Yi's own X account, leading to a rise of over 200 times.

• Market Cap: $588,000
• 24-hour Trading Volume: $3.3 million
• Token Price: $0.0005

Community Concept Meme

4. $BNB Card (BNB Card)

Binance's official account posted an early construction card, and someone used this meme to create a token. Later, others shared their own cards, and even He Yi posted in support.

On March 18, He Yi posted an image based on the BNB Card on his X account, captioned "Humble little He is online listening to advice." The token then surged over 60% in just one hour.

However, due to the largest holder @Wolfy_XBT selling off significantly at the peak, the token price experienced a massive drop, with the market cap plummeting from nearly $10 million to $3 million. After facing collective backlash, this user donated 2% of the tokens to CZ, and after several twists and turns, the community had new expectations for the token.

• Market Cap: $2.6 million
• 24-hour Trading Volume: $7.8 million
• Token Price: $0.0026

5. $DDDD (DDDD)

$DDDD was born during the downtime of the Four platform, representing the initials of the Chinese phrases "带带弟弟" (bring along the younger brother) and "懂得都懂" (those who understand, understand). He Yi proposed this term on Twitter. Initially, $DDDD was misunderstood during the FUD process and even misinterpreted by He Yi, but it was later clarified. This twist made it a memorable meme. The repetition of the four letters makes it easy to spread and helps more people understand the unique style of Chinese memes.

• Market Cap: $1.5 million
• 24-hour Trading Volume: $5 million
• Token Price: $0.0015

6. $TUT (Tutorial)

$TUT is touted as a meme coin created by real builders and currently has its own website and roadmap. Ten months ago, the developers recorded the first tutorial on how to issue tokens on the BNB chain, which mentioned the $TUT token. Therefore, this token is considered more OG than $TST and has gained traction during the recent BSC craze.

• Market Cap: $52.7 million
• 24-hour Trading Volume: $37.7 million
• Token Price: $0.053

7. $Palu (Binance's Palu)

Palu initially appeared as Binance's mascot, and the official Binance Chinese account had used the #Web3帕鲁 tag multiple times, but the community's response was lukewarm.

It wasn't until March 14 that Binance released an organizational chart of the exchange, where the "mysterious eighth person" was identified as the meme king Palu, symbolizing all Binance users. He Yi's comment further boosted its popularity, and the meme quickly went viral.

• Market Cap: $1.3 million
• 24-hour Trading Volume: $2.6 million
• Token Price: $0.0013
