Binance founder: The market cap reached as high as $500 million, but I only made $4,000.

In early October 2025, a dark horse suddenly emerged on the BSC chain — “Binance Life” MEME coin was born out of nowhere.

Its market cap soared to $500 million, with daily trading volume skyrocketing to $410 million. Some people made millions in just a few days, while others reaped tenfold or even hundredfold returns — but who would have thought that the creator of Binance Life (0x8463902E1fE88F63b79c11014dc221eb37fa6533), the developer who minted a $500 million MEME and ignited the Chinese MEME coin scene, was just taking a “bottle of mineral water from a seaside villa window”…

After missing out, what did he go through? What crazy moves did he make? And how did he survive 20 tumultuous days of tossing and turning, unable to sleep?

Starting October 2nd, he created 50 Meme tokens, of which only 4 were Chinese Meme coins. All of them were riding the hot narratives, but none gained any traction — they all sank without a trace. He adhered to the “liquid flow” strategy: quickly deploying tokens, buying in, and once retail investors followed and bought in, he would immediately sell to take profits.

The highlight: selling off 500 million in market cap in 20 seconds — the “breaking the leg moment” for the market maker.

On October 4th, a day that changed the crypto scene — the market maker pressed the “Binance Life” deployment button. After opening the market, he quickly bought some chips, and as usual, “made quick profits and then ran.” Within 20 seconds, he sold all his holdings in two transactions:

Gaining about $4,000.

Compared to the previous tokens that didn’t stir any waves, this move seemed like a “perfect finish” at the time. But fate played a huge joke: just hours after he sold, Binance Life suddenly “took off,” skyrocketing into a phenomenon-level token.

Unwilling to accept defeat, the market maker made a move that broke his own “liquid flow” principle: he bought Binance Life again, repeatedly entering and exiting multiple times. Before this, none of his tokens had ever been “bought back.” Behind this back-and-forth, lay a mix of hesitation, frustration, and regret — vividly reflected in his actions.

The madness: creating 359 MEME coins in pursuit of “another chance”

Binance Life’s explosive rise didn’t make the market maker rich, but it ignited his “ambition,” pushing him into “madness mode”: he created 359 tokens in total, averaging 51 per day — terrifying! Even more interesting, among these 359 tokens, 292 had Chinese names like “Binance Alipay,” “Binance Avenue,” “Binance Live,” and “Binance Rocket.”

The market maker was desperately trying to replicate Binance Life’s success, hoping fate would give him another shot at a $500 million myth.

But fate is cruel. Although some tokens later saw small gains, the market maker seemed to have “operation ingrained in his DNA” — sticking to his original “cut and run” mentality, he never experienced a big rally.

The conclusion: after 20 days of silence, he reemerges — is it a cycle or a new beginning?

On October 11th, his “liquid flow” trading suddenly stopped. Just when everyone thought he had made enough and was retreating into the mountains, on October 29th, he quietly reappeared. New tokens started flooding onto the BSC chain again.

Perhaps, these 20 days of silence were a moment of reflection on Binance Life’s “missed opportunities.” Or maybe he was refining new strategies. Can the regret of Binance Life be compensated by new tokens?

This puzzle of obsession and opportunity remains for the market and the public to interpret.
