The Meme Coin Madness Everyone’s Talking About 🚀

by

The decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) in the past 24 hours has reached $1.637 billion, surpassing Solana ($1.077 billion) by 34%.

If the BSC were a person, it’d be doing victory laps around Solana while yelling, “Keep up, slowpoke!”

DEX Volume on BSC Takes Off Like a Cat With a Laser Pointer

According to DefiLlama data, BSC, fueled by its new meme coin mania, is climbing the rankings faster than a squirrel at an acorn-stealing competition. With $84.3 billion reported in monthly trading volume, it proudly struts in second place behind Solana’s $105 billion.

However, the last 24 hours played out like a dramatic plot twist from a soap opera: BSC recorded $1.637 billion in DEX volume, leaving Solana at a modest $1.077 billion. Somewhere in the crypto universe, Solana is quietly sobbing into its blockchain.

This past week has been meme coin paradise for BSC. Coins like MUBARAK (up 71%), BROCCOLI (yes, you read that right, and its market cap is over $101 million 🥦), and TST (which magically hit $500,000 faster than you can say “tokenomics”). Meanwhile, the folks at Solana must be wondering where it all went wrong.

Four.Meme to the Rescue, Because What’s DeFi Without a Bit of Drama?

Turns out, Four.Meme is BSC’s personal meme coin launchpad extraordinaire, helping six (!) tokens reach market caps above $1 million in less than 24 hours. Compare that to Solana’s PumpFun, where only one token managed this milestone—clearly someone’s been skipping their morning coffee.

Solana once ruled the meme coin kingdom back in January 2025, boasting a weekly trading volume that could make your accountant faint. But thanks to bot problems and meme coin saturation, it’s now watching BSC zoom ahead in the DEX race.

That said, no victory is complete without hiccups. SlowMist recently discovered a liquidity exploit vulnerability on Four.Meme, stirring up ‘Uh-oh’ moments reminiscent of an amateur magician accidentally setting his top hat on fire. The $183,000 exploit earlier this year is a stark reminder that, in the world of crypto, security holes are just an awkward party guest that refuses to leave.

All things considered, BSC’s rapid gains in the DEX space signal a “watch this space” moment. Solana might be having an existential crisis, but BSC looks like it’s eyeing the crown—and maybe some meme coins shaped like broccoli along the way.
