Trump officially signed a pardon last night, releasing Binance founder CZ.

This scene somewhat resembles the wheel of fate. Once the number one person in crypto, from regulatory storms to penalties, imprisonment, and now a presidential pardon, he has gone in circles and finally returned to the center stage.

This is not just a simple return of a person, but more like a signal. A signal belonging to the entire crypto industry—regulatory cycles are passing, and a new policy window is opening.

For the past two years, Binance has been burdened with too many weights: regulatory investigations, compliance reviews, market doubts. Every little disturbance has been amplified into a crisis. But you will find that Binance has never collapsed; on the contrary, it has become more stable. Its ecosystem is still expanding, and BNB Chain continues to be active in segments like DeFi, AI, and GameFi.

Now that CZ has been pardoned, it is not just a personal chapter turning, but a restart button for Binance. This means that the political sphere is beginning to reassess the value of crypto, and it also means that Binance has the chance to redefine itself—not as a giant in the gray area, but as a global platform gradually accepted by the system.

Of course, the road will not suddenly become smooth; compliance, trust, and transparency are still issues that Binance needs to gradually address. But at least now, it is no longer excluded from the dialogue. Capital will reassess risks, partners will return, and user confidence will be restored.

Some say this is just a political deal; others say this is a historical node. Regardless of how you view it, today’s pardon truly shows the whole industry a light.

For those who have always accompanied Binance and believed in CZ, this is a delayed justice.

And for the entire crypto world, this is a warming signal.

The story of Binance is far from over.

The real recovery may just be beginning today.

The halo of celebrities is not a trust endorsement

A meme coin called MELANIA has stirred up discussions in the crypto circle. The reason is simple — it claims to be backed by First Lady Melania Trump and even calls itself the official token. More dramatically, Melania herself has spoken out for it, leading many to believe it was true for a time.

This token actually went live back in January this year, coinciding perfectly with Trump's inauguration, making it seem like a sudden political endorsement. However, the plot has turned faster than the coin's price:
In April, multiple traders collectively sued several meme coin projects, including M3M3, LIBRA, ENRON, TRUST, etc., accusing them of pump and dump schemes and market manipulation.

This Tuesday, MELANIA was also added to the list. The lawsuit did not accuse Melania herself of participating in any illegal activities, but pointed out that she might have unknowingly endorsed the project, serving as a figurehead.

In my view, this incident reflects an old issue — the celebrity halo trap in the era of meme coins.
In the past, whether it was Elon Musk, Kardashian, or various YouTubers, celebrity involvement in crypto projects has almost become a quick ignition point for the market. Even a vague tweet or a photo together could be packaged as official support.

The absurdity of the MELANIA incident lies in the fact that even the First Lady could be used as a spokesperson without her knowledge.
In a traffic-driven market, trust has become the easiest resource to consume.

What is truly worth reflecting on is, when memes are no longer just a joke but used as tools for exploitation, how much consensus and trust are left in this market?

Whether a project can survive does not depend on who endorses it, but on whether it is transparent, valuable, and has community consensus.

Its core selling points are:
Multi-chain native deployment, strong asset liquidity;
Transparent collateral mechanism supported by TRON DAO Reserve;
Current TVL exceeds $528 million, with a circulation of $478 million, and its stability is among the top tier of similar projects.

If you are already holding stablecoins or participating in DeFi investments, including $USDD in your portfolio can directly increase your yield limit without the risk of price fluctuations.

It is recommended to control your positions, avoid blind speculation, and consider participating in batches and reinvesting regularly.

CN Meme has knocked on the door of Binance Futures for the first time, and this step means more than just going live.


#币安人生 , starting from the fair launch of Four.Meme, there was no private placement, no pre-mining, and no VC endorsement; it relied solely on the community to push it to the peak of popularity. Now, it has become the first Chinese Meme token to successfully land on Binance Futures perpetual contracts, directly rewriting the landscape.


Behind this, there are three key nodes:


🔹 Fair Start —— The launch mechanism of Four.Meme keeps the project truly in the hands of the community, where users are not "buyers" but initiators.


🔹 Ecological Resonance —— BNB Chain is rising its own Meme universe, and the voice of the Chinese community is beginning to be concentrated and released.


🔹 Top Recognition —— Being accepted by Binance Futures means that trading volume, consensus, and international communication have all reached a global standard.


In the past, "Chinese Meme" was more about small circles enjoying themselves; now, for the first time, it has sat at the main table of global derivatives as a player.


#币安人生 is not the end, but the beginning. It proves:

✅ The Chinese market is not a mere participant

✅ Community power can also break through ceilings

✅ Meme is not just about entertainment, but can truly enter the main competition track


From Fair Launch to Futures, CN Meme has finally had its own milestone. And in the future, more projects will emerge along this path.


This is the beginning, not a coincidence.

SWAP Token Distribution

HyperSwap's announced SWAP token distribution clearly outlines the benefits and interests involved. From community, funding, follow-up incentives to team profit sharing, everything that should be given has been, showing a degree of order.

Let's start with the most eye-catching part: 50% directly allocated to the market and users.
Genesis airdrop 25%, investor allocation 25%, which means half of the chips are fully circulating as soon as they go online, with no lock-up and no tricks. Retail investors, old users, early supporters, and the public all start from the same starting line; whether they can reap the benefits depends entirely on their speed and insight.

Next is the mining incentive part. 25% is used to support long-term liquidity:
15% linear release over three years,
10% linear release over one year,
This indicates that the project is not aiming for a short sprint; the goal is to expand the ecosystem further, ensuring that LP and trading volume remain stable, rather than unplugging the network as soon as it goes online.

The team and advisor allocation is also quite reasonable:
Core contributors 8%, 1-year lock-up + 1-year linear release;
Advisors 3%, also with 1-year lock-up + linear release.
This design directly eliminates the possibility of cashing out by the team, at least in the first two years there will be no dumping.

One point that is easy to overlook — a 10% future trading airdrop, unlocking after 6 months. This portion essentially serves as an incentive pool for active users, aimed at continuing to increase trading volume after the TGE and ensuring the project does not become a flash in the pan.

Finally, the small proportions:
2.5% for LP providers,
1.5% for HIP-2 proposal-related incentives.
This indicates that they take community governance and ecological participation seriously.

If HyperSwap can seize the current momentum of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, this SWAP distribution plan lays a solid foundation for trading and activity post-launch.

Aster Upgrade Stage 3 Trading Points Mechanism

Aster has announced the latest Stage 3 trading points mechanism, and this adjustment has only one meaning: only those who engage in real trading and make real contributions can earn more points.
The new points system will no longer only consider trading volume, but will be calculated based on actual contributions.

Trading fees carry the main weight, and order book liquidity will also be included as a source of points. Both spot and perpetual trading will be counted, and the system will update points every hour, reflecting how much you use, how much you do, and how much you post in real time.

To prevent exploitation, Aster has set very strict rules: any behavior such as wash trading, matched orders, market manipulation, or false trading will be on the blacklist, and if account anomalies are detected, the platform can directly adjust, freeze, or even cancel $Rh points without prior notice.

This adjustment is most beneficial for three types of people: heavy traders who truly participate, users willing to post orders to provide liquidity, and those who participate in both spot and contract trading.

The mechanism now distributes the cake according to contributions, leaving no room for bots and wash traders. The points dividend for real players officially begins now.

After the flash crash and market shakeout, the ones that can withstand it the most are Binance and $BNB

That flash crash over the weekend truly caused a collective outcry across the internet; even stablecoins lost their peg, and the market felt like it was being drained in an instant. But looking back now, it’s clear who really held the line, who played dead, and who crashed outright.

From this black swan event, it’s apparent that $BNB is currently the only leading asset that can drop and then rebound, and has someone to back it up when issues arise.

Binance's performance during this incident can be described as perfect. When problems arose, they didn’t shift blame or play dead. They clearly explained the timeline, reasons, and scope of the impacts all at once.

The key point is that they didn’t just pass the buck to the black swan; instead, they proactively recognized the chain reactions within their internal modules.

Moreover, they didn’t delay or shift responsibility, compensating $283 million within 24 hours, which shows a very sincere attitude.

Therefore, the fact that $BNB was able to lead the rally is not a coincidence; it’s a recovery of confidence.

What was washed away in this flash crash isn’t just chips, but false beliefs.

The only ones left who can drop and rebound, who have someone to back them up when issues arise, and who dare to take responsibility are Binance and $BNB.

The market has already made everything clear; emotions can cycle, but the position of core assets will not change.

#币安

It is not an exchange, yet it ranks alongside Hyperliquid;

It is not a stablecoin, yet it can rank alongside USDT and USDC;

It is not a public chain, yet it ranks 4th in total network revenue.

In 7 days, it earned $18,740,000,

Who still says Meme is an emotional product?

A new member has joined the CTO Grant Program Phase II!

Welcome @hajimi_CTO_BNB 🎉

This batch of projects is laying the foundation for the Meme ecosystem of BNBChain, with a clear direction:

👉 We want to co-build, not just observe

👉 We want to implement, not create false hype

👉 We want real developers, not just pure traffic schemes

The future is being generated.

All wind directions tell stories, only Four.Meme speaks with data.

48,000+ tokens were born within a day, indicating that community momentum is not a false alarm.

1.48 million dollars in daily revenue is further evidence of the platform's self-circulation.

The Meme season of BNB has already been ignited, and the addition of CMC has poured gasoline on this fire.

Entering a step late means watching others make money.

Binance Partners with PayPay: Japan's Crypto Finance Enters the Mainstream Channel

Binance Japan has reached a capital and business cooperation with PayPay, a subsidiary of SoftBank Group, where PayPay will acquire 40% of Binance Japan's equity.

On the surface, this is a business transaction, but in reality, it is a critical handshake between the traditional financial system and the crypto world. The combination of the two means that Japanese users will finally experience a seamless transition from the fiat world to the crypto world.

In my view, this is not just a collaboration but a signal of acceleration for the Japanese crypto market.

In the past, although Japan had an open attitude towards crypto assets, strict regulations, cumbersome procedures, and high user education costs deterred many.

However, PayPay is different; it is the pipeline for mobile payments in Japan, with extremely high user penetration and trust.

When such a payment gateway connects to Binance, it is equivalent to directly opening up the main thoroughfare of traditional finance, allowing crypto assets to naturally integrate into Japan's mainstream consumption system for the first time.

The combination of the two parties is truly complementary: one deeply rooted in the crypto field and the other understanding user needs.

What truly brings crypto into daily life is not those complex protocols and models, but rather this seemingly ordinary entry point that everyone can use.

Meme Rush creates fair and transparent new game rules

Binance Wallet officially announces the launch of the brand new Meme Rush feature, a platform specifically designed for Binance Wallet users to discover and participate in Meme tokens.

In my opinion, Binance is not just playing with Memes this time, but is actually establishing rules for Memes!

This time, Meme Rush has several particularly interesting highlights:

First, it is not an event where latecomers miss out. As long as users complete identity verification through Binance Wallet, they can participate early in the Meme project's initial stages, with synchronized information and equal opportunities, without worrying about being left behind.

Second, the entire token is public and traceable. Each project, from new tokens to those about to be issued, and then to officially landing on DEX, will be displayed in real-time by Binance.

Third, outstanding projects also have the opportunity to be featured on Binance Alpha. This is a higher stage within the Binance ecosystem, meaning that once a project shows results, it can transition from the Meme circle to the mainstream trading market.

Moreover, during the Meme Rush event, all users trading Meme Rush tokens on the platform will receive a 4x Alpha trading volume points bonus. If the token ultimately successfully lands on Binance Alpha, this bonus will be extended for another 30 days.

From an industry perspective, Meme Rush represents a handshake between decentralization and a compliant ecosystem.

For project parties, this is an opportunity to be seen by the mainstream market and grow within a trusted system.

For ordinary users, it is a fair experiment of early knowledge, early participation, and early benefits.

According to DefiLlama's real-time data, in the past 24 hours, Four.meme

protocol revenue was approximately 1.47 million USD, successfully surpassing pump.fun's 1.35 million USD!

In just one day, Four.Meme has moved from community co-creation to industry leader,

not relying on capital hype, but purely on user activity and on-chain transaction volume.

Every listing, every transaction, is stacking real on-chain value.

This breakthrough is not just about numerical leadership,
but a signal of the shift in focus in the Meme track:
from Sol to BNB,
from gameplay imitation to ecological innovation,
from following the trend to actively creating hype.

Four.Meme is turning meme play into a cash flow art.

Ecological activity, user retention, KOL promotion, all are amplifying.

Binance Life on Binance Alpha,

is not only a victory for Four.Meme,

but also a collective spotlight for the Chinese Web3 community.

The first time seeing a Chinese name appear on the global recommendation page,

that feeling is like seeing a part of your own culture being recognized.

This is a Meme, and also a signal:

Chinese creators are redefining fun and value in their own way for the world.

I have always believed that a healthy on-chain ecosystem requires both people to make money and people to create culture.

The CTO support program of Four.Meme happens to combine these two aspects.

The addition of the three projects: Binance Life, PALU, is contributing to the ecosystem.

Each of them has a different style, but their commonality is: willingness to try and innovate.

Meme should not just be memes; it should be a language, an atmosphere.

And these people are using their actions to turn that sense of on-chain humor into real influence.
