Binance’s CZ Buys 1 BNB of $TST, Now Working on Adding It to Liquidity Pool
Changpeng CZ Zhao just bought 1 BNB worth of $TST (approximately 5,400), and now he’s figuring out how to add it to a liquidity pool (LP). The former Binance CEO admitted via a post on X that the process wasn’t as easy as expected, even for someone who built the world’s largest crypto exchange.
“DEX is so much harder to use. 27 minutes to do a test buy… Still haven’t figured out how to add to the liquidity pool. And you have to do this while they are all watching on the blockchain,” CZ wrote.

An hour before his TST purchase, CZ revealed that $1 million in crypto had landed in one of his wallets. He had originally sent $100,000 (150 BNB) from that address as a donation, but the same wallet unexpectedly received ten times that amount back.
“I will not keep any of coins/tokens for myself,” CZ tweeted. “What should I do with it? Add to an LP pool? Airdrop? Donate to a charity? Send to a burn address? Any other ideas? Serious question. Limiting replies to people I follow to avoid spam. Will unfollow any spammers.”
Crypto users immediately weighed in, with suggestions flooding in from all sides. Some demanded he burn the tokens, others pushed for a charitable donation, while a huge portion of the community begged for an airdrop. CZ hasn’t shared if he has made a decision but he probably used some of that to buy the TST tokens.
TST’s interesting origin story
$TST, or Test Token, wasn’t supposed to be a real crypto. It was actually created on February 7 as a tutorial asset on Four.meme, a platform designed to teach users how to launch meme coins on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
The BNB Chain team featured $TST in a demo video, inadvertently sharing the token’s name and contract address. That was all the degens needed. Within hours, traders—particularly in China—began sniping the token, and $TST took on a life of its own.
Its market cap started at just $500,000, but hype-driven speculation pushed it past $50 million within three days, thanks to social media, speculative hypertrading, and the classic meme coin FOMO cycle.
On February 9, 2025, Binance officially listed $TST, introducing TST/USDT and TST/USDC trading pairs. The listing exploded demand, sending prices even higher as retail traders flooded in.
Binance repeatedly stated that $TST was not an official Binance-backed token. The exchange clarified that the listing was purely market-driven, saying over and over again that Binance had no control or involvement in its creation.
