The smart chain BNB, backed by Binance, is experiencing a resurgence, led by BOB Crypto (Build On Bob), a memecoin that has surged over 160% in the last 24 hours. It is rumored that this increase is due to its possible inclusion on the Binance list.
The cryptocurrency BOB was launched in November 2024 and the BNB Smart Chain community quickly adopted it, making it the standout meme coin of the network. However, shortly after, Binance co-founder CZ revealed that his dog's name was Broccoli, which quickly generated its own meme coin, overshadowing BOB.
BOB Crypto laughs last after being initially replaced by CZ's dog.
While BOB crypto was initially criticized for the multiple BROCCOLI tickers that appeared once CZ revealed his dog's name, Build On BNB was the last to laugh.
The two prominent BROCCOLI tokens have a combined market capitalization of only $37 million, while the recent surge of the BOB cryptocurrency has brought it to around $52 million, surpassing CZ's two dog memecoins.
BOB was taken over by CTO (community acquisition) in its early days after the initial developer sold his bags, and since then it has been touted as a leading memecoin by the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) community.
DefiLlama has ranked BSC as the third blockchain, behind Solana (second) and Ethereum (third). It has long been known as a cult community filled with major Binance and BNB crypto assets, and many of the early Binance and BNB whales operate exclusively on BSC.
