Last weekend (March 15-16), MEME coins led by Mubarak helped revive the sentiment on the BNB Chain. The long-inactive P players switched to the Middle East time zone and followed the rhythm to participate in the carnival. In this MEME hype, Binance founders CZ and He Yi became the promoters of the craze, personally participating in the memes and creating memes. Various MEME hype materials pushed the craze to a new height.

With the investment enthusiasm of MGX increasing, CZ’s entry ignites the MEME narrative in the Middle East

Not long ago, Binance announced that it had received an investment of up to US$2 billion from the UAE sovereign fund MGX. This blockbuster news not only attracted widespread attention from both inside and outside the industry, but also became the strongest hype narrative on BNB Chain.

On March 13, the day when Binance officially announced its investment in MGX, the official posted a tweet on X with a picture of a "rich editor" wearing a Middle Eastern headscarf. This teasing tweet attracted interaction between CZ and He Yi.

When CZ retweeted the tweet, he added the word "Mubarak", which is an Arabic word meaning "blessing" or "giving grace". This term with Middle Eastern cultural connotations was immediately captured by the market, and a large number of MEME coins named Mubarak began to appear in the community. But among all the MEME tokens, CZ then retweeted a related tweet from a community member named "0x5c...46f6". This move was like "selection", which quickly led to a consensus in the market, and the attention to Mubarak also soared.

The heat has not subsided, and CZ dropped another depth bomb on Binance Square - he posted a message saying "I'm going to meet a friend on the weekend" and attached a funny Mubarak-themed MEME picture, which began to spread rapidly in the community.

On March 15, Binance Alpha quickly launched Mubarak. At the same time, CZ spent 1 BNB each to buy 9,161 TST and 20,155 mubarak the next day, and posted a message on Binance Square that seemed to respond, "Do some testing on the weekend." This series of operations pushed the hype of Mubarak to a climax. On March 16, CZ tweeted again that he was "considering changing the new avatar and soliciting interesting suggestions from the community," and mentioned that the current avatar has been used for 11 years. Combined with his recent frequent mention of Mubarak, this statement undoubtedly adds more imagination to the MEME coin, and some people even speculate that the new avatar may be related to Mubarak's image as a local tyrant. In addition, with the support of the community, Mubarak also won the $4.4 million permanent liquidity pool support provided by Binance.

Compared with the on-chain PVP melee triggered by CZ's announcement of the name of his pet dog "Broccoli", Mubarak's operation was smooth and flowing. "With a piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest in the Middle East", from the cultural label of Mashallah to the ridicule of the Middle Eastern version of CZ, to the launch of Binance Alpha and CZ's personal purchase, every step of interaction helped Mubarak achieve viral spread. It can be said that Mubarak's popularity is a combination of celebrity effect, cultural narrative and MEME attributes, accurately seizing the window of popularity of Binance's layout in the Middle East.

GMGN data shows that Mubarak's market value is close to $150 million at its highest. However, according to Aunt Ai's analysis, Mubarak currently has a problem of insufficient liquidity depth, which may make it difficult for large holders to sell their positions without significantly affecting the price. Mubarak's current market value is approximately $134 million, and its 24-hour trading volume is $88.1 million, but the liquidity pool depth is only $4.48 million, accounting for only 5% of the daily trading volume. Taking the number one address as an example, the 13 million tokens currently held by this address are worth approximately $1.618 million. If you try to sell them all at the market price, you will face slippage losses of more than $500,000, because the current BNB depth of the liquidity pool cannot support transactions of such a scale.

In addition to Mubarak, there are many other Middle Eastern narrative MEME coins that are being hyped in the market. For example, a few days ago, CZ retweeted a tweet from many years ago called "Inshallah" and posted a photo with MGX Chairman Tahnoon with the caption "Mashallah", which once made the MEME coin of the same name popular, but then it fell sharply after the tweet was unpinned.

Interactive marketing ignites community sentiment, but MEME hype has limited room

Mubarak’s hype ignited the sentiment on the BNB Chain, and Binance’s movements also became a source of market hype. Its interactive marketing has set off wave after wave of community enthusiasm.

For example, on March 13, He Yi left a message on X in response to a tweet about the organizational chart of Binance Exchange: "Who is that person in the upper right corner? Why haven't I seen him before?" This remark instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the community. Many members quickly followed up and played with the meme, inserting their own avatars into the organizational chart, setting off a wave of spoofs. Binance's official X account also joined in. In addition to replacing the person in the picture with "BNB Holder", it also self-deprecatingly changed it to "Palu" - the name "Palu" comes from the popular game "Phantom Beast Palu", and the Chinese community often uses it to jokingly refer to "cow and horse workers". This self-deprecating brand marketing and community interaction spread like a virus in the crypto circle, not only giving rise to the "bad" label "Web3 Palu", but also evolving into the MEME coin of the same name Palu, further driving the market's continued heat.

For example, the popular "answer me" and "look in my eyes" video memes on the TikTok platform have also been played out in new ways by the crypto community. There are many videos featuring CZ and He Yi. These funny videos have not only gone viral in the community, but have even been forwarded and liked by CZ and He Yi themselves. The official Binance account has also joined in the interaction, further amplifying the impact. The derived MEME coin $Answer of the same name has become another market hotspot.

However, overall, the hype space for most MEME coins on BNB Chain at this stage shows certain limitations. According to GMGN data, in the past 24 hours, the MEME coin with the highest transaction volume on BNB Chain was Mubarak, which was close to 100 million US dollars, while there were only three projects with transaction volumes of tens of millions of US dollars, and most of the others were hovering below one million or even hundreds of thousands of US dollars, showing the concentration of market enthusiasm and the lack of long-tail effect.

In order to attract more users, Binance Wallet also launched a six-month zero-fee trading event. On March 17, Binance announced that it will launch a zero-fee trading event from 16:00 on March 17, 2025, applicable to all trading pairs in Binance Wallet. The event will last until 16:00 on September 17, 2025. During the event, all transactions completed through the exchange and cross-chain bridge functions in Binance Wallet or the quick purchase function of Binance Alpha will be exempted from transaction fees, but users still need to pay network Gas fees. In addition, transactions conducted through third-party dApps are not included in the event.

In general, in the BNB Chain ecosystem construction, the "two-way rush" between Binance and the community has become the highlight of its marketing strategy. It not only narrows the distance with users, but also injects more vitality and topicality into the ecosystem through the light-hearted and humorous way of MEME.

On-chain fee report for the first half of 2025: 1,124 protocols achieved profitability, with revenue exceeding $20 billion.

Author: 1kx network Compiled by: Tim, PANews 1kx has released its most comprehensive on-chain revenue report to date for the crypto market: the "1kx On-Chain Revenue Report (First Half of 2025)". The report compiles verified on-chain fee data from over 1,200 protocols, clearly depicting user payment paths, value flows, and the core factors driving growth. Why are on-chain fees so important? Because this is the most direct signal of genuine payment demand: On-chain ecosystem = open, global, and has investment value Off-chain ecosystem = restricted, mature Data comparison reveals development trends: on-chain application fees increased by 126% year-on-year, while off-chain fees only increased by 15%. How large is the market? In 2020, on-chain activity was still in the experimental stage, but by 2025 it will have developed into a real-time measurable $20 billion economy. Users are paying for hundreds of application scenarios: transactions, buying and selling, data storage, cross-application collaboration, and we have counted 1,124 protocols that have achieved on-chain profitability this year. How are the fees generated? DeFi remains a core pillar, contributing 63% of total fees, but the industry landscape is rapidly evolving: The wallet business (which surged 260% year-on-year) has transformed the user interface into a profit center. Consumer apps (200% growth) directly monetize user traffic. DePIN (which surged 400%) brings computing power and connectivity services onto the blockchain. Does the on-chain economy truly exist? Although the total cost did not exceed the 2021 peak, the ecological health is stronger than before: At that time, on-chain fees accounted for over 40% of ETH transactions; now, transaction costs have decreased by 86%. The number of profitable agreements increased eightfold. Token holders' dividends hit a record high What are the core driving factors? The asset price determines the on-chain fees denominated in USD, which is in line with expectations, but the following should be noted: Price fluctuations trigger seasonal cycles 21 years later, application costs and valuations show a strong causal relationship (increased costs drive up valuations). The influence of on-chain factors in specific tracks is significant. Who is the winner? The top 20 protocols account for 70% of the total fees, but the rankings change frequently, as no industry can be disrupted as rapidly as the crypto space. The top 5 are: meteora, jito, jupitter, raydium, and solana. A discrepancy exists between expenses and valuation: Although application-based projects dominate expense generation, their market capitalization share has remained almost unchanged. Why is this? The market's valuation logic for application-based projects is similar to that for traditional enterprises: DeFi has a price-to-earnings ratio of about 17 times, while public chains have a valuation as high as 3900 times, which reflects additional narrative value (store of value, national-level infrastructure, etc.). What are the future trends for on-chain fees? Our baseline forecast shows that on-chain fees will exceed $32 billion in 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of 63%, primarily driven by the application layer. RWA, DePIN, wallets, and consumer applications are entering a period of accelerated development, while L1 fees will gradually stabilize as scaling technology continues to advance. Driven by favorable regulations, we believe this marks the beginning of the crypto industry's maturity phase: application scale, fee revenue, and value distribution will eventually advance in tandem.

IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge!

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
