It is a bit of older news, but I am not sure if it was shared here, if so I totally missed it:
Some things seem to be changing in the space. In 2025 Ondo, a stock and bond tokenizer announced that they will launch Ondo chain in the future. It would be an L1 specifically made for tokenized stocks and trading. Later in 2025 they then launched their tokenized products on Ethereum and then expanded to other chains, mostly on BNB, some on Stellar, some on Solana, some even on XRP. Nowadays the majority is on Ethereum, some individual stocks are larger on BNB and some bonds weirdly are the largest on XRP.
About a month ago Ondo announced their 'evolution' of their L1 plans and announced Ondo Network. This currently is pretty much a perp specific L2 on top of Ethereum. They realized strong settlement guarantees and fast trading cannot be solved together, improving one side makes the other one worse. So they came up with a new design, where Ethereum does the settlement and a small number (only 1?) of sequencers facilitate the trade. Trades are not public, but their validity is verified by attesters. I am not sure how they do the data availability, but pretty sure they are not using blobs. They probably have some inhouse solution. Their official announcement and blog post does not mention Ethereum (as usual...).
I played around in their UI and they definitely only accept USDC deposits from Ethereum. Some reports mention Ethereum as the settlement layer and some other also mention that they will expand this mechanism to other L1s. For perps it is pretty easy to accept stablecoins and settle to different chains, but with tokenized stocks it probably is a bit tougher to have enough liquidity on various chains to warrant an expansion. From the TVLs they have on various chains, it looks reasonable to expand to BNB for them, but on other chains they have really small TVLs and most often just a subset of their products available. BNB also already has their own perps venues, so not sure how Binance would look at this additional competition. So, I am not sure if it is worth it for them to expand, except obviously if they are getting paid to do it. All in all it is great to see that Ethereum is getting used for the properties it is strong at.

Since the top comment is asking whether this is a bull trap, here's what the base rates actually say. I pulled every day across 8 majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB, ADA, LINK) where the coin closed up 15% or more on the day. 253 instances. Then I looked at the following day.

57.9% of those next days closed red. 30.3% closed more than 5% down. 13.8% closed more than 10% down.

But the average next-day return is +0.92%, comfortably above the +0.21% baseline for a random day.

Both of those are true at once, and that is the whole point. The median next day is -1.51% while the mean is positive, because 14.6% of the time the thing rips another 10%+ and drags the average up by itself. The distribution is barbell shaped, not centered.

So "is it a bull trap" is the wrong shape of question. Most days after a big pump are red, and the ones that aren't are occasionally enormous. If you size for the average you get run over by the median. If you size for the median you miss the tail that pays.

Method: daily candles, Binance spot, up day measured close vs open on the same candle. Happy to be told this breaks somewhere I didn't test.

Even LTC/BNB was delisted by Binance today 8/18. Paper reserves getting thinner. 😂

Geez, what happened to ETH? I am convinced it's pumping so hard because I don't have it anymore in my portfolio. Bought some SOL and BNB on the way down though.

You forgot BNB

This was the biggest hurdle I hit when running the cost-adjusted validation stage.
I modeled friction at 6–7 bps per side (12–14 bps round trip) to reflect taker crossing fees + spread on Binance perps. On strategies with gross edge of 8–10 bps you get completely destroyed!!
That’s why I had to discourage scalping 15 mins and under scalp bots, which are mathematically unviable at retail taker rates. I shifted emphasis to 4h–44h hold horizons lowering the break-even hurdle from 42 bps to \~24 bps**.**
I aso tried restricting counter trend positions, and aligned the router to align with macro regime direction... swung gross edge by +6.6 bps.
But you're right: without TWAP execution or maker rebates, thin-edge bots (<15 bps gross) simply cannot clear the friction hurdle in production. Even if the platform uses its own wallet and avails the BNB discount, thin edge bots might not be profitable, at least the ones I coded!

memecoin that's literally called The Bull Is Coming during a bear market?
That's either genius marketing or the most tragic irony I've ever seen.

The fact that it's holding $0.04 after a massive pump is actually impressive most of these things get dumped into oblivion, but it's still a BNB Chain meme coin and could run more buyers picks it up or fade into obscurity

Not worth the risk to start playing with the bank here with Binance. The simplest way is to trade to a low-fee crypto, and send it to your wallet. Leave BNB as the last one. Or for example to OKX, since that have a tasty 8% deposit bonus at the moment.
Not sure of how much are we talking about in here :)

Hi, I live in Finland. As I understood that we should really clear all our asset from Binance away soon since it will become more complicated. I now still have small amount of euros there, and a bit more includes BTC, ETH, Sol, BNB. I am planning to either 1. withdraw the euro back to my bank or 2. buy all BTC. The BTC and other coins I will move to trust wallet. But for the 3. BTC and ETH since the fee to draw to trust wallet is high. I was planning to swap to SOL on Binance then transfer to trust wallet and then swap SOL to BTC in trust wallet.
I am quite new to this and it has been changing so much and I am trying to catching up. I would like to ask, if you have any suggestions for my case or my plan is already good. I appreciate your help and please spare me if any of my questions doesn't make sense or stupid. Thank you!

Use a Crypto Faucet
Search for "BNB Smart Chain faucet" - many offer small amounts of BNB for free
Examples: Binance Faucet, PancakeSwap faucet, or other BSC faucets
You'll need to complete simple tasks or CAPTCHAs
Buy BNB Directly
Purchase $1-2 worth of BNB on an exchange (Binance, Coinbase, etc.)
Withdraw it to your Exodus wallet address
This is the fastest and most reliable method
Ask Friends or Community
Many people are willing to help with small gas fees
Be transparent about your situation
Use a Bridge Service
Some platforms allow you to swap tokens even without gas by covering fees themselves
Look for services like 1inch, Paraswap, or similar DEX aggregators

Anyone willing to give me a crumb of BNB? I'll give USDT back.

Came across a BNB Chain memecoin called 牛来, which roughly translates to **“The Bull Is Coming.”**
Yeah, I know. About as subtle as a memecoin gets lol.
Apparently it came from a Chinese animated meme that went viral, and eventually someone turned the narrative into a token.
But the name isn’t actually what made me keep watching it. The price action after the initial hype is more interesting.
It ran from around $0.026 to above $0.045, pulled back, and is now hovering around the $0.04 area instead of immediately giving the whole move back. Volume also seems to be holding up reasonably well.
With small memecoins, I usually expect a move like that to end in either another momentum spike or a brutal round-trip. So far, this seems to be doing neither.
Obviously there’s no fundamental valuation argument here. I’m more interested in the market structure after a move like this.
For those who trade these setups: what would you look for to distinguish consolidation from distribution?
Volume holding up? Higher lows? Order book depth?
Or is trying to read structure on a post-pump memecoin mostly astrology?

Came across 牛来(Niu Lai) while browsing BNB Chain memes.
The name basically means “The Bull Is Coming”, which is almost too perfect for crypto lol.
It apparently started with a Chinese animated film that went viral, then made its way onchain and went vertical. I checked it again today and it’s now trading on MEXC, sitting around $0.04 after touching roughly $0.045.
Obviously the easy early entry is gone, but what caught my attention is that it hasn’t completely round-tripped yet. After a move that big, I usually expect these things to either keep going parabolic or give most of it back pretty quickly.
This one seems to be hanging around instead.
The narrative is probably more interesting to me than the chart anyway. Most memecoins need a whole paragraph of lore before the joke makes sense. This one is basically a viral Chinese meme whose name happens to translate into one of crypto’s favorite phrases.
That obviously doesn’t mean it keeps going. Meme momentum can disappear overnight, especially after a huge first move.
But I am curious whether this stays mostly a Chinese/BNB Chain thing or whether the joke is simple enough to spread into the wider crypto crowd.
Does “The Bull Is Coming” have enough meme value to travel, or is this already near peak attention?
Anyone here been following 牛来 since before the pump?

We got Fake NFTs, bored apes were all fake digital images that were being speculated on. Real NFTs is more like what collector's crypt is doing. Real marketplace with real collectibles. Just my 2 cents but it's evolving in the right direction. Never thought i would be saying that but I think SOL is undervalued. It is so cheap to use and people are actually building stuff on it, perhaps BNB as well. Eth is just too expensive to use, Although it would be a good competitor for that specific market. I could be wrong but sol at 70 looks damn cheap to me.

For anyone playing with (or curious about) TapeOut on BNB Chain: A “tapeout” is when you finish designing a digital circuit from NAND + LATCH transistors and permanently mint it on-chain as an ERC-721.
The circuit becomes a real, callable piece of on-chain logic (adders, SHA-256, even small CPUs, etc.).
This cool Telegram bot makes it easy actually to see those circuits. Just send it a transaction hash or a full BscScan link, and it draws a clean schematic with transistor count, logic depth, inputs, and more.
Pretty useful if you want to inspect what other people have built instead of reading raw bytecode.

I have been in crypto a long time, CRO actually has more use than 99% of these other cryptos. Yes it is controlled by the owners so it’s not viewed favorably by customers atm with decisions they have made, but on the flip side they have a lot to lose if everything falls apart. Plus I think people forget about all the good things they have done. I saw someone come in and compare BNB to CRO, but do they not remember when everyone was panic pulling crypto out of exchanges and Binance had to halt transfers and it became transparent they do not have near the amount of BTC, Eth and other cryptos they said they had saved. The only exchange that stayed open and were transparent during that crash was Crypto.com. Try and think of the good as well as the bad.
