This Trader Turned Rp49 Million into Rp33 Billion in Hours Thanks to Binance CZ Posts!

Jakarta, Pintu News – The story of the trader who turned Rp49 million into Rp33 billion is living proof of how social sentiment and viral narratives can move crypto prices incredibly quickly. However, experts caution that memecoins remain a high-risk asset and are not suitable for all types of investors.

Along with the rising trend of “funny internet money” like “4”, this phenomenon confirms one important thing: in the crypto world, emotions and community can be a bigger market force than traditional economic logic.

1. From Rp49 Million to Rp33 Billion: The Spectacular Story of a Memecoin Trader

The crypto world is once again abuzz with the incredible story of a trader who managed to turn $3,000 into almost $2 million in just a matter of hours, as reported by Cointelegraph (October 5, 2025).

The story began after Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, shared a post on platform X (Twitter) about a new token called “4” on the BNB Chain network. Shortly after the post, the token’s price spiked sharply and created a huge wave in the memecoin market.

2. “4” Token: Born from a Phishing Action, Turned into a Market Phenomenon

According to data from blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, the “4” token was originally created in response to a phishing incident on BNB Chain, where the hackers only made a profit of around $4,000 (Rp66.3 million) before the crypto community made a joke out of it and created a token with the name.

Interestingly, the community actually “retaliated” against the hacker by increasing the price of the token as a symbol of solidarity and humor typical of the crypto world. In a short time, the “4” memecoin became one of the most discussed tokens in the BNB Chain ecosystem.

3. Smart Traders and “Smart Money” Join the Trend

The trader with the wallet address “0x872” is listed as one of the first buyers of the “4” token. According to CoinStats data, his initial investment of just $3,000 has now grown to $2 million, an increase of about 650 times.

Interestingly, this trader only sold a fraction of his tokens and still holds $1.88 million (IDR 31.2 billion) worth of assets. Meanwhile, data from Nansen shows that the “4” token became the third most purchased token by “smart money” traders in the last 24 hours, with a total purchase of nearly $100,000 (Rp1.65 billion) on the BNB Chain network.

4. CZ’s post on X was the main trigger for the price spike

According to Bubblemaps‘ report, the “4” token price spike started just minutes after CZ shared BNB Chain’s post regarding the phishing incident to his 8.9 million followers on the X platform.

In the post, CZ wrote:

“Interestingly, after the hacker sold all his tokens for just $4,000, the community bought them higher as a joke on the hacker.”

The post went viral and triggered a snowball effect, where thousands of traders flocked to buy the “4” token just to get in on the trend. Data from Bubblemaps shows that another wallet bought the token minutes before CZ’s post and made a profit of over $1.5 million (IDR 24.8 billion) in just a few hours.

5. The Memecoin Phenomenon: Between Luck and High Risk

The trader’s story reminds the public of a similar phenomenon that occurred in March 2024, when an investor turned $2,000 (Rp33.1 million) into $43 million (Rp714 billion) through Pepe Coin (PEPE) – although it later dropped 74% in value.

Historical data shows that memecoins such as PEPE coin (PEPE), Dogecoin (DOGE), and now “4”, often experience extreme price spikes due to the virality effect, rather than real utility. Analysts from Bitfinex Research believe that this phenomenon illustrates the psychology of the crypto market, which is driven by narrative and community, not economic fundamentals.

While quick profits can seem tempting, experts warn of the high risks behind it. The memecoin market is often illiquid, highly volatile, and subject to short-term popularity.
