Ever since Binance launched gold ($XAU ) and silver ($XAG ),
gold has increased by nearly 24% and silver by nearly 52%.
Since gold was launched on Binance, its market value has increased by 8.4 trillion USD. Since silver was launched on Binance, its market value has increased by 3.2 trillion USD.
You cannot verify its authenticity without damaging the metal.
Hmm, buying coins has always been a horse racing logic.
I usually buy into 5 projects in one round, with $20,000 for each project, calculating the remaining 4 projects as zero at most losing $80,000. For example, I bought river at around $3, and now it is roughly valued at 17 times, totaling $340,000. Although I didn't hold onto all of it completely in between, the overall investment of $100,000 plus the profit from river has already resulted in a quite objective trading outcome.
The funding background for this round $RIVER is a bit strong, first with Old Black and Brother Sun investing $8 million into the market (everyone knows Brother Sun can't possibly lose money!), followed by a batch of VCs continuing to finance at this level, bringing in cash financing in the tens of millions of dollars, with an incredibly strong capital intensity. The market value has now reached $4.6 billion.
From the trend structure, river's current state is somewhat similar to when Sui completed the chip exchange in OTC and then concentrated on pushing the price. It is said that the washout yesterday saw the control ratio jump from 80% to 99%.
This round of river's Kol Agency is managed by @Cipher_Dance, and many Kols are saying this is a god-tier Kol round because basically everyone has made money (except for the prophet hedging). This part may actually be one of the few potential sources of selling pressure in the current market (Tintin wants to hedge at $15, and I said if she wants to short, she should just say what reason she is looking for).

Jia Guolong should come to Binance Square to scold
Kaito has ended, just now Binance Square rewarded 1 BNB for the article by Enheng. The best thing is to come to Binance Square
Binance Square is equivalent to a new place. As long as you have good opinions, you will have traffic, making it convenient for everyone to be a KOL. If not doing Binance Square in 26 years, in 27 years, I’ll have to cry under the covers.
Everyone, please pay attention to my Binance Square
Thank you very much to the two leaders @CY005 Ying Ge for the substantial support to the creators of Binance Square, and also thank you @Yi He for providing such a great platform.

Binance Research Report: 2025 Industry Observations and 2026 Outlook for the Future (A must-read for beginners, the password is within)
Combining Binance Research's review of 2025 and outlook for 2026, one can actually see a very clear change; #BNB is no longer just a platform token but is gradually evolving into a core node connecting institutional capital and hundreds of millions of users through the actual growth of BNBChain and Binance's global compliance process. This change is first reflected in the real usage data of BNBChain. The growth of BNBChain in 2025 is not driven by a single star application, but rather a stable cycle formed by trading behavior on the chain. The daily trading volume has long maintained at tens of millions, with DEX trading volume increasing by over 160% throughout the year, where retail trading centered around Pancake, meme (fourmeme, Flap), perpsDEX (Aster), and prediction markets (Opinion), Defi (ListaDao, Venus) collectively form a continuously operating on-chain economic engine. This indicates that user behavior has already solidified on-chain.
$BNB days since the last destruction, a total of 81 days, total destruction value 1.277 billion USD
Average daily destruction 15.77 million USD, average per minute destruction 10,950 USD
Corresponding to BNB, average daily destruction 16,936 BNB, average per minute destruction 11.76 BNB
Among them, the Siyuan wallet added 462 BNB worth 43wu, also sent to the black hole for destruction
No wonder Dashibage @CZ didn't care about the gifts yesterday, because BNB is being destroyed at a rate of 10,000 USD per minute, meaning 600,000 USD was destroyed in that one hour of live broadcast
In the latest AMA at Binance Square, Brother Big Table @CZ came out and clearly explained many things at once. Although the information volume is large, the core logic is not complicated.
Regarding memes, CZ was very direct: don't create memes just because CZ or Sister One posted something on X or Binance Square. The success rate of such projects is extremely low—most can't even explain their origins, let alone provide any backing. Randomly associating with them carries extremely high risk.
For beginners, he repeatedly emphasized one point: don't jump straight into futures and options. Start with small amounts, learn how to survive in this market first, and only then consider scaling up. Leverage is not a shortcut—it's just an accelerator.
As for the altcoin season, CZ's stance is clear: it will come, but no one can predict exactly when, how long it will last, or which coins will rise. The altcoin cycle itself is highly nonlinear.
His evaluation of the BNB ecosystem remains stable: large scale, stable structure, and a continuous group of active builders. This is why he has long-term confidence in BNB—not based on short-term price movements.
When discussing prediction markets, CZ was equally honest: this sector is still in its very early stages, with insufficient liquidity and very few market makers. Currently, platforms like Polymarket mainly focus on sports-related events, and it's still far from maturity.
On Bitcoin, he maintains his consistent view: Bitcoin will definitely reach $200,000—what's uncertain is only the timing, not the outcome. This is a long-term belief, not a short-term prediction.
On the topic of memes, he provided a clear criterion: the only memes that truly survive must have historical or cultural significance. Over 90% will eventually go to zero. Participation is a personal choice, and the risk must be borne by the individual.
Finally, he also mentioned the difference between Binance Square and X. Their underlying logic is completely different. It's difficult for X to directly become a crypto trading platform—the KYC requirement is a real barrier. In contrast, Binance Square users have already completed these foundational steps.
Overall, listening to him now makes it clear that CZ's perspective is no longer that of a speculator, but that of a builder. He doesn't expect to get rich quickly through memes, but rather focuses on continuously refining tools and systems so the market can grow organically.
As soon as the market opened, I was right there, looking up and seeing all sorts of黑马 flying around, feeling like I'd already won when the price was rising, but then realizing this is just Binance life—drawing my life's K-line one candle at a time. When it goes up, they call me the chosen one; when it drops, I just console myself that taking losses is part of the game. If your position gets messy, don't rush to cut your losses—wait for the next wave of emotion, maybe you'll be able to shout 'I love you, old buddy' at the market again.
BNBChain's first year, hmm, the year my life truly broke out of its shell.
Looking back at 2025, I increasingly believe in one thing: fate knocks on your door repeatedly. Whether you reach out is up to you. This year, I started with 15 BNB, and by the end of the year, I could securely put 2000 BNB into fixed deposits (not counting floating profits, U, BTC, and other funds). This is just the starting point; my life will be more exciting and broader. I am a child from an ordinary family. When I first entered crypto, my goal was just to achieve basic living standards and independence, no longer relying on my family's support. Crypto gave me that opportunity. In three years, I have learned many things, and I know I have surpassed more than 90% of the financial professionals trained step by step in traditional finance. Because we are not replicating history; we are participating in creating something new. The finance in books is more about basics and summaries, while crypto is the reality that is happening. What truly changed the trajectory of my life was the time after I encountered BNB Chain. It allowed me to achieve a leap in understanding and results in a real sense for the first time. Looking back now, I have surpassed most of my relatives in terms of results. This is an objective outcome of an ordinary person changing their fate by seizing the opportunities of the times. That’s why I sincerely thank BNB Chain, a place that offers ordinary people the chance to change their destiny. Why wouldn't I be grateful?
I casually mentioned that the market value fluctuated by 300,000 USD, which is a bit exaggerated. This space feels more like a 'misprint space' to me; I said one sentence and didn't expect such a big reaction, just like a misprinted stamp that wasn't in the plan.
My biggest feeling this time is that narrative is really transitioning from meme to prediction market. A sentence like @CZ used to be considered from a narrative perspective, spawning countless meme discussions. Now, the same sentence might directly turn into a curve in the prediction market, such as betting on whether he will mention bnb or aster, causing the market to fluctuate accordingly.
The true highlights of this live stream were actually two prediction market projects on Demo Day, and their paths were completely different.
The gameplay of predictdotfun is very straightforward; it bets on which keywords CZ will mention, with each word corresponding to a yes or no market, expressing consensus through odds.
42space, on the other hand, is a completely different approach. Leo has always emphasized that they are different from traditional prediction markets, and I was initially wondering where the difference lay until I got on stage and my friends sent me some insights. What they are doing is not win/loss settlement, but rather the pump of the prediction market is the market value curve, which reflects the changes in market value formed around event consensus. The moment I got on stage, the curve directly amplified 80 times, equivalent to turning 1,000 U into 80 times the space. The biggest difference from traditional prediction markets is that there is no win or loss, only market value.
Currently, there is also attention on the prediction market created by PancakeSwap and the absolute leader in opinion, which has the highest trading volume, depth, and number of active users.
From the results, this space can be considered a very successful online Demo Day PR for yzilabs. Everyone's attention was naturally focused, and this kind of real experiment is inherently more persuasive than any roadshow.
Likes for ellazhang516, cyodyssey, yunna025, 0xRickyW. This way of testing products in a real context shows how diverse prediction markets can be.
Thank you Ai Aunt for sharing! Continue to add positions $ASTER , the ecology and products are both advancing, the community power is limitless, @CZ big brother, your holding cost is 0.913, I helped you lower the average price to 0.7064 this time, shall we Keep Build together? The AMA the day before yesterday had to skip your question due to WiFi being too decentralized, it wasn't finished, so let's support the community in another way.
The investment logic of many people is fundamentally misaligned.
Clearly, when others buy the same thing, you must decide whether to follow, but your reactions to different entities are completely polarized. An ordinary shout-out blogger casually yells a few words, and you immediately rush in. When a wild庄 suddenly pulls up strongly, you also immediately go all in. When a small庄 says they once operated a 50 million project, you immediately chase it like a belief.
But when it comes to someone like CZ, who has truly experienced the peak and built an empire, when someone who can turn $BNB into an industry-level asset personally pays attention, shares, and buys ASTER, you start to hesitate, doubt, and fear. This is a complete logical confusion.
When $ASTER opened at 0.08, hmm, seeing CZ's intensive actions beforehand, it was clear that this line was not the specification of a small project, so layout began. By 0.17, Big Brother publicly praised it for the first time, and the trend was truly ignited from that moment. Big Brother also bought 2 million dollars at the 0.9 dollar position, and hmm still holds, because the long-term logic has always been strengthened.
But many people still cannot understand this point. The loudest voices come from small bloggers. They give you short-term excitement, but the one with real strength is CZ, who can give you direction, pattern, and cycle.
As a result, you handed over your position to the person who can most easily exploit you, yet you do not dare to follow the one who understands the industry best and can take you through the cycles.
The platform tokens have all pulled back today, with one exception
$ASTER has become the only platform token to rise in 24 hours, +7.3%, directly surpassing OKB in market value
Among the platform tokens, $BNB still holds the throne, with an ecosystem that supports the entire track. $ASTER is continuously climbing up through real income buybacks and has firmly entered the first position of the second tier, while OKB's trend continues to decline, and its presence in the sector is becoming weaker
The essence is quite simple: ASTER relies on on-chain income buybacks, OKB relies on Wang Duan Niao crying every day, and BNB depends on the strongest ecosystem in the entire industry
The gap is being recognized by the market, and the positions are quietly changing. The landscape of platform tokens is already very clear: BNB is the leader, ASTER is the next star with the most investment value, and OKB is being distanced by the times
