TST Token, Created by the Binance Team as a Test, Goes Viral

He called the situation tricky.

CZ mentioned that at one point in the video, the token’s name was revealed. Shortly after, a Chinese community KOL (Key Opinion Leader) started trading and promoting the token. Before long, TST’s market cap soared above $494,000.

Following this, a Binance team member deleted the video.

However, CZ believes the tutorial should be restored.

I recommended they put the video tutorial back. It is what it is. This is NOT an endorsement from me for the token.

CZ wrote. 

He also clarified that the team member deleted the private keys for the creator address, which held 0.13% of the total token supply.

Therefore, TST is not an official token by the BNB Chain team. CZ stated that no one on the team held any of the tokens and that it was nothing more than a test token.

A Wallet Made $1.2 Million With $TST 

According to Lookonchain, one wallet address made a $1.2 million profit trading the $TST token.

First, they bought 54 million $TST tokens with just 4 BNB, valued at $2,353. When the price dropped, the wallet sold a portion of its tokens but later bought back in after CZ tweeted about TST.

The Ease of Launching Memecoins

Platforms like Pump.fun and Four.meme have made it incredibly easy for anyone to launch and trade memecoins.

The original video, which you can see on CZ’s X thread, demonstrates how users can create a token on the BNB Chain using the Four.meme platform. The process is simple:

1. Connect a Trust Wallet to the platform.
2. Select “Create Token.”
3. Input details like the token’s name, ticker symbol, description, and image.
4. Click “Create Token” – and that’s it.

The Wild Ride of Memecoin Trading

The TST story is a perfect example of how memecoins can take off out of nowhere—but it also highlights the risks of trading them.

These tokens are often driven by hype rather than real value, which means their prices can skyrocket one minute and crash the next. One viral tweet or influencer mention can send them soaring, but the momentum can disappear just as fast.

On top of that, the ease of creating memecoins on platforms like Four.meme and Pump.fun makes the space a playground for both opportunity and danger. Scams, rug pulls, and pump-and-dump schemes are common, and many of these coins have little to no actual utility.

If you're jumping into the memecoin game, remember—what goes up fast can come down even faster. Always do your own research and never invest more than you’re willing to lose.
