Overview
- On January 13, Changpeng Zhao told followers on X that buying coins spun up from his tweets is "almost guaranteed to lose money."
- He said he enjoys memes but not reckless speculation and added that his tweets are not made with token launches in mind.
- Coverage notes that many meme coins lack real use cases, rely on attention cycles, and often leave retail traders with losses, despite viral hype.
- Reports recall an October 2025 BNB Chain token called "4" that surged after a CZ post, with heavy trading in a low-liquidity pool magnifying early gains.
- Zhao urged research, risk management, and caution around viral trends, warning that quick-profit success stories are outliers.
