Meanwhile, the third largest contributor of DEX trading volume is none other than another meme coin launchpad on BNB Chain, Four.meme.

As of Oct. 8, Four.meme has generated about $139.15 million in daily trading volume on-chain. Meanwhile, its 30-day DEX trading volume hinges just below $1 billion, with $815 million in total.

BSC traders reap 70% profits from meme coin season

Meme coin season has officially begun on the BNB Chain, with former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao announcing it through his X account. The founder seemed surprised at the turn of events, considering just a few months ago meme coins were mostly backed by Solana ( SOL ) and launched through platforms like Pump.fun.

However most recently, more traders have been gravitating towards BSC to launch and trade their meme coins backed by BNB.

According to on-chain data from BubbleMaps, more than 100,000 on-chain traders have bought new meme coins on BNB Chain. The data shows that about 70% of BNB meme coin traders have gained profit.

One trader made more than $10 million in profit from trading BNB meme coins, meanwhile 44 wallets gained $1 million worth of profit. In addition, around 900 traders made $100,000 by trading BNB meme coins.

However, the majority of traders made only about $1,000 in profit, a relatively small number compared to the total profit made on-chain which amounted to $401 million.

As for losses, two traders lost more than $1 million from trading BNB meme coins. Despite this, only about 4,418 traders experienced losses of about $1,000 by trading meme coins on BSC. This means that the winners still outweigh the losers throughout this meme coin season so far.
