Token Talk
By Francisco Rodrigues
Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao’s dog has been the talk of the town. After revealing he had the pet and being bombarded with requests for information, he eventually gave in, knowing memecoins would be launched.
Zhao shared a picture of himself with the Belgian malinois named Broccoli in a lengthy post that inspired a slew of memecoins. These tokens, trading under the ticker BROCCOLI, debuted both BNB Chain and Solana.
Some saw significant price rises right after their introduction to reach billion-dollar-plus market caps as traders rushed in. As the hype faded, so did the prices. Fortunes were made and sold over Broccoli.
One trader, for example, spent less than $1,000 to create a token inspired by the dog and started selling the tokens just two minutes later. The trader managed to make $6.5 million on the launch.
