October is normally a strong month for Bitcoin, but this year marks a shift as BNB takes the spotlight. The term “Uptober,” typically linked to Bitcoin’s performance, began promisingly before trade tensions and funding deadlocks dulled the atmosphere. In contrast, BNB, the token of Binance’s ecosystem, broke records by reaching new highs multiple times throughout the month, partially fueled by a surge in memecoin trading and the effectiveness of its Aster platform.

On October 4, a notable incident where a cryptocurrency wallet transformed an investment of $3,000 into $2 million occurred right after Zhao promoted a memecoin, indicating a rising trend in BNB Chain’s memecoin market. With a remarkable shift, BNB Chain’s innovative projects like Four.meme began outperforming existing memecoin platforms, signifying BNB’s growing popularity.

However, this success comes as disputes circulate regarding Binance’s involvement in a significant market crash responsible for substantial losses across the cryptocurrency scene. Allegations surrounding a malfunctioning price oracle and the resultant fallout have led to criticisms about Binance’s operational stability. Even with these challenges, BNB strives ahead, marking a significant ascent during one of Bitcoin’s more difficult periods.
