CZ’s Meme Coin Frenzy Sparks Concerns
Meanwhile, another Binance co-founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), recently caused a stir in the crypto community with a seemingly innocuous post featuring his dog, Broccoli. The post led to a dramatic surge in BNB trading volume and sparked the rise of meme coins related to the dog, though most of these tokens have since lost value.
