An accidental reveal in a tutorial video led to the unexpected rise of test token $TST, triggered by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao's (CZ) comments on social media.
Video that Sparked a Token Rally
In the early hours of Thursday, February 6th, a tutorial video by a BNB Chain team member inadvertently sparked a memecoin frenzy. The video was meant to demonstrate token creation on the Four.Meme platform but accidentally revealed the test token $TST, setting off a chain of events in the crypto market.
From Test Token to Trading Phenomenon
The situation escalated quickly when a Chinese Key Opinion Leader discovered the token and began actively promoting it, driving its market capitalization to $500,000 before CZ's involvement.
CZ's Response and Market Impact
In his post, CZ made crucial clarifications: the creator's private key was deleted, no BNB Chain team members hold $TST, and the token is unofficially associated with BNB Chain. Despite stating, 'This is NOT an endorsement from me for the token,' CZ's mention led to a significant market reaction.
This unusual incident illustrates how quickly cryptocurrency markets can react to social media and how influential figures can drive market behaviors. The future of $TST remains uncertain: will it become a lasting meme coin or just a footnote in crypto history?
