The BNB Chain memecoin ecosystem has a promising new feature with the TST token, which initially started as part of a tutorial video. This material will explain how TST evolved from an educational example to a cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of hundreds of millions of dollars, and what prospects await it.
TST's Success Story
On February 6, 2025, a member of the BNB Chain team was recording a tutorial video on creating tokens using the Four.Meme platform, the main tool for launching memecoins on the BNB Chain. During the video, a test token called TST was created, and its name briefly appeared in one of the frames. This small lapse led to the beginning of a true success story.
Chinese cryptocurrency influencers noticed the token and started talking about it, which led to its value rising to $500,000. The situation escalated when Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) mentioned TST on the social network X (formerly Twitter), which evoked even more interest in the token. Within two days, TST's market capitalization reached nearly $500 million.
TST's Current State
While TST's price has decreased from its peak, it remains a significant player in the memecoin market. At the time of writing, the market value of TST still exceeds $100 million. A website and social media pages for TST have been created, details of which can be found on CoinMarketCap.
Analyzing TST's Tokenomics
TST's tokenomics are simple and transparent due to its launch through Four.Meme. The total supply is capped at 1 billion tokens, all of which are in circulation. More than 25,000 different addresses hold TST tokens. The largest share (63.2%) belongs to a Binance address. The second largest share of 5% is held at the burn address.
There is also an unknown large holder with 3.8% of the total supply, which could raise concerns among investors about potential market downturns.
TST's journey from an educational token to a major memecoin demonstrates how unpredictable the cryptocurrency market can be. While its connection to the BNB Chain and interesting backstory gives it certain advantages, investors should carefully consider the risks before interacting with the token.
