Binance’s CZ Warns: Don’t ‘Ape Into’ Meme Tokens Blindly Now

Binance CEO CZ Urges Traders to Stop ‘Aping’ into Meme Coins Inspired by His Social Media

  • Changpeng Zhao warned followers not to buy every meme token that appears after his tweets, saying this is a high-risk strategy.
  • Several meme coins tied to his posts have surged quickly to large valuations and then collapsed.
  • BROCCOLI reached a multi-million dollar market cap and peaked at $0.258 before falling about 90%.
  • SZN jumped roughly 3,400% to a $15 million valuation and has since lost about 99.2% of its value.
  • The recent WTML token rose about 400% in a day after Zhao called some meme ideas “sticky” and is now about 10% below its record high.

Changpeng Zhao, founder and former CEO of Binance, posted Tuesday on X and warned followers not to buy meme tokens based solely on his tweets, stated in a post. He wrote, “I am not against meme coins, I like memes,” and added, “But if you are going to ape into every meme coin people create based on my random tweets, you are almost guaranteed to lose money.”

Earlier social posts have repeatedly triggered token launches and rapid price moves. In February 2025, a post revealing his dog’s name, Broccoli, led to hundreds of tokens using that name. Zhao told the community, “Let the best [coin] in the community win.” The top BROCCOLI token briefly reached a multi-million dollar market cap and a peak price of $0.258 before dropping about 90%.

A similar event occurred with SZN, which launched after Zhao expressed surprise at its existence. He commented, “BNB meme SZN I didn’t expect this at all. And people keep asking me to predict the future. Keep building.” The token surged roughly 3,400% to a $15 million valuation and has since lost about 99.2% of its value.

The most recent example involved WTML, which gained momentum after Zhao described some meme-driven ideas as “sticky.” WTML climbed roughly 400% within a day and currently sits about 10% below its record high. Meanwhile, the BNB token moved about 1.2% higher in the past 24 hours, even as retail sentiment shifted from extremely bullish a week ago to extremely bearish.
