Sometimes crypto writes the best stories all by itself. The latest one? A meme coin on BNB called “4.” Yes, just the number.
How it Started
It all started with a hack. The official BNB Chain X account got compromised, and the attacker posted fake airdrops with phishing links. Victims lost a few thousand dollars, and the hacker walked away with about 8k in stolen funds. Instead of quietly cashing out, they decided to launch a meme coin called “4.”
And then it gets even funnier.
The hacker pumped the “4” token, then rugged it almost immediately, netting about 4k profit. You’d think that would be the end of the story. A short-lived scam, nothing new in crypto. But this time the community wasn’t done. After the rug, traders piled in, and the coin actually started pumping.
At one point, the “4” coin hit a market cap of 30 million. Right now, it’s hovering below 20 million. Not bad for something that was supposed to be a quick scam.
CZ enters the game
Adding fuel to the fire, CZ himself joined the fun. And we all saw what he can do with Aster. He posted about the community’s response, calling it one of the funniest comebacks after a rug. The four fingers gesture is already a long-time CZ meme. It’s his way of saying “Ignore FUD” and staying strong. Seeing it come back in the form of an actual meme coin was too perfect.
So here we are. A token born from a hack, rugged by its dev, and resurrected by the very community that was supposed to be the victims. If you ask me, that’s peak crypto comedy.

Final Words
Now, do I think it can run more? Maybe. Meme magic has no rules. It might fade out tomorrow, or it might moon again just because people love the story. I’m not gambling on it myself, but I’ll admit it did catch my attention.
When a hacked account, a fast rug, and CZ’s four fingers all combine into one token, you can’t help but laugh.
