On January 11, 2026, at 8:00 AM UTC+8, an ordinary on-chain address 0xf380 staked 0.1 BNB (approximately $85) on the Chinese meme coin "I’m Coming," achieving an extreme return of approximately $146,600, about 1720 times in a short period. This transaction, which started with a nearly negligible amount of funds, was fully recorded on-chain: from the initial position, partial sell-off to cash out, to the large remaining holdings, it constitutes a symbolic sample in the current Chinese meme craze. As the related funding curves and profit screenshots spread on social media, market sentiment was quickly ignited, FOMO layered among retail investors, and more participants began to treat this almost gambling-like trading as a "successful model." However, behind this, the high-risk meme game is not isolated but tightly bound to a new generation of on-chain trading terminals, automated monitoring tools, and strategic hunting methods, blurring the boundaries between luck and data betting with each "miraculous order" story.
From 0.1 BNB to Hundreds of Thousands: From Testing the Waters to 1720 Times the Impact
According to publicly available on-chain data, the entire trading path of 0xf380 is clearly visible: he first used 0.1 BNB to build a position, buying 6.25 million "I’m Coming" tokens. After the token price surged significantly, he chose to sell 1.53 million of them, exchanging for 34.88 BNB (approximately $31,500), locking in a profit substantial enough to change his account curve at a very low cost. However, this was not the end of the story. On-chain records show that he still holds approximately 4.72 million tokens, with a current estimated market value of about $115,000, meaning his realized gains and unrealized profits total approximately $146,600, pushing the return rate to about 1720 times from the initial 0.1 BNB. Throughout the timeline, 0xf380 did not frequently enter and exit but completed this extreme amplified trade through a one-time heavy position, partial profit-taking, and patiently "all-in holding" the rest.
Such cases of leveraging small capital to achieve huge returns are not unprecedented in past meme cycles, but 0xf380's story remains particularly dramatic: on one hand, 0.1 BNB is almost a "lottery" level bet for most on-chain participants, yet it unexpectedly turned into an enviable wealth curve; on the other hand, any slight timing error or an emotional premature cash-out would make this 1720 times myth vanish. The intertwining of chance, luck, and extreme market conditions makes it seem both like a gift of the times and an illusion that is nearly impossible for most to replicate.
From Market to Prey: Meme Hunting Driven by On-Chain Terminals
To many observers, 0xf380's explosive profits seem more like a collision of luck, but if we zoom out, we find that such miraculous orders are gradually being tied to tool-based, data-driven on-chain hunting methods. According to a single source, 1Keeper has completed its transformation into a pure on-chain trading terminal, focusing on real-time monitoring and capturing of meme coins. This shift itself reflects the current market's focus on high-volatility assets. On-chain terminals like 1Keeper are constructing a new information battlefield: they track new contract deployments, monitor liquidity pool injections, and observe concentrated buying behaviors from large addresses, piecing together the scattered clues on the blockchain into an operable "prey profile" using a complete set of data signals.
In such an environment, miraculous orders like 0xf380 are no longer just stories of "buying the right coin at the right time"; they are naturally embedded in a broader narrative: as more traders learn to use terminals to filter new coins, subscribe to whale addresses, and automate buying, the so-called "betting on luck" begins to give way to "betting on who can read the data faster." However, this tool brings not only one-way benefits; while it lowers the entry threshold and allows more people to track the same batch of targets, it also significantly accelerates the speed of capital inflow and outflow, amplifying price volatility. Liquidity rapidly rotates among small-cap memes, pushing the rhythm of surges and crashes to extremes, and behind every seemingly perfect hunting story are numerous failed samples that couldn't escape in time.
Retail Investors' Moment: FOMO Amplified in Memes and Screenshots
The Chinese meme "I’m Coming," with its strong emotional connotation, endows this market trend with a communicative energy beyond mere numbers. Within the community, screenshots of large profits, trading records from the 0xf380 address, and the 1720 times return are constantly shared, combined with memes, jokes, and Chinese references, creating a dramatic public frenzy. The name itself carries a rough emotion of "charging into the table," and after being shouted out and re-created multiple times, it gradually binds with psychological hints like "as long as you dare to get on board, there’s a chance" and "if you don’t get on, you’ll miss out," making it hard for those who have not participated to remain emotionally calm.
Once such stories enter the content factory of social media, they are hard to exist in their original form. The key figures of starting with 0.1 BNB, achieving $146,600 in profits, and a 1720 times return are frequently repeated, combined with narrative templates like "ordinary people turning their fortunes around" and "small capital making a comeback," continuously processed into short videos, long images, and lengthy posts. Retail investors no longer see a complete risk distribution but rather edited highlight moments. As some market voices say, this case "has become a typical representative of recent meme coin trading," and its demonstrative effect far exceeds the single transaction itself, leading more people to use it as a reference point while ignoring the countless silent samples of "0.1 BNB going to zero" behind it. Ironically, this speculative frenzy driven by emotion and memes starkly contrasts with the reality that most participants know almost nothing about the projects themselves: very few genuinely care about contract characteristics, liquidity risks, or holding structures; the vast majority of discussions revolve around "can it multiply again" and "is it too late to get in now," with value judgments completely yielding to the imagination of short-term gains.
Public Chain Popularity and Speculative Whirlwind: The Misalignment of Technical Foundations and Emotional Bubbles
On a more macro level, the popularity of "I’m Coming" and the myth of 0xf380 have reignited discussions about "the need to distinguish between the practicality of public chains and the logic of token investment." Some viewpoints (according to PANews, citing the CEO of Nansen, pending further verification) point out that the technical value and application prospects of the chain itself, and the price performance of tokens issued on it, are often two different curves. Specifically regarding the current meme frenzy, this misalignment is becoming increasingly apparent: the progress of underlying public chains in terms of expansion, address growth, and developer ecology does not directly determine the rise and fall of individual memes, while the explosion of memes is continuously packaged into proof of "public chain ecological prosperity."
In the BNB ecosystem, recent activity around memes has been particularly prominent, with a large number of small-cap tokens being deployed, pumped, and rotated in a short time, rapidly accumulating on-chain trading frequency, gas consumption, and community attention. A subtle relationship forms between the technical route and on-chain speculation: the former provides higher throughput and lower transaction costs, while the latter transforms this "high performance" into more frequent chip exchanges and more intense price battles. For meme markets, public chain performance is more often treated as a solid and cheap "casino foundation": as long as the foundation is stable enough and the ticket price is low enough, what truly drives the chips to fly is no longer TPS, development toolchains, or long-term applications, but the narrative of capital and collective emotion itself. The 1720 times miraculous order of 0xf380 is an extreme embodiment built on such a foundation, telling the market "how many more stories this chain can tell," rather than "what long-term applications can emerge from this chain."
Another Story on the Same Day: Tool Upgrades and Regulatory Tightening in Parallel
It is worth noting that at the same time the extreme speculative miraculous order of 0xf380 was widely circulated, market infrastructure and regulatory sides were quietly promoting another direction of evolution. According to a single source, the compliant trading platform HashKey Global launched a contract grid trading feature, providing users with more strategic and automated derivative trading tools. The emergence of such features means that even in a highly regulated on-site environment, high-frequency and strategic trading is still seen as an important direction for the future, as institutions and compliant platforms attempt to provide efficiency advantages similar to on-chain tools through parameterization and automation within the rules.
On the same day, Tether was also reported to have frozen $182 million USDT (according to a single source), sending a broader signal of ongoing tightening in regulation and risk control. On one side, there are contract grids and automated strategies continuously upgrading at the table, attempting to tame volatility with controllable parameters; on the other side, there is direct freezing and cleaning of suspected high-risk capital flows, reinforcing the deterrent effect on "capital operating in gray areas." Placing these two lines alongside the 0xf380 meme miraculous order on the same timeline reveals a clear tension: on one end is the high-leverage emotional frenzy on the public chain, betting on extreme market conditions and individual luck; on the other end is the reality of refined tools, precise regulation, and gradually tightening infrastructure, attempting to reduce overall financial risk at the systemic level. The simultaneous progression of revelry and net tightening forms the most authentic silhouette of the current crypto market.
After the Myth: Most People Only Buy at High Prices
As the noise gradually fades, the story of 0xf380 leveraging 0.1 BNB to achieve approximately $146,600 and garner about 1720 times return will be long remembered in various reviews of meme cycles, becoming a "classic case" to be revisited in the next bull market cycle. However, one must recognize that the reason such stories are so eye-catching is precisely because they are extreme and nearly unreplicable; statistically, most participants will not reach the moment of "screenshotting at the curve's peak." For more latecomers, what they are likely to experience is rushing to the table when community FOMO is strongest and the narrative is most saturated, taking on chips that have already increased several times or even dozens of times, bearing the primary risk of downward regression.
With the popularization of on-chain trading terminals and automated strategy tools, it may seem that ordinary users have gained more capabilities akin to "professional players": they can track new coins in real-time, monitor large addresses, and set automated buy and sell parameters, as if mastering these panels and indicators would allow them to become the next 0xf380 in the next meme windfall. However, the reality is that information asymmetry and risk diffusion are also intensifying simultaneously: those who are skilled in using tools enter the market earlier and retreat faster, while retail investors who realize changes a step late often only see prices but fail to notice liquidity quietly withdrawing. Tools raise the ceiling for profits but also smash the floor for losses, exacerbating polarization.
Returning to the reminder that "the practicality of public chains and the logic of token investment need to be distinguished," the myth of 0xf380 once again proves that what short-term meme games narrate is more about chips, narratives, and emotions rather than judgments on the long-term value of underlying infrastructure. Public chains are tested over time for security, performance, and ecological sedimentation, while memes provide participants with a series of high-volatility games. In the foreseeable future, memes will not disappear from this market; new names, new references, new screenshots, and new rounds of FOMO will continue to unfold. However, in the next widely circulated story, you are more likely to be a bystander scrolling through posts in front of the screen or a participant picking up chips at high prices, rather than the one who wrote the myth with 0.1 BNB.
