Binance founder CZ has unexpectedly influenced the memecoin market after revealing his dog’s name, Broccoli.
This simple announcement triggered a surge of Broccoli-themed memecoins, rapidly launching on platforms like Solana and BSC as traders rushed to capitalize on the hype.
One anonymous investor, recognizing the opportunity, quickly acquired nearly all Broccoli-related tokens, making a bold speculative move.
According to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, this strategic purchase and subsequent distribution across multiple wallets led to a staggering $27.8 million profit. The trader later converted all holdings into USDT, locking in substantial gains from the frenzy.

The Broccoli token’s meteoric rise and the massive windfall it generated underscore how speculative and fast-moving the digital asset space can be.
