BNB Traders tracked the operation of CZ wallet and turned US$9600 into US$282,000 in 5 hours.
On August 16, a trader destroyed a batch of MARSCOIN tokens by observing Zhao Changpeng (CZ)'s public wallet, and bought the same token at the moment the destruction occurred, turning approximately US$9600 into approximately US$282,000 in less than five hours.
On-chain tracking data shows that the wallet became the single address with the highest profit in MARSCOIN transactions that day. This transaction has also become a typical case, reflecting how closely some traders now pay attention to every chain operation of CZ.
How does the transaction operate?
At 16:12:55 Beijing time on the 16th, CZ's wallet sent 4444 MARSCOINs to a destruction address on the BNB chain. This is a regular destruction transaction, with a Gas fee of less than a penny. In the next block immediately following (one second later), wallet 0x30f1…da577b bought 84.6 million MARSCOIN with 16 BNBs (valued at approximately $9600 at the time).
To grab that block, the trader paid a Gas fee of about $9.9, hundreds of times the normal rate, just to gain priority over other traders who responded to the destruction. Instead of waiting for the price to move, they almost immediately sold half of their positions (42.3 million tokens) in exchange for about 16.4 BNBs, not only recovering the principal, but also having a slight surplus.
On-chain trackers describe this operation as a "double and recover principal" strategy, a layout that makes remaining positions risk-free no matter what happens next. Since then, traders gradually sold the remaining tokens and conducted them in dozens of small transactions instead of selling them in one go, allowing the price of MARSCOIN to continue to rise while cashing out in batches. By the end of the transaction, the wallet was holding 465 BNBs (nearly $282,000) through the sale of tokens, while the MARSCOIN balance had just returned to zero. Chain trackers point out that the total return is about 29 times the trader's original principal.
This model has pros and cons
Not everyone who follows the same signal makes money. Another trader (wallet 0xacbf) bought 6.15 million MARSCOINs with US$133,000 USDT immediately after the destruction occurred, but two hours later, when CZ said it would stop using the wallet and the tokens plummeted more than 90%, the trader sold them all at approximately US$22,400.
CZ responded directly to the destruction, saying that he was testing Trust Wallet and found that his address was filled with memes that people were constantly sending, so he tried to destroy some to clean up the account, but the transparency of the blockchain turned a domestic affair into a market event. His plan now is, in his own words: "I will stop using this address." He has issued similar warnings before. In January this year, after traders flocked to meme tokens related to his casual jokes, CZ publicly stated that imitating his random posts as trading signals often ended poorly, and MARSCOIN's recent fluctuations also confirmed this.
