Recently, the BNB Chain ecosystem has heated up again. After the Binance Alpha platform detonated on-chain participation, the transaction volume and active addresses on the BNB Chain ushered in rapid growth. On May 19, Binance Wallet's single-day trading volume reached $5 billion, accounting for 95.3% of the share of the 12 major mainstream wallets, setting a record high.

One of the core drivers of this outbreak is Binance Alpha's "low threshold + high incentive" guidance for Web3 projects. Users can interact on-chain without a wallet, participating in token presales and airdrops, driving the popularity of the Alpha project after its launch. Under this wave of Alpha + Meme two-wheel drive, several tokens have achieved a surge in trading volume in a short period of time.

The following is a brief breakdown of the 10 most actively traded tokens and their projects on the BNB Chain.

1. $B (BUILDon)

24H Trading Volume: $3.7 Billion
Market Cap: $1.7 Billion

24H Transactions: 54,639

BUILDon is a meme coin on the BNB Chain with a lion as its mascot, initially issued through the Fourmeme platform. At first, the market value was only a few million dollars, until mid-May, when the project announced that it would bind USD1 and jointly hold a trading competition, the trading activity reached an inflection point.

After its alpha launch, the trading link directly pointed to $B, which attracted market attention. Today, $B has become one of USD1's main liquidity pools and is officially supported by WLFI, with a market capitalization of over $400 million at its peak, making it the most strategic project in Meme on the BNB Chain.

2. $B 2 (B² Network)

After Binance Alpha detonated traffic, established community tokens also re-entered the market field, $KOGE took advantage of the momentum to rise, with trading volume exceeding $1 billion.

4. $RWA (Allo)

24H Trading Volume: $101 Million
Market Cap: $23.2 Million

Active Users: 7,129
24H Transactions: 111,542

Merlin Chain is a Bitcoin L2 project supported by Bitmap, building metaverse, DeFi and other applications based on BTC layer assets, positioning itself to "make Bitcoin interesting again".

As one of the first round of trading and launch projects on Binance Alpha, $MERL continues to attract an influx of funds with the dual support of ecological narrative and platform support.

6. $SKYAI (SKYAI)

24H Trading Volume: $90.5 Million
Market Cap: $56.8 Million
Active Users: 5,600
24H transactions: 130,724

Lorenzo Protocol is a modular Bitcoin L2 infrastructure based on Babylon, supporting smart contract execution and USD1 liquidity access, emphasizing security and asset compatibility.

Currently, it

belongs to the USD1 strategic expansion camp with BUILDon, and with the help of narrative resonance, $BANK has successfully obtained the traffic dividend of the Alpha platform.

8. $AIOT (OKZOO)

24H Trading Volume: $59.3 million
Cap: $16.7 million
Users: 5,234
24H Transactions: 66,038

OKZOO is a project that combines AIoT, DePIN, and GameFi to collect environmental data through P-mini hardware, and users can be rewarded with $AIOT tokens.

The project has independent hardware manufacturing capabilities, with more than 10 million ecological users, and the V2 virtual pet quickly became popular after its launch, becoming a star project in the evolution direction of DePIN.

9–10. $CZPizza / $PizzaCZ

$CZPizza

24H Trading Volume: $6.4 million

of Active Users: 1,146
Number of Transactions: 5,197

$PizzaCZ

24H Trading Volume: $790,000
Market Cap: $340,000
Users: 1,089
Transactions: 1,588

Both meme coins originated from CZ's tweet on May 22 about changing avatars, which the community jokingly dubbed a modern version of "Pizza Day." By tying emoji culture to high-profile topics, they quickly become short-term speculative hotspots, but lack technical or application support, and are typical follow-up assets.

Summary: Alpha-driven ecological hotspot rotation

From Meme narrative to AI Infra, from Bitcoin L2 to DePIN environmental data collection, these tokens are not only behind traffic, but also reflect that the Binance Alpha platform is guiding the structural ecological renewal of the BNB Chain.

Through TGEs, airdrops, and Alpha Points incentives, Alpha has achieved a "low threshold participation + high return expectation" participation method, allowing high-quality projects to gain early attention and promoting the full activity of on-chain trading behavior.

The next wave of BNB Chain's narrative may already be quietly unfolding in these trading leaderboard tokens.
