CZ has said he was simply using the Trust Wallet app for routine spam-token cleanup on an address market participants had started watching for clues. Speculators read the burns of two unrelated, third-party BNB Chain tokens as a sign of intent, and one unofficial Marscoin clone spiked from a $40,000 market cap to $30 million, a gain of more than 30,000%, before collapsing back to roughly $5.26 million once the burns were revealed as routine housekeeping.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more I burn, the more people will send meme coins to the address,\u201d CZ acknowledged, describing a feedback loop he said he couldn\u2019t easily stop. Rather than keep managing the attention, CZ moved his legitimate BNB holdings to Giggle Academy, his education-focused charity, and converted the wallet into a permanent burn address, closing it to future transactions entirely.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t the first time CZ\u2019s public activity has moved memecoin markets, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/meme-coin-warning-cz-foresees-pain-for-some-traders-chasing-viral-coins\/\">first time he\u2019s had to publicly warn traders<\/a> against reading too much into his posts.
