BNB Chain's meme token TST unexpectedly became popular this month. The token was originally just a token deployed on the BNB Chain team's ecosystem launch platform four.meme as a video demonstration, but after explained the situation in a retweet on the 6th, the hype increased significantly, driving a massive surge in the TST token price. The subsequent listing of TST spot on Binance on the 9th further fueled the momentum, with TST's market cap reaching as high as over $600 million that day.
Against the backdrop of the TST incident, the BNB Chain has sparked a meme token craze, leading to a significant increase in on-chain trading volume. Subsequently, revealed the name of his pet Broccoli last week, which led to the emergence of hundreds of Broccoli-themed meme tokens, further attracting market capital to flow into the BNB Chain.

This statement has led the market to speculate that it may trigger another phenomenon-level event similar to TST. Once the tutorial video is released, a large number of investors may rush in to explore the AI Agent tokens featured in the BNB Chain's official video, attempting to position themselves early.
At that time, the market may see a wave of BNB Chain-based AI Agent token hype. If the BNB Chain team does issue an official AI Agent token, it could once again drive the vitality of the BNB Chain ecosystem, leading to the emergence of more AI Agent tokens on the chain, becoming a new market focus.
As for the community's speculation, responded on Twitter that:
Not trying to push any specific AI agent tokens. But want to see more AI agent development on chain, with real use cases. Real development often happen AFTER the hype has passed.
