Shayne Coplan - founder and CEO of Polymarket

Shayne Coplan is the founder and CEO of Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform launched in 2020. At 19, he dropped out of NYU’s computer science program to pursue crypto full-time, having first participated in Ethereum’s 2014 ICO when ETH was just $0.30. By 2020, at only 21 and nearly broke, he bootstrapped Polymarket out of a makeshift “bathroom office” in his apartment—drawing inspiration from Friedrich Hayek’s theories on decentralized information and Robin Hanson’s concept of “futarchy” (governance via prediction markets).

Coplan has recently drawn fresh attention from KOLs following his October 7 announcement that ICE invested $2 billion in Polymarket, valuing the company at $9 billion—a 7.5x increase from early 2025.

“We’re proud to announce that $ICE, the owner of @NYSE and the largest exchange company in the world, is making a strategic investment of $2 billion into Polymarket, valuing us at $9 billion post-money.”

Richard Teng - CEO of Binance and a memecoin

Richard Teng is the CEO of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, a position he assumed in November 2023 following founder Changpeng Zhao's (CZ) resignation amid U.S. regulatory settlements. A Singaporean financial veteran with over 30 years in traditional finance, Teng previously served as Chief Regulatory Officer at the Singapore Exchange and CEO of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). He joined Binance in 2021, rising to head regional markets before his CEO appointment.

Current KOL interest in Teng is tied to the memecoin launched on BNB Chain, which quickly hit a staggering $28 million market cap following Teng’s post on X. With the BNB season gaining momentum, it seems the entire memecoin crowd is rapidly shifting from Solana to BNB Chain.

Four.Meme - memecoin launchpad on BNB Chain

Four.meme is a leading memecoin launchpad built on the BNB Chain. The platform emphasizes fair launches, instant liquidity on PancakeSwap (once a bonding curve target is hit), and community-driven hype. It's backed by strong ties to the BNB ecosystem, including integrations with Binance tools and endorsements from key figures like CZ. 

Four.meme is exploding amid the “BNB Supercycle,” a narrative positioning BNB Chain as the next hotspot for memecoins, fueled by low fees, fast transactions, and Binance’s ecosystem pull. In the past 24 hours, it overtook Solana’s Pump.fun in revenue ($1.4M vs. prior leaders), with 35K+ tokens launched in a single day, signaling massive adoption reminiscent of Pump.fun’s 2024 Solana boom. On-chain activity shows 100K+ traders participating, including one whale who made $10M+, 40 wallets earning $1M+, and over 6,000 traders taking home $10K+ each.

OracleBNB - prediction market platform on BNB Chain

OracleBNB is a decentralized prediction market platform built natively on the BNB Chain. At its core, OracleBNB enables users to create, trade, and settle prediction markets—essentially betting on real-world outcomes like election results, sports events, or crypto price movements—using instant settlement mechanisms powered by blockchain oracles for secure, tamper-proof data feeds.

The project isn’t live yet; however, with CZ and other top Binance figures following it, it has already generated significant interest. The launch is likely imminent, so keep your notifications on.
