News linked to both this project and an event.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), Four Meme has launched 4Stock, a new platform introducing the "crypto-equity + launchpad" concept. Its corresponding BSC meme token, $4Stock, has swiftly breached a $50M market cap. Of these, $BNC4 serves as the first stock brought on-chain via 4Stock, pegged to the US equity BNC (the BNB-version equivalent of MicroStrategy, tracking the ticker for publicly traded US firm CEA Industries supported by YZi Labs). In theory, it maintains a 1:1 peg with the underlying stock. However, driven by market speculation, BNC4's price briefly surged to $35, nearly eight times the after-hours price of the underlying equity. Arbitrageurs subsequently exploited the platform's Mint mechanism to redeem BNC4 for USDT, triggering massive profit-taking sales and causing the BNC4 price to immediately crash. User @ShawnThread redeemed 6,666 BNC4 for 231,000 USDT, becoming the first successful arbitrageur.
Odaily News According to GMGN data, the BSC meme token BNC4's market cap surged and then pulled back, briefly exceeding $20 million and currently standing at $2.8 million. Meanwhile, multiple users involved in arbitrage trading of the on-chain stock token BNC4 have disclosed profits ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.Among them, trader 0xShawn stated that he completed arbitrage through Four.meme's BNC4 Mint mechanism, sharing a transaction record showing the exchange of 6,666 BNC4 for approximately 231,300 USDT. He noted that the related Mint request was processed normally and claimed to be among the first users to complete transfer invoicing.
According to Bifrost's monitoring, at 19:47 Beijing time on August 8, hackers exploited a vulnerability in the liquidity pool, stealing approximately $720,000 worth of assets from the vDOT single-asset pool and the vASTR/ASTR and vMANTA/MANTA pools. The stolen assets were subsequently deposited into HitBTC and eventually flowed into Binance. Bifrost has contacted Binance's security department to submit a fund freeze request and has filed a report along with a chain of custody evidence package, including transaction tracking, wallet addresses, and timestamps, with law enforcement authorities. Currently, Bifrost has halted all liquidity mining rewards and is conducting a comprehensive security review.
