Andre Cronje warned Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao against teasing a potential dog-themed meme coin launch, stressing that it could lead to scams targeting his crypto community. The founder of Sonic Labs urged CZ to fairly launch the project if that’s his plan.
“…if you do this, just launch the CA and share instead, otherwise you will indirectly rug so much of your community. People will deploy tens if not hundreds of contracts and scam your followers. Just launch a fair one yourself,” Cronje said in response to CZ’s announcement about sharing a dog photo.
The warning came after CZ revealed he was considering launching a meme coin inspired by his Belgian Malinois dog on Wednesday. The token might interact with other meme coins on the BNB Chain.
CZ’s announcement about posting a “dog pic” also sparked debate over responsible project promotion in the crypto space.
Community members expressed concern that individuals with knowledge of CZ’s dog’s name could potentially profit from advance information before a public reveal, while others might invest in fraudulent tokens hoping for returns.
This came briefly after CZ posted about BNB Chain’s educational video demonstrating how to launch a meme token on the four.meme platform, which inadvertently revealed the TST token ticker.
The token surged to a $52 million market cap following CZ’s post. The video was already removed, and CZ also clarified that TST is not an official BNB Chain token.
