- Changpeng Zhao’s cryptic message has sparked a massive surge in Mubarak memecoin value.
- CZ has reportedly bought $600 worth of $MUBARAK.
- Though the coin’s value has skyrocketed, it remains highly volatile with big swings.
The cryptocurrency world is no stranger to sudden surges and wild speculation, but the recently launched Mubarak (MUBARAK) memecoin has taken this chaos to a new level.
What began as a playful experiment has morphed into a financial frenzy, with traders and enthusiasts riding a wave of hype that’s pushed its market cap past $192 million as of March 18, 2025.
Born on the Four.meme platform, a meme launchpad within the Binance ecosystem, $MUBARAK started as a community-driven token with modest beginnings. However, within days of its debut on March 13, 2025, it has exploded into the spotlight, fueled by a cryptic message from Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the former Binance CEO.
The CZ tweet that set MUBARAK memecoin aflame
CZ’s involvement, subtle yet unmistakable, ignited the spark. On March 14, 2025, he posted a laughing emoji on X in response to another user’s post, a move that longtime followers recognized as his signature cryptic style.

The $MUBARAK community, led by the vocal Mubarak CTO, interpreted this as a nod to the token, claiming CZ had “acknowledged he’s Mubarak.”
Mubarak CTO also speculated about a potential Binance listing, a golden ticket for any crypto project, that has sent traders into a FOMO-fueled buying spree.
“CZ just subtly acknowledged that he’s #Mubarak – a typical cryptic move from the Binance boss! Those who’ve followed #CZ long enough know that when he shills like this, the chances of a Binance listing are sky-high. https://t.co/hwswxADuw1

Whether true or not, the insinuation was enough.
The coin’s price shot up from a low of $0.06019 on March 16 to a high of $0.2158 just two days later, a staggering 210% increase.
A community takeover amid an Arab influence
What sets MUBARAK apart from the countless meme coins flooding the market is its rapid community takeover.
Launched initially on Four.meme, the token quickly slipped from its creators’ hands into the grip of a passionate group of supporters. The community’s technology director, or CTO, has been a driving force, relentlessly promoting the coin across social platforms like X and Telegram.
Posts from Mubarak CTO paint a picture of unstoppable momentum, urging followers to brace for a “big boom.” This grassroots energy has turned $MUBARAK into a symbol of collective ambition, with the community betting big on its future.
Adding fuel to the fire is the rumoured involvement of deep-pocketed investors from the Arab world suggesting that wealthy players in the region see $MUBARAK as their ticket to a billion-dollar market cap.

This narrative gained traction after CZ’s cryptic message, with some tying his UAE connections—he’s known to have ties to the region—to the token’s Middle Eastern flair.
While unconfirmed, the idea of Arab capital pumping the coin has only amplified its allure, pushing trading volume to a jaw-dropping $473.96 million in a single day, a 250.91% spike.
From Four.meme to Binance Alpha
The $MUBARAK story took another twist with its integration into Binance Alpha, a platform showcasing promising tokens on the BNB Chain.
This move, combined with CZ’s reported purchase of $600 worth of $MUBARAK (equivalent to 1 BNB) via PancakeSwap, sent a clear signal to the market: this wasn’t just another fleeting meme coin.
Blockchain analytics from Lookonchain confirmed the transaction, linking it to a wallet associated with CZ.

The coin’s listing on exchanges like BingX, MEXC, and Gate.io further boosted liquidity, drawing in traders eager to capitalize on its meteoric rise.
However, despite its success, $MUBARAK hasn’t escaped the volatility typical of memecoins. After hitting an all-time high of $0.2158 on March 18, the price dipped 13.52% to $0.1928, reflecting the wild swings that define this space.
Yet, the dips haven’t deterred buyers—liquidity climbed to over $4.3 million, and strong hands seem to be gobbling up every sell-off. The coin’s fully diluted valuation sits at $192.66 million, with a total and circulating supply of 1 billion tokens, making it a small-cap contender with room to grow—or crash—depending on the next twist in its saga.
