BNB Chain together with Four.Meme, PancakeSwap, Binance Wallet and Trust Wallet announced the launch of the Reload airdrop totaling $45 million. The goal is to revive activity in the memecoin ecosystem and attract retail traders again.
The program is aimed at participants affected by the recent market crash, when billions of dollars evaporated from speculative tokens in just a few days.
Airdrop on BNB network may launch a new memecoin supercycle
According to the program, BNB Chain will distribute about $45 million in BNB tokens among more than 160,000 addresses. Recipients will be selected randomly — not by the amount of losses, but through a random allocation system. The distribution will take place in several stages from mid-October to early November.
At BNB they call the initiative an attempt to ‘restart’ user trust and return liquidity to the memecoin sector. In recent months, this segment has become one of the most active on the network — and at the same time one of the most unstable.
The airdrop is being launched against the backdrop of a massive drop on October 10, when many tokens issued through Four.Meme, fell by tens of percent.
BNB airdrop becomes the largest anti-crisis measure of the network
Four.Meme is a platform on BNB Chain for creating memecoins without code. It allows anyone to launch and list tokens, even those without technical expertise. Since its launch, billions of dollars in volume have passed through it, but the project has already faced criticism after an exploit earlier this year, when vulnerabilities in automatic liquidity mechanisms led to losses.
‘The memecoin community is one of the most active and creative in the ecosystem. They were hit harder than others by recent events, especially last week,’ said BNB Chain.
The Reload airdrop has become one of the largest user support initiatives in the network’s history. This is a signal not only to retail traders, but also to institutional investors: interest in the BNB ecosystem continues to grow.
Nevertheless, analysts warn — random distribution of funds may spark debates about fairness. Such airdrops often encourage excessive risk, creating a moral hazard effect for aggressive traders.

Despite this, BNB shows resilience — amid the general market downturn, the altcoin hit a new all-time high, rising above $1,370. An active community and high user engagement only strengthen the network’s position in one of the most volatile crypto seasons of 2025.
