BNB recently broke through the $124 billion market cap mark, officially surpassing XRP to become the fourth largest cryptocurrency in the world. How was this achieved? On the surface, the $100 million liquidity plan, $200,000 Meme coin investments, and rising on-chain transaction fees are the driving forces. But the real driving force is actually behind the scenes—the market is betting on the arrival of the Fermi hard fork.

What does this upgrade aim to do? The core is to accelerate. The Fermi hard fork will significantly improve BNB Chain's TPS performance, which is a big win for high-frequency trading ecosystems, and Meme coin markets will benefit directly. Once performance is maximized, the funds and projects attracted to this chain could reach a new level. Now, it remains to be seen whether these expectations can be fulfilled.

XRP1,12%

MEME0,92%

BNB this wave is indeed fierce. If the Fermi hard fork can truly maximize performance, the meme coin ecosystem will take off directly. With improved performance, transaction fees become even more attractive... This logic is quite interesting. Surpassing XRP is just the appetizer; the key is how many real projects can be attracted in.

If the Fermi hard fork can truly maximize TPS, BNB is indeed a bit impressive this time --- XRP has been overtaken? The market is just so realistic, performance is king --- Basically, it's a gamble on upgrades; if it doesn't work out, it'll be awkward --- 100 million liquidity + Meme coin hype, the套路 is still the same, but it’s indeed effective --- I've heard too many times about TPS improvements; only when it’s actually implemented does it count --- Let’s see if the Fermi hard fork can deliver, or it’s just a bubble --- Good news for the Meme coin market? Then I definitely need to pay attention to this chain --- Overtaking XRP with just a hard fork expectation? The market is a bit too optimistic, isn’t it

Is the Fermi hard fork really that powerful? I feel like it's a bit exaggerated. BNB's recent surge is a bit crazy. Can relying solely on TPS improvements really stabilize it? Another promise of "performance maximized," I've heard this too many times. Let's see it actually implemented. The Meme coin market is about to take off again, which means on-chain transaction fees will skyrocket. $100 million liquidity plan, sounds like a bailout. After Fermi arrives, can XRP still make a comeback? It feels like BNB is really going to leave it behind this time. Performance optimization—how has that been since they promised it nicely before? I'm a bit skeptical. Overtaking XRP just for a market cap ranking, but the ecosystem is the real key. Transaction fees keep rising, and they still keep hyping it up—this logic is a bit funny. If the hard fork fails, all these expectations will be for nothing.

BNB's recent move is indeed quite aggressive, but can the Fermi hard fork really maximize the potential? It sounds pretty uncertain. Overtaking XRP isn't really surprising; the key is whether the network will get congested again once TPS is maximized. How long the meme coin frenzy can last is still uncertain. A liquidity of 100 million sounds like a lot, but given the overall scale, it's just average. The main thing is whether the on-chain ecosystem can keep up. Honestly, the expectations have already been inflated, so I would consider it a success if sixty percent of those can be realized.

This wave of BNB's surge is a bit crazy, but to be honest, whether the Fermi hard fork can truly maximize performance is the key. Don't just hype expectations and end up with a disappointing finish.
