A TRUE LIFE STORY - HOW BINANCE SQUARE STARTED (Transformations, The Pioneers, et al)📍
Do you wish to know the origin, transformation and some of the Super OGs of Binance square? From Binance Buzz, to Binance FEED and now Square? Ride with me :
But before I proceed, it might interest you to know that the entire write-up of this article is 100% original and true based on personal experience. - No fiction, No research work, No AI. I witnessed it all. All original from me ✍️
Binance Square has grown rapidly from a few tens of creators to a million(s) creators within 3 years. And I can proudly say it loud that I am part of this great success.
Back then in September 2022, I was already a Content Creator and Binance affiliate Marketer. The Binance team introduced a hub called Binance buzz.
Few KOLs including some affiliates(me too) applied and was accepted to be Approved creators inside the Binance app under the control and management of Viane , Diana Dai, J and Eric Yang.
The Binance Buzz was built under the Binance affiliate Pro dashboard inside the Binance app. We had global buzz group(Created by Viane) where we interact with each other (OGs) and give daily feedback and suggestions on how to improve the platform.
After a few weeks, it was changed from Buzz to FEED and was officially launched in October 2022 with lots of improvements. Then approved FEED creators no longer need to navigate to the affiliate Pro dashboard to access it. It was available in the Binance app homepage as a separate tab. The Binance FEED was also made available in the Binance website.
Meanwhile, some of the Global Super OGs who are the pioneers of this platform since 2022 are: My humble Self( Crypto Angel), CaptainX, Kasonso, Aman Sai, Danny- Crypto Resolution Masters, Crypto Ahmet , Berit, Nabeel, Spidey, TAnalyst, Hamza PRO, Crypto Man MAB, ABHI, Admin Crypto Raven, MAX, CryptoPalace, Pro Crypto Tech, Sid@HumanRaiders, Ernest Academy , Euros_Crypto, among others.
COMPARISON BTW BINANCE FEED & SQUARE
To be honest, comparing the then Binance FEED and the current Binance square is just like comparing analog and digital. LOL. This is because, Binance FEED lacked a lot of features you all enjoy currently such as editing, comment section, quoting, poll, video uploads, Audio Live and many more. So, We started bringing suggestions about these features to the FEED team and gradually, they were making it available, we kept testing and giving feedback till it was all great 😃
Also, back then, your post queue up for manual approval before listing. And if found faulty or misleading, it gets delisted again 😂
Within ending of that 2022, SAHIB AQIB (2022 -2024) became the Global manager and was very active and friendly to all KOLs in the group. He in fact, responds like a bot 🫡 🙌 🚀
There was also no monetization feature till 2023 when content tipping was introduced.
GROWTH: We started bringing in influencers and KOLs to join the platform till we had over 1,000 KOLs which was the first milestone 🔥.
The system kept improving, new features we suggested kept rolling in and the platform was getting more and more interesting.
In October 2023, the name was changed from Binance FEED to Binance square. This was when the platform officially launched and went LIVE .
But hey, we didn't stop, we kept building and helping the square to get even better through honest feedback and continuous Suggestions to the team.
MOST REMARKABLE EVENTS
🔶 Our Legend CZ 🔶 @CZ Joined Binance square in the Q4 of 2023 🔶 In the same Quarter, Binance Square was opened and made available for all creators (all Binance users) to post without submitting any application.
In 2024 (ending ) there came huge monetization features for creators such as Write to Earn, etc. Also 2025 brought in CreatorsPad and many more. Till today BS keeps getting bigger and bigger. The actual number of active Creators in Binance square is not known to me but obviously numerous talented creators.
Conclusion : Binance Square has become the first and best choice for brands and project owners who wants visibility and growth.
In my Next Article on Binance square, I will let you know the current conditions of the Binance Super OGs. Stay tuned. A very big shout-out to my Co Super OGs of @Binance Square Official . Both those I mention here and those I didn't. Respect 🫡 🙌🤝🫡
I hope you enjoyed reading this true story. Stay positive, stay safe. See you soon .
📈 Community is grinding hard, volume stays healthy even in choppy markets, and the whole 'trade without compromised energy is real 💯 If you're into DeFi that actually feels like modern finance instead of clunky old chains, $FOGO deserves a spot on your radar. Not shilling, just saying – this could quietly become the go-to spot for serious on-chain order books, perps, real-time auctions, and many more .
🇱🇷🇮🇷 Be On the Guard for US Vs Iran War...not sure what's going to happen. It is advisable to safeguard your funds.
The two countries are currently in a very tense standoff with extremely high risk of military conflict, but no active shooting war or declared hostilities exist right now.
Remember: Technically, we might be seeing bullishness but ALWAYS PUT global balance as a fundamental driver before any conclusion. Right now, fundamentally, there is tension and uncertainty. Don't forget that bearish global tension can override bullish T.A in just a sec !!
If tension reduces, we definitely going to see big pump, otherwise bear continues.
🇱🇷🇮🇷🇮🇶 Geopolitical Tensions are currently Impacting Cryptocurrencies. Escalating risks in the Middle East, particularly around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz (including recent live-fire missile drills), are contributing to a "risk-off" mood. This has led to Bitcoin dipping amid broader volatility, as investors shift toward traditional safe-havens like gold and the US dollar. Such events historically cause short-term liquidity squeezes in crypto, though Bitcoin often later positions itself as "digital gold" in prolonged uncertainty. US-Iran talks and potential escalation are being closely watched, with some forecasts warning of further downside if conflicts intensify.
Is FOGO speed really killing Solana & Sui? $FOGO is live SVM + Firedancer vibes, 40ms blocks, sub-sec finality. Built for perps, HFT, zero lag. Mainnet pumping, around $0.027, under $110M MC.
Just navigating with $FOGO today , it feels kind of unique Blockchain This isn't your average L1—it's a straight-up trader's dream built on SVM with Firedancer magic. We're talking 40ms block times, sub-second finality, and latency so low you basically forget you're on-chain.
No more waiting around like it's 2021. Designed for pros: perps, market makers, HFT bots—real-time execution without the CEX compromise. Colocated validators, native Pyth feeds, enshrined DEX vibes... it's giving institutional-grade DeFi without the suits.Launched mainnet recently, pumped hard on Binance, sitting around $0.027 with solid volume and still under $110M MC? Feels like early entry for something that could eat Solana/Sui's lunch in the speed department.
If you're into fast money and hate lag taxes, $FOGO is cooking. Who's riding this wave with me? #fogo @fogo
Be fearful when others are greedy 👌 and be greedy when others are fearful.
What does this imply in the crypto market?
This is a popular quote from a famous Investor and Philanthropist - Warren Buffett!
It implies that, When everyone is overly optimistic and buying aggressively, prices are often inflated; exercise caution (fear) and avoid overpaying. But When panic selling dominates and fear is widespread, the prices are usually depressed, seize the opportunity (be greedy) and buy quality assets at bargain prices.
It’s contrarian investing: go against the crowd’s emotions 👌 NFA
Hey traders, We are going to see some recovery on the market today. What's fueling the current pump or rather, relief bounce?
It's largely technical and opportunistic rather than driven by massive new inflows: ✓ Oversold conditions after heavy deleveraging and outflows (e.g., Bitcoin ETF outflows totaling billions in recent weeks/months, though some positive institutional flows persist).
✓ Short covering and dip-buying in a risk-off environment.
✓ Selective accumulation by whales/institutions in certain assets (e.g., on-chain data showing buying in pockets like Solana memes or majors). and many more.
GM Guys 🧡 ⚡This chain eats speed for breakfast without choking 🤩 . Early vibes feel right—rotation season loves these undervalued gems with tech that actually matters. Not financial advice, but if you're hunting alpha in Web3 infra plays, $FOGO deserves a spot on your radar. Who's already farming or trading it? Let's see this thing run. #fogo #FogoChain @Fogo Official
Looking at 1HR TimeFrame on the chart, $FOGO is building up momentum towards uptrend ... A bullish spark is coming if $BTC doesn't go further down. Because the whole market depends on it which includes alts and memes .
THE ONGOING CLAIMS OF MILLIONS IN BITCOIN LONG CIRCULATING AT THIS MOMENT - WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
"Trump Insider With 100% Win Rate Just Opened A New $66.6 million long ahead of the "huge" economy announcement today". The news further states that, he probably knows that something bullish will come out of the announcement.
However, in my research there is "No fresh, verifiable on-chain evidence popped up in recent searches specifically tying a new $66.6M long to this exact wallet today" !! It looks more like recycled FOMO bait building on the old legend. The "100% win rate" claim originated from that October run but later reports showed some of those whales getting liquidated hard on later trades,(Don't be fooled).
Take note that Crypto moves fast on rumors like this, especially with Trump back in the spotlight and any economic or tax news potentially juicing sentiment. If it's real and the announcement delivers pro-growth vibes (tax relief, tariff easing), we could see a pump but treat these "insider whale" posts as hype until you verify the wallet activity yourself on-chain. Be guarded.
Protect your funds during this uncertainty in the market, spots holding, staking and other minimal risks trading techniques is advised.

In a season of many L1s trooping and vibing without reasonable solution it offers to the industry, $FOGO feels like the one actually solving the "why can't DeFi feel like TradFi execution?" problem. Not saying it's gonna 100x tomorrow (DYOR, market is currently wild), but if you're sleeping on this because it didn't have a 50 emoji thread... might regret it when the real trading volume starts flowing here instead of fragmented everywhere else.
WITH LESS THAN 100M MC, $FOGO FEELS LIKE UNDERVALUED
Holla, buddies, what's good fam? Just sitting here vibing with my morning coffee, scrolling charts, and lowkey obsessed with FOGO right now. Like, this isn't your average hype coin pump — this is actually something different in the L1 game.Y'all know how Solana already cooks with speed? $FOGO takes that SVM foundation, straps on the pure Firedancer client (you know, that validator tech everyone's been hyping for years), and then cranks it to insane levels. We're talking ~40ms block times — that's sub-40 millisecond blocks, bro. Sub-second finality. Imagine placing a trade or sniping a perp and it executes basically instantly, no waiting around like you're on dial-up. CEX speed but fully on-chain, decentralized, no BS frontrunning if they keep nailing that batch auction stuff.
Mainnet is live since January, already pulling serious volume (we're seeing $30M+ daily sometimes), sitting comfy around $90M–$95M market cap with the token chilling ~$0.025 zone lately. Not mooning wildly yet, but steady accumulation, real builders testing high-freq strats, market makers jumping in, and DeFi apps that actually need real-time execution starting to eye it hard. Think on-chain order books, derivatives, real-time auctions — stuff that dies on slower chains.The team? Ex-Wall Street + Jump Trading + Pyth + JPMorgan vibes — these aren't degens tweeting memes all day (though the community slaps too lol). They raised solid bags quietly, skipped some sketchy pre-sale drama, and focused on delivery. Flames points season, Lil Fogees NFTs for early fam, ecosystem rewards coming... it's building layers beyond just "fast chain go 🚀 #fogo @Fogo Official
Who's already farming Flames or testing the chain? Drop your thoughts . #USJobsData
Amidst The current Crypto Market Volatity, SEC Chair Paul Atkins, states that regulators should not panic over declining crypto prices. He emphasizes that it is not the regulator's responsibility to be concerned about daily market fluctuations, and the focus should instead be on:
✓Ensuring proper disclosures so investors can make informed decisions.
✓Providing long-term regulatory clarity to create stable, predictable frameworks for the crypto industry. #SEC
🚨 THIS IS WHY YOUR CRYPTO BAGS ARE DUMPING AND YOU NEED TO KNOW IT
It's not due to quantum FUD. It's not due to the Fed being hawkish.
The biggest reason is the liquidity crisis!! As we all know, liquidity crisis in the crypto market occurs when there's a sudden or severe shortage of available capital (buyers, stablecoin inflows, or market depth) to support normal trading, leading to amplified price swings, difficulty executing trades without massive slippage, and cascading effects across the ecosystem.Crypto is particularly vulnerable because it's a high-risk, high-beta asset class with thin order books especially outside major pairs like BTCUSDT, heavy leverage usage (perps, futures), and reliance on continuous inflows for upward momentum. Unlike traditional markets with central bank backstops, crypto has no built-in lender of last resort, liquidity can vanish quickly.
As of now, a massive amount of liquidity has been drained by the US Treasury to refill its TGA account.
In the past month, Treasury has sucked out almost $150 billion from the economy.
Now add an already weakening economy on top of a liquidity crisis, and we have a perfect recipe for risk-on asset underperformance.
And crypto is not the only thing that is being sold off.
All the Mag7 stocks have been down YTD in 2026, with a few of them down 12%-15% this year. Because, When Mag7/tech stocks rally (driven by AI hype, liquidity, or positive macro conditions like dovish Fed policy), BTC tends to rise alongside them.
So, does that mean the dump will continue?
Well, the TGA balance is already at $922 billion, and this has been the ceiling since the 2020 pandemic ended.
So until a pandemic or WWIII starts, the next step will be the TGA balance going down, which will inject liquidity back into the market.
On top of that, $150 billion in tax refunds will hit the market by March, which will bring more dry powder and could bring a relief rally.
Dem wan bring CEX speed come blockchain world without losing decentralization $FOGO
Ah my people, make una hear this one about FOGO! This thing no be joke o. $FOGO na the native token of one serious Layer 1 blockchain wey dem call Fogo. E dey hot pass fire sef! Fogo no be ordinary chain like the ones wey dey drag speed up and down.

You fit run order books, derivatives, real-time auctions, everything without delay. No more waiting for blocks like say na 1990s internet. And because e dey compatible with Solana code, any dev wey don build something for Solana fit just carry am come Fogo sharp sharp – no need to rewrite anything.$Fogo token itself na the fuel: e dey pay gas fees, you fit stake am to secure the network, join governance, and enjoy ecosystem rewards. volume dey high, market cap don reach around $90M-$93M something, price dey dance around $0.023-$0.025.
Community strong, dem get NFT thing like Lil Forgees before, and now e dey build momentum proper.

If you're tired of waiting around for trades to confirm while the market moves without you, this chain might just be the fix we've all been waiting for. This Layer 1 is straight-up built for speed – think ~40ms block times, sub-second finality, and that CEX-level smoothness but fully on-chain and decentralized. Powered by Firedancer tech and fully SVM-compatible, so devs can port Solana stuff over without starting from scratch.Mainnet's live since January, listed on Binance, Bybit, and more. Current price hovering around $0.024 with solid volume and a market cap in the $90M+ range. #fogo @Fogo Official
$FOGO is Not some overhyped meme – this one's focused on real utility: low-latency DeFi, on-chain order books, perps, auctions, all the stuff where every millisecond counts.Team's got Wall Street + crypto vets behind it, and the community's starting to heat up organically.
No massive shill campaigns needed when the tech actually delivers. JOIN THE MOVING TRAIN NOW DYOR

Hey guys, just discovered that this Chain feels like it's solving the "DeFi is still too slow for pros" problem head-on.I'm not saying it's going to 100x tomorrow (though the setup is juicy if adoption hits). What I am saying is: if you're serious about on-chain finance, ignoring this one might be the real fade.CEX speed. DeFi soul. No compromises. $FOGO isn't just another token — it's infrastructure for the traders who actually move markets.
