In simple terms, VBNB is just a copycat token riding the hype. Its tactics are very obvious—taking advantage of VanEck's upcoming BNB ETF launch (with the ticker symbol VBNB), it artificially created a same-named coin on the chain.
From a timing perspective, this asset indeed has short-term speculative conditions. CZ and the leading figures in the crypto community recently responded to the expectations of the BNB ETF listing, further heating up market sentiment. The combined effect of major events and official updates often triggers a chain reaction in the secondary market.
Especially for the BSC ecosystem, such sentiment catalysts are very easy to ignite a wave of enthusiasm. Retail FOMO psychology plus market makers fueling the fire, coins like VBNB that jump on the hype are likely to become the next outlet for emotional release. In the short term, risks and opportunities coexist.

Haha, another fake coin appears. I've seen this trick many times before.
This wave is definitely easy to trap FOMO investors, with a bunch of people rushing in.
Want to gamble? Not being willing to gamble means you're not a crypto person.
Have you all checked the contract address thoroughly? Don't fall for phishing.
I don't understand why some people still chase after these hype-driven things.
Short-term trading is okay, but don't blame me if you hold long-term.
Let's see who ends up holding the bag in the end.

It's the same old trick again, every time a new hot topic emerges, they copy a coin with the same name to scam investors.

This tactic is old-fashioned. Coins that ride the hype are always like this, just changing the name to try to scam retail investors.

Once again, it's the same scamming tactic, riding the hype and really going all out.
Retail investors never learn their lesson; they get harvested every time before they realize their regret.
CZ's single statement can trigger a surge, but it's obviously just hype and not real.
I understand short-term arbitrage, but it's funny to treat this stuff like gold.
These types of coins are purely conceptual, and they die immediately after the hype passes.

It's the same trick again, using official events as a pretext to harvest profits, truly ruthless.
