What is TST?
TST is a token known as a "Test Token" created on BNB Chain using the BEP-20 standard. Originally developed for training and testing purposes, TST was used as a sample token in BNB Chain's developer documentation. However, it later began to be traded by the community and individual investors.
The token went viral in the Binance Smart Chain community in May. Its price rose rapidly, particularly on social media, following its inclusion in TST's developer documentation and the perception that it was "Binance-backed." Some analysis platforms reported that TST gained more than 4,000% in value in just a few days, and its market capitalization quickly surpassed $500 million.
Following this rapid rise, TST experienced a major sell-off in May 2025. The price lost approximately 40% of its value, particularly after a whale sold approximately $7 million worth of TST. While the price recovered somewhat following this sale, high volatility persisted.
The increase in volume and position decreases, particularly in the last 24 hours, indicate heavy trading activity in both spot and futures markets. Price fluctuations are expected to continue in the short term.
