I saw the “growth over 5000%” figure in a Binance ad for #bStocksCIS , and my first reaction was the classic trick: any percentage increase looks impressive if the starting base is small. With $5.6 million, even a modest absolute gain produces a crazy percentage on paper.
But when I looked at the absolute numbers separately: over seven weeks—from launch on June 11 to August 6—there was $565.9 million. This is no longer about the flashy percentage from a tiny base; it’s a standalone amount that grows week after week. The company directly ties it to its strategy of a “single financial super-app,” where direct actions and tokenized versions live in the same account—meaning it presents the growth not as a one-off product success, but as part of a larger architecture.
I still haven’t decided for myself: is the absolute number truly more important here than the percentage—or did I just pick a more convenient framing for the same fact? Let’s see how this amount will look in another seven weeks, when there’s no effect of a low base underneath.
