dingaling is a pseudonymous NFT whale who founded the meme coin launchpad boop.fun in May 2025, drew public accusations from Binance founder CZ, and stepped back to an advisory role in November 2025.
dingaling is a pseudonymous collector and investor best known as one of the largest NFT whales of the 2021 to 2023 era and, later, as the founder of boop, the meme coin launchpad boop.fun. His publicly tracked wallets held major positions across blue chip NFT collections, and reporting describes investments spanning dozens of crypto projects. He has claimed a background that includes founding PancakeSwap and a senior role at binance, claims that later became the center of a public dispute.
NFT whale years
Through the NFT bull market dingaling built a reputation as a conviction buyer whose wallet moves were tracked by wallet tracker accounts and copied by smaller collectors. That standing gave him an unusually large distribution network when he moved into meme coin infrastructure.
boop.fun
dingaling launched boop.fun on May 1, 2025 as a challenger to pump fun, marketed around fairer incentives for creators and communities. The platform's BOOP token was airdropped in large part to NFT communities, a group buy style distribution aimed at the audience dingaling knew best. ChainCatcher reported the token's market cap passed $500 million within hours of launch, with tens of millions of dollars in early volume, and the token spiked again after Bubblemaps published a holder visualization. Critics in the same coverage asked whether the incentive flywheel was sustainable and noted the founder's opaque background.
Dispute with CZ
On May 6, 2025, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao posted that dingaling was a former Binance employee dismissed for insider trading and called his claim of having been chief revenue officer fake. The accusations, which CZ made publicly on X, were widely covered; PANews noted that dingaling chose to remain largely silent rather than rebut them point by point. The claims are CZ's assertions and have not been tested in any legal proceeding, and dingaling's own biographical claims are likewise unverified by independent reporting.
Stepping back
On November 25, 2025, dingaling announced he would step back from boop.fun and serve as an advisor, with the pseudonymous bakraparty leading the project going forward. The move left Boop as one of several launchpads competing for the post pump.fun share of the trenches, and left dingaling's own story, whale, founder, and disputed Binance alum, as one of the era's stranger identity puzzles.
