BNB Coin (BNB) is experiencing a powerful rally, breaking past the $1,000 mark and hitting a new all-time high of $1,236 as the altcoin season heats up. The token’s bullish momentum is being fueled by strong performance across the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) ecosystem and improving global macroeconomic conditions.
According to PancakeSwap — the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) on BSC — trading volumes reached a record $772 billion last quarter. Meanwhile, the total value of stablecoins on the network has climbed to an all-time high of $13.5 billion, signaling strong capital inflows into the ecosystem. Data from DeFi Llama also shows that DEX volumes on BSC hit $90 billion in September, matching the highest levels seen since 2021.
Beyond the crypto market, the U.S. Federal Reserve recently cut interest rates for the first time in this cycle and is expected to lower them further in its upcoming meeting, creating a more favorable environment for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. Market sentiment has improved significantly, with the Fear and Greed Index rising from 34 (Fear) to 59 (Greed).
Institutional demand is also strengthening thanks to the launch of altcoin-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The REX-Osprey Solana + Staking ETF (SSK) has already surpassed $400 million in assets under management, while the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) is approaching $100 million — a sign of growing investor confidence despite XRP’s stable price.
Technically, BNB has broken through the key resistance level at $1,050, confirming the start of a new bullish phase. In just five days, the token has surged by 21%. Although the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates overbought conditions — suggesting a short-term pullback toward $1,000 is possible — analysts believe such a correction would simply open the door for new buyers to enter.
If BNB maintains its upward trajectory and holds above its trendline support, the $2,000 milestone could be within reach this cycle. At that level, BNB’s market capitalization would climb to around $278 billion, potentially surpassing both XRP and Tether to become the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency.
