Journey from Utility Token to Comprehensive Ecosystem

The official BNB Chain account shared this historic milestone in a post on August 14, highlighting the achievement as the result of years of continuous innovation.

BNB was initially launched on Ethereum in 2017 to provide trading fee discounts for Binance traders, later transitioning to its own blockchain in April 2019. Now, BNB serves as a cornerstone for a hybrid ecosystem combining CeFi, DeFi, and real-world payments.

Within the Binance Ecosystem:

Trading fee discounts and access to token sales
Earning interest on loans and participation in exclusive promotions

In the DeFi Sector:

Over 5,000 decentralized applications (dApps) utilizing BNB
Areas: staking, lending, liquidity restaking, DEX fee discounts, and Launchpool

Real-World Applications:

Integration for booking flights, hotels, and retail payments
On-chain finance for organizations
Platform for tokenized stocks (xStocks) and TradFi assets

According to BNB Chain, several recent major transactions demonstrate widespread acceptance:

CEA Industries purchased $160 million worth of BNB, becoming the U.S. public company holding the most BNB.
A $500 million BNB fund backed by over 140 organizations.
Nano Labs issued $50 million in convertible bonds to finance a $1 billion BNB purchase plan.

BNB Chain processes blocks in just 0.75 seconds with a confirmation time of 1.875 seconds, and has a capacity of up to 100 million gas/second. The network has handled over 12 million transactions per day and achieved $165 billion in DeFi trading volume over six months, with ultra-low fees of $0.01-$0.03.

Ambitious Expansion Plans

Throughput of 1 gigagas/second
Over 20,000 TPS
Confirmation time under 150 milliseconds
Goal: Instant global payments with privacy security
Market cap surpassing major corporations, targeting $1,000

BNB has surpassed Nike in market capitalization, with Nike currently valued around $112-114 billion. This leads to speculation that the $1,200 mark could be the next target if the upward momentum continues.

Trader Daan Crypto Trades emphasizes BNB’s resilience in 2025: “This creates a healthier market where large-cap coins typically lead before capital flows into other altcoins.”

Crypto King notes that the price is only about 15% away from the four-digit mark, maintaining stability above the support level after breaking the previous ATH of $865—a sign of readiness for the next upward cycle.

As of now, BNB is trading around $830-$857, down from the peak of $868.79, indicating that a short-term correction may temporarily slow progress toward the psychological $1,000 mark.

Nevertheless, with a strong technical foundation, a diverse ecosystem, and increasing institutional acceptance, BNB is expected to continue its growth journey in the near future.
