BNB Gains Recognition as Market Wakes Up to Its True Value
BNB has reaffirmed its position as one of the strongest cryptocurrencies, reaching a new all-time high above $1,300. According to CEA Industries CEO David Namdar, BNB is “the most overlooked blue-chip,” reflecting strong fundamentals and a growing ecosystem that the market is finally recognizing.
Namdar said BNB’s rally isn’t random but demonstrates the network’s increasing credibility and real-world utility. “The market is waking up to the scale and utility of the BNB ecosystem,” he added, noting rising activity across DeFi and gaming sectors.
BNB Ecosystem Shows Real Utility and Scale
Data from DefiLlama shows the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) maintains a total value locked (TVL) of $8.66 billion, making it the third-largest blockchain. In the past day alone, it recorded 2.52 million active users and over 20.7 million transactions, underscoring strong adoption and network usage.
Namdar said this validates the “scale + utility” thesis driving BNB’s success. Reports from Messari and BNB Chain confirm steady product innovation and consistent user engagement across BSC and opBNB.
Binance Expansion Strengthens BNB Momentum
BNB’s growth also benefits from Binance’s global expansion across infrastructure, wallets, payments, and Web3 applications. New partnerships and regulatory approvals across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia continue to strengthen investor confidence.
Recently, Japan’s PayPay, backed by SoftBank, acquired a 40% stake in Binance Japan, making it an affiliate as of September 2025.
Meanwhile, CEA Industries (Nasdaq: BNC), which holds 480,000 BNB tokens, operates what it calls the world’s largest corporate BNB treasury, with total crypto and cash holdings valued at $663 million.
“BNB Meme Season” Draws Traders
The BNB Chain has also seen a surge in memecoin trading activity, with Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) referring to it as “BNB meme szn.” Marwan Kawadri, BNB Chain’s DeFi lead, described the network as “the heartbeat of on-chain trading,” as user numbers and decentralized exchange volumes hit new highs.
With growing adoption, strong fundamentals, and increasing institutional support, BNB continues to stand out as one of the most resilient and valuable blue-chip assets in the crypto space.
