The BNB Chain ecosystem token under the ticker BNB surpassed the $1,112 mark for the first time in history, strengthening the asset’s position amid the general growth of the cryptocurrency market. According to TradingView, the price rose more than 7% overnight and 15.5% over the week.
At the time of preparation of the material, the rate is holding around $1,093. The market capitalization of the asset exceeds $152 billion.
Analysts attribute the growth to several factors, including active accumulation by corporate treasuries and large holders, as well as regular token burnings. Back in May, experts at Standard Chartered predicted that the value of BNB could reach $1,275 by 2025.
Along with the rise in quotes, the blockchain’s network metrics have also strengthened. According to DefiLlama, the total value of blockchain assets in the network increased by 2.5% per day, reaching $8.23 billion. The number of active addresses grew to a record 73.24 million, and transaction activity in September showed the second-highest value in history.
The rally came amid a recent incident where BNB Chain’s official X (formerly Twitter) account was hacked and the attackers posted phishing links. Despite the attempted attack, user trust in the ecosystem has not diminished, experts say.
Technical changes also appear to be keeping the network interesting. On October 2, developers implemented a minimum gas price of 0.05 gwei, which should make transactions cheaper and faster. The team plans to expand the gas limit and introduce built-in privacy features.
Earlier in 2025, Maxwell and Lorentz upgrades were launched, improving block generation speed and validator coordination. The next phase of upgrades involves moving to an architecture capable of processing up to 20,000 transactions per second with latency of less than 150 milliseconds.
