As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen interest in the DeFi space, I’ve witnessed firsthand how Binance Chain’s native asset, BNB, has been making waves this year. The recent all-time high (ATH) of around $712 is a testament to its growing significance among the top cryptocurrencies.


The native token of Binance Chain, BNB, has reached a new peak price of approximately $712, solidifying its position among the top-tier cryptocurrencies. Several tokens hosted on its network experienced a significant surge in activity. For instance, Floki and CAKE from PancakeSwap witnessed gains of 15% and 25%, respectively.

The BNB platform has experienced a significant surge in Total Value Locked (TVL), reaching over $2.4 million as of Wednesday. This growth indicates heightened user engagement with the BNB DeFi ecosystem. Most of the new funds have been directed towards PancakeSwap’s decentralized exchange (DEX), allowing users to invest in various pools on the platform. The lending app Venus follows closely behind in terms of value inflows.

The price of BNB‘s native token surged significantly as activity on the BNB Chain rose, reaching a new all-time high of over $710. BNB has been robust since bullish trends emerged in the cryptocurrency markets this year. Notably, during the market downturn last year, BNB managed to hold its ground.

BNB Token Hits New ATH After the BNB Ecosystem Witnesses Soaring Usage

As an analyst, I anticipated this development as the bull market advanced in 2021, and it has now materialized. The primary driver behind its price surge is the deflationary mechanism that becomes more pronounced with each chain commitment to token burns. In simpler terms, these token burns involve sending tokens to wallets without private keys, making them inaccessible. By removing tokens from circulation through this process, scarcity is intentionally engineered.

Since 2021, the BNB Chain has regularly destroyed a part of its native token by eliminating it from circulation with each transaction fee. According to blockchain data, approximately $400,000 worth of BNB tokens have been burned in the past week alone. The unexpected deflation, coupled with the bullish trends driving the crypto market lately, has enabled the BNB token to reach new peak levels.
