BNB Reaches New All-Time High at $1111

BNB hits new ATH at $1111, rising 4.7% in 24 hours, CoinGecko reports.

BNB has reached a new ATH at $1111, with the cryptocurrency’s price rising by 4.7% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.

At the time of writing, the token is trading around $1086.

BNB’s market capitalization exceeds $151 billion, maintaining its position as the fifth largest cryptocurrency according to CoinGecko.

One potential catalyst for the rally could be the frenzy surrounding the Aster protocol. According to DeFi Llama, its TVL has risen to $2.3 billion, and trading volume on the DEX has exceeded $5.868 billion over the past 30 days.

Technical Enhancements and On-Chain Activity

Another possible growth driver is the recent reduction in fees on the BNB Chain network. Validators set the minimum gas price at 0.05 Gwei for all transaction types, reducing their average cost to $0.01-0.02.

The Maxwell update in June 2025 accelerated block processing, improved validator coordination, and enhanced overall network performance. Currently, in terms of TVL, the BNB Chain ecosystem ranks behind only Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin according to DeFi Llama.

Plans for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026 include increasing the gas limit per block from 100 million to 1 billion units. This aims to meet on-chain demand and ensure the smooth operation of decentralized applications.

In September, Aster surpassed Hyperliquid in trading volume.
