On August 14, BNB set a new price record at $866.96. The token’s market capitalization reached $120 billion, securing its position as the fifth-largest crypto asset.
At the time of writing, the price of Binance’s coin had adjusted to $831.71.
The BNB Chain team stated that the fundamental reason for the rally was the network’s performance following the June Maxwell hard fork.
The strength behind $BNB’s ATH comes from the network it powers.
BNB Chain now delivers:
✅ 0.75s block times and 1.875s finality for near-instant transactions
✅ 100M gas/s throughput to enable millions of interactions daily
✅ 12M+ daily transactions (peak 17.6M) and $165B in… https://t.co/GtIYgVCGUu— BNB Chain (@BNBCHAIN) August 14, 2025
They provided the following figures:
- block creation time — 0.75 seconds, and finality — 1.875 seconds;
- over 12 million transactions per day (peak — 17.6 million);
- $165 billion in DeFi swaps over six months.
“Such scale means BNB is not just a token but a currency at the core of one of the fastest and most reliable public blockchains in the world,” the developers noted.
BNB Chain representatives also highlighted the blockchain’s leading position in DeFi. Its TVL exceeds $7.3 billion, with 2.4 million daily active addresses.
Another driver is the growing institutional adoption. At the end of July, Nano Labs acquired 128,000 BNB, increasing reserves to $108 million. Windtree and Liminatus plan to spend $60 million and $500 million, respectively.
BNB Forecast
Members of the crypto community remain optimistic about BNB’s future prospects. An analyst known as Galaxy emphasized that the token broke through multi-year resistance. According to him, the same happened during the bull market in 2021 when the asset’s price first exceeded $600.

A similar opinion was expressed by crypto trader Crypto King:
“BNB is just 15% away from a four-digit price. The rate broke the all-time high at $865 and is confidently holding above the support level. If the momentum continues, the next target is $1000. It seems we should prepare for another strong surge.”
An analyst known as Crypto Patel believes BNB could rise to $2000, as the asset “gains momentum and liquidity increases.”
$BNB at $868… and I’m aiming for $2000 next 🚀
Momentum’s building, liquidity’s pouring in, and the breakout setup is hard to ignore.
