$BNB Overtakes UBS in Market Cap as CZ Urges Banks to Integrate
Binance Coin (BNB) has reached a $130.6B market cap, surpassing Union Bank of Switzerland’s $129.1B , a symbolic moment where a blockchain-native asset outpaces a century-old banking giant.
Binance founder CZ urged traditional banks to adopt BNB, stressing its utility beyond speculation. Today, BNB powers trading discounts, payments, and a wide range of applications on Binance Smart Chain, with adoption further boosted by partnerships like Franklin Templeton.
Momentum continues to build. BNB touched $941.87 landmark (ATH), with analysts eyeing $1,300 as the next milestone. Institutional allocations, including a $500M private placement involving CEA Industries, 10X Capital, and YZi Labs, show confidence in BNB as more than a retail-driven asset.
While viral social posts exaggerating life-changing gains lack evidence, the UBS comparison highlights a bigger truth: BNB is crossing from exchange token to financial mainstay, and the gap between traditional banks and digital assets is narrowing fast.
