$BNB

**BNB (Binance Coin)** is the native cryptocurrency of the Binance ecosystem, launched in 2017. Initially an ERC-20 token, it migrated to Binance Chain as BEP-2 and later expanded to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) as BEP-20. BNB offers utility across Binance’s platforms—paying trading fees at a discount, participating in token sales, and powering decentralized apps (dApps) on BSC. It also enables staking, travel bookings, and payments via partnerships. BNB’s value grew with Binance’s expansion, making it a top crypto by market cap. Periodic burns reduce supply, increasing scarcity. #BNB
