Binance Coin (BNB) is the native cryptocurrency of the BNB Chain ecosystem, launched in 2017 through an ICO, initially based on Ethereum (ERC-20), and later migrated to BNB Chain (BEP-20). BNB plays a crucial role in the Binance ecosystem, supporting reduced transaction fees, paying gas fees on the BNB Smart Chain, participating in staking, and purchasing tokens on Binance Launchpad. With an initial total supply of 200 million, the periodic coin burn mechanism has reduced it to approximately 139 million (as of April 2025), increasing scarcity and boosting value. The current price of BNB is approximately $684, with a market capitalization of around $98 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of about $2.99 billion. BNB Chain has over 92 million transactions per week, with a Total Value Locked (TVL) of around $9.5 billion, demonstrating the strength of the ecosystem. However, market volatility and legal risks present challenges. BNB remains a potential investment choice due to its integration with DeFi, NFT, and Web3.web:0,7,8,9,10,11post:0,1,2
