I took a little look at what was happening with $BNB
the last year (since August 2024) and here's what turns out:
At the beginning of the period (August–September 2024), BNB was trading in the range of $550–600. In October, it fell below $600, but by the end of December, it recovered to ~$600–620 after announcing a partnership with the AI project Sleepless AI.
In May–June 2024, the price surpassed $700 for the first time — reaching an ATH of over $700 (specifically $712) despite legal challenges against Binance.
In December 2024, a new high of $793.7.
In February 2025, BNB surpassed $SOL in capitalization (~$103 billion) with a price of ~ $720.
In April 2025, it traded around $597, with a market capitalization of ~ $85 billion.
Today (June 2025) – around $645, with stability at the current level.
What makes BNB relatively resilient?
Coin burning: Quarterly and automatic BNB burns actively reduce supply (millions of tokens have been cleared), supporting deflationary pressure.
Platform updates: Hard forks, AI integration, and improvements in the DeFi ecosystem contributed to increased user activity and transactions.
BNB Chain activity: The number of unique addresses and DEX volume increased, surpassing Solana in trading volumes.
However, there are certain challenges for BNB:
SEC/DOJ lawsuits: In mid-2024, the court partially dismissed some claims against BNB and Binance (secondary sales), which triggered a positive market reaction.
CZ and Binance: Former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was sentenced in April 2024 to 4 months in prison for money laundering; Binance paid $4.3 billion in fines and replaced CZ with new leadership.
And there are some interesting trends, where would we be without them:
Social interest: During meme coin speculation in February 2025, a surge in discussions about BNB on social media contributed to a 13% increase over the weekend.
Altcoin leadership: Investors consider BNB a stable altcoin with a positive sentiment and technical models suggesting further growth.
Airdrops from Binance to BNB holders.
In my opinion, BNB demonstrates financial stability and potential due to the following factors:
deflationary economy (burn),
platform update and active ecosystem,
growth of partnerships with AI/DeFi,
although regulatory challenges exist, court rulings are often lenient or neutral.
This allows BNB to be considered one of the most stable and promising altcoins on the market. Regulatory news or a general decline in cryptocurrencies may remain a risk.
Considering all this, I think the current drop in BNB is a reason to buy more at a lower price, which I periodically do.
