$BNB (Build and Build), originally launched as Binance Coin, is the native token of the Binance ecosystem. Initially used to pay trading fees with discounts, BNB has evolved far beyond a utility token. It powers the BNB Chain (formerly Binance Smart Chain), enabling smart contracts, DeFi platforms, NFTs, and more. With strong backing from Binance, one of the largest crypto exchanges globally, BNB holds a solid position among top cryptocurrencies by market cap. Regular token burns reduce its supply, supporting long-term value. As Binance expands into Web3 and blockchain adoption rises, BNB’s role as both a utility and investment asset continues to strengthen across the crypto ecosystem.
