BNB has reached a new all-time high of $804, up more than 14% in the past week. BNB has reached a new all-time high of $804, up more than 14% in the past week (see live). Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao celebrated this milestone on X, and his comments are sparking excitement about what might happen next. With altcoins fluctuating and CZ hinting at an upcoming "FOMO season," investors are starting to take notice.

CZ Holds $76 Billion in BNB

CZ's assets are closely tied to BNB, and these numbers are staggering. According to Forbes, he owns about 64% of the circulating supply of this token, equivalent to approximately 95 million BNB tokens. At the current price, these tokens are worth about $76 billion. And this doesn't even take into account his stake in Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.

Bloomberg currently estimates CZ's net worth at $59.7 billion, making him the 26th richest person in the world. But the issue is: that number does not include the amount of cryptocurrency he holds, which is private wealth and not publicly tracked.

Bloomberg has rated CZ at the lowest level of reliability regarding asset estimates, meaning the actual figure could be much higher. With the rise in BNB prices, his position in the cryptocurrency world is increasingly solidified.

Altcoin Momentum Rises: CZ Calls It FOMO Season

In another post on X, CZ pointed out the CoinMarketCap Altcoin Season Index, which has now reached 54/100. This index measures whether altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin. An index above 50 indicates that money is flowing into altcoins more than into Bitcoin.

According to CZ, this shift signals that the bull run is still in its early stages. He believes a "true FOMO season" could be on the horizon, as investor excitement quickly drives prices higher. Altcoins like BNB are showing signs of leading this trend.

The Cryptocurrency Community Joins the Party

The cryptocurrency community has not wavered as BNB exceeded the $800 mark. On X, users have praised CZ's leadership and made bullish price predictions.

One confident user stated, "I’m extremely confident BNB will reach $5000," reflecting the widespread optimism in the market.

What Drives BNB's Growth?

BNB plays a central role in the Binance ecosystem. It provides transaction fee discounts, supports BNB Chain, and backs an ever-expanding list of decentralized applications and Web3 projects.

This utility gives BNB a strong foundation even as speculative pricing continues.

However, cryptocurrency remains a high-risk field. Although the upward momentum is clearly leaning towards the buyers, investors should still be aware of the volatility that is characteristic of this market. $BNB
