$BNB : A Steady Choice in a Bull Market, the Unique Advantages of Platform Tokens
If you missed the rapid rise of ETH, BNB might be a more secure investment direction.
As the core asset of the Binance ecosystem, BNB has several undeniable advantages in this bull market:
1. Continuous Expansion of the Binance Ecosystem
• Binance is still one of the exchanges with the largest trading volume and strongest profitability, and its services like Launchpool and new coin mining continue to create demand for BNB.
• Although the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has been criticized for being "not decentralized enough," user activity and on-chain transaction volume remain in the top three, indicating that the market recognizes its efficiency and low-cost advantages.
2. The Unique Operational Logic of Platform Tokens
• The exchange controls market data: Binance can clearly see users' holdings and leverage situations, which means that the timing of BNB's price increases often targets the moments with the least market resistance, such as:
◦ When contract holdings are low (reducing short-squeeze risks)
◦ When market sentiment is improving but has not yet reached FOMO levels (low-cost price increase)
• Buyback and burn mechanism: Binance uses profits each quarter to buy back BNB and burn it, which supports a deflationary model in the long term.
3. The “Late but Not Absent” Market in a Bull Run
Historical data shows that BNB may underperform BTC/ETH in the early stages of a bull market, but often sees explosive growth in the mid to late stages, for example:
• In the 2019 bull market, BNB rose from $6 to $40 (a 6.6x increase)
• In the 2021 bull market, BNB rose from $40 to $690 (a 17x increase)
In this bull market, the rise of BNB may be more stable, but the potential remains considerable.
So we can gradually accumulate at the current price: BNB's trend is relatively stable, suitable for dollar-cost averaging or buying on dips.
Target: In the short term, look for previous highs, and after breaking through, the next target is in the range of 1000-1200.
BNB may not be the most explosive in terms of price increase, but it is one of the most “certain” assets in a bull market.
If you pursue steady growth instead of high-risk, high-volatility altcoins, BNB is worth paying close attention to.
