Recent Performance of Binance Coin BNB
$BNB was born in 2017, initially issued at $0.11 during the ICO. With the rapid rise of Binance, BNB has gradually evolved from a mere 'transaction fee discount token' to a core asset of a complete ecosystem, used for paying transaction fees, running smart contracts, and driving thousands of DeFi, GameFi, and NFT projects.
In the 2025 crypto market, BNB will still rank among the top five cryptocurrencies, with a market value exceeding $100 billion, becoming the most representative 'platform coin.' Unlike other exchange tokens, BNB has transcended being a mere trading tool, and the market gradually views it as an 'on-chain ecosystem asset,' with some even comparing its role to that of $ETH.

What’s more noteworthy is that BNB recently broke its historical high, reaching the $880–$900 range, indicating strong market confidence in BNB, along with institutional funds increasing their positions, highlighting BNB's indispensable role in this bull market.
Three Core Applications of BNB
1. Offset Transaction Fees
If you choose to use BNB to offset transaction fees, there will be the following three options for users to choose from.
Use BNB to offset 25% of spot trading fees.
Use BNB to pay 5% margin interest.
Use BNB to pay 10% for U-based contract fees.
Users can choose to enable/disable the use of BNB to offset transaction fees according to their needs.
2. Participate in Binance New Coin Activities
Users holding BNB (Binance Coin) will be able to participate in multiple Binance new coin airdrop activities such as:
Launchpool: Stake BNB in flexible or fixed wealth management to earn new coin rewards.
HODLer Airdrop: New coin airdrops targeted at users holding BNB, with longer holding time resulting in higher weight.
Megadrop Airdrop: Use BNB to subscribe to fixed-term products and complete designated tasks in the Binance Web3 wallet.
3. Applications on the Binance Smart Chain
BNB (Binance Coin), as the governance token on the Binance Smart Chain, is required to pay BNB as fuel fees (Gas Fee) when participating in DeFi and daily interactions on that chain.
Strategies for Purchasing and Holding BNB
For investors who have already used Binance, purchasing BNB is not difficult; the challenge lies in 'timing of purchase and holding strategy.'
Choosing DCA is a good strategy; it allows for accumulating positions regardless of market fluctuations, enjoying the long-term growth dividends brought by the Binance ecosystem. Moreover, BNB can be used as an 'ecosystem participation voucher,' holding it can reduce transaction fees, and it can be used to participate in activities like Launchpool, Megadrop, staking wealth management, etc., allowing assets to generate returns during the holding process.
The recent surge is not just a temporary speculation but is driven by the 'flywheel effect': the deflationary burning mechanism tightens supply, applications like DeFi and GameFi continue to increase demand, and institutional funds entering the market create a positive cycle. This signifies that the value of BNB is not solely dependent on short-term capital stacking but is driven by structural forces.

Systematic Risk and Safety Reminders
Although $BNB recently broke its ATH and market sentiment is high, potential risks cannot be ignored. First is market volatility: BNB is long-term tied to the Binance exchange, and when market enthusiasm declines or is affected by regulatory news, BNB may experience significant corrections.
Next is capital allocation; even if you believe in the long-term value of BNB, it is not recommended to go all in. A reasonable position is generally suggested to account for 10–20% of the overall investment portfolio to avoid overall financial impact due to volatility of a single asset.
