$BNB

BNB (Binance Coin) is the native cryptocurrency of the Binance ecosystem, initially launched in 2017 as a utility token for discounted trading fees on the Binance exchange. Over time, its use cases have expanded, including payments, staking, and participation in token sales on Binance Launchpad. BNB also powers the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), a blockchain known for its low fees and high-speed transactions, fueling decentralized applications (dApps) and DeFi projects. Despite market volatility, BNB remains one of the top cryptocurrencies by market cap, reflecting its central role in the Binance ecosystem and its broad adoption within the crypto community.
