As an ordinary Donkey, I have recently been studying BNB diligently to become a qualified Donkey, and I found that the market still undervalues BNB.
Core Advantages of BNB
1. Rich ecosystem reduces usage costs directly
Using BNB to pay for spot and leverage trading fees on the Binance exchange can enjoy a maximum discount of 25%, and can be used to pay for options, contracts, wealth management, Launchpad/Launchpool, and all other 'ecosystem-level' fees. Therefore, traders naturally have continuous buying pressure.
2. Large ecosystem with long-term on-chain activity
In the first quarter of 2025, BNB Smart Chain (BSC) on-chain revenue increased by 58.1% month-on-month, and the TVL (in BNB) grew at a rate of 14.7%, firmly remaining in the top four of public chains; the number of DeFi, GameFi, NFT, and SocialFi projects is all at a high level in the industry.
The flagship DEX PancakeSwap on BSC has stabilized its daily trading volume at over $2.5 billion, with TVL approaching $2 billion, proving that the depth of funds and liquidity are sufficient.
3. Performance and cost advantages
Based on PoSA consensus, BSC's average block time is approximately 3 seconds, and transaction fees are usually below $0.05, significantly better than traditional L1 public chains.
4. Multi-layer scaling: opBNB addresses high-frequency application pain points
opBNB is the Optimistic Rollup layer 2 of BNB Chain, achieving TPS in the thousands on a single chain, with Gas fees as low as over 100 Gwei (≈$0.001), unlocking performance limits for high-concurrency games and social dApps.
5. Clear and transparent deflation model
BNB adopts a 'dual burn' mechanism:
Auto-Burn: Automatically recovers based on quarterly on-chain block count × BNB price formula;
Real-Time Burn: Destroys a proportion of Gas for each on-chain transaction.
On April 16, 2025, the 31st quarterly burn was completed, permanently removing 1,579,207.72 BNB (approximately $916 million), with total supply expected to be compressed to 100 million BNB in several years.
6. EVM compatibility + complete cross-chain components, low migration costs for developers
Compatible with Ethereum bytecode, allowing direct deployment of Solidity contracts; cross-chain bridges, zkBNB, Greenfield (decentralized storage), and other modules allow assets and data to flow freely across multiple chains, lowering the switching threshold for projects.
7. Large community and liquidity entry points
Binance itself has the most CEX users globally, and BNB can serve as an 'exchange entry coin' for seamless circulation between CEX, DEX, on-chain wealth management, and consumer payments; along with security measures such as AvengerDAO and insurance funds, it has increased the trust of institutions and ordinary users.
So it's never too late to buy BNB
