1. BNB is the "fuel" for Binance Smart Chain
BNB is used to pay transaction fees on the BNB Chain – a blockchain with fast speeds, low fees, and a place to build thousands of DeFi, GameFi, NFT applications...
This makes BNB not only have intrinsic value but also a high real-world usage demand.
2. Regularly burned – reducing supply
Binance regularly conducts quarterly BNB burn programs, reducing the total supply over time. This helps BNB become increasingly scarce and creates long-term upward price pressure if demand continues to rise.
3. BNB closely tied to Binance's strength
It cannot be denied: BNB reflects confidence in Binance – the largest exchange in the world. The more Binance users, the more applications developed on the BNB Chain, the stronger BNB's position.
However, this also means risk if Binance encounters legal issues or loses market share.
4. A solid position in the top 5
Despite market fluctuations, BNB still maintains a position in the top 3–5 by market capitalization. This shows strong confidence from long-term investors in this token.
Summary:
For me, BNB is a coin that has real-world applications, a clear supply reduction model, and is tied to a rapidly developing ecosystem. It deserves a place in a 3–5 year investment portfolio, but it is necessary to closely monitor the legal situation and activities of Binance.
