Stunning data from BNB Chain: Trading volume surges 243%! Daily active users near 2 million

Since May, BNB Chain's trading volume and active users have both set new records, with DeFi, meme coin trading (volume manipulation), and a $100 million incentive program becoming the growth engines. (Background: Binance Alpha's new airdrop system launched) Starting from June 19, it will be divided into two phases: high-scoring users will receive rewards first, followed by a first-come, first-served basis until the reward pool is exhausted.) (Background information: Binance Alpha 'ZKJ, KOGE plummeted 81%', users were targeted by liquidity attacks: only 20% of assets left after manipulation.) Since May 2025, trading and user metrics on BNB Chain have skyrocketed. On-chain data shows that daily transaction counts have increased from 6 million to over 15 million, and active addresses are nearing 2 million, with real users also reaching a historical high of 1.7 million during the same period. The market interprets this as a triple thrust from the DeFi craze, meme coin speculation, and official incentive airdrops. On-chain data: trading volume doubled, user records broken. According to Nansen's statistics on the 17th, in the past 30 days, BNB Smart Chain processed a total of 405 million transactions, an increase of 243% compared to the previous month. Instant TPS surged to 123, breaking the high point of Q4 2021. Regarding activity, nearly 600,000 new wallets joined the network, with daily active addresses approaching 2 million.

Nansen data shows that in the past 30 days, the overall DEX trading volume on BNB Chain reached $147 billion, surpassing Ethereum and Solana. 2. Meme coins: In March, BNB Chain's meme coin transactions reached $1.64 billion in a single day, attracting retail investors for short-term trading. 3. $100 million ecological incentive: The plan announced by BNB Chain Foundation in April focuses on DeFi, AI, GameFi, and meme projects. After project parties submit applications, they can go live in as little as a week, with significant funding incentives. BNB technical upgrades: The Maxwell hard fork that BNB started testing in May shortened block times to 0.75 seconds, allowing for faster transaction confirmations and reducing slippage risks for high-frequency traders. Futures markets also showed bets in the same direction. Binance futures open interest once rose by 25%, and BNB spot prices remained above $600, indicating that funds still have a positive outlook for the market.
