$BNB

In 2017, during the cryptocurrency boom, Binance had just launched. To fund the platform's development, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) held an initial coin offering (ICO) and launched $BNB. At that time, the price of the coin was only $0.10. Many did not believe that this "discount coin" would evolve to become one of the top cryptocurrencies globally.

Over time, BNB grew significantly beyond its original use. It became the engine for the Binance Smart Chain (now known as the BNB Chain) - used in decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and even global payments. At its peak in May 2021, BNB's value surpassed $680, achieving returns of over 6000 times for its early holders.
