$BNB BNB, originally known as Binance Coin, is the native cryptocurrency of the Binance ecosystem, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. Launched in 2017, BNB was initially created as a utility token to offer trading fee discounts on the Binance platform. Over time, its use cases have expanded significantly, including payments, travel bookings, and participation in Binance Smart Chain (BSC) projects. BNB plays a crucial role in decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain gaming through BSC. Its strong backing by Binance, continuous token burns, and growing adoption make BNB one of the most influential and valuable cryptocurrencies in the global market.
