BNB Surges 2.24% to $688 as Maxwell Hardfork, Launchpool Projects Fuel Market Momentum

BNB is currently trading at $688.30, with a 24-hour opening price of $673.21 and a 2.24% increase over the last 24 hours; trading volume is between $1.85 billion and $1.94 billion, and market capitalization is near $99 billion, reinforcing BNB’s position as one of the top five cryptocurrencies by market cap. The recent price increase is attributed to strong market momentum following technical developments such as the Maxwell Hardfork going live on testnet, positive technical indicators like the golden cross and cup and handle pattern, and heightened activity on BNB protocols; additional support came from new project launches on Binance Launchpool, including Huma Finance (HUMA) and WalletConnect Token (WCT), which have driven increased engagement and demand among BNB holders.
