General
What is BNB?
- The BNB blockchain is a decentralized network developed by Binance that supports smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps), and fast, low-cost transactions. It operates on a dual-chain architecture: BNB Beacon Chain for governance and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) for compatibility with Ethereum-based tools. It’s widely used for DeFi, NFTs, and token creation within the crypto ecosystem.
- BNB was originally launched in 2017 as a utility token for discounted trading fees on Binance. But its role has since expanded dramatically. After moving from Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard to its own BNB Chain infrastructure, comprising BNB Beacon Chain (governance and transfers) and BNB Smart Chain (smart contracts), BNB evolved into a multipurpose asset powering one of the busiest blockchain ecosystems in the world.
Today, BNB is used for:
- Paying fees on Binance (with significant discounts)
- Gas fees for dApps on BNB Smart Chain
- Participating in token launches (Launchpad/Launchpool)
- Real-world payments through Visa cards, booking sites, and more
- Earning staking rewards and yield farming
Why BNB Still Matters
Binance Coin (BNB) continues to hold strong among the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Priced at around $667.66 as of today, BNB remains a fundamental pillar of both the Binance ecosystem and the broader DeFi landscape.
At DEXTools,we believe understanding the foundations and strategic tools behind coins like BNB is essential for any trader looking to stay ahead in this rapidly evolving space.

The Power of Tokenomics: Quarterly Burns and Scarcity
BNB follows a deflationary model. Binance commits to burning BNB quarterly using a portion of their revenue. As of May 2025, over 50% of the total BNB supply has been burned or is locked, reducing the circulating supply and increasing scarcity, two key components that have historically supported price growth.
Did you know that the DEXTools token is also deflationary? In this article, we talked about the latest (and biggest) $DEXT burn, and you can check out the Dashboard for all the details here.
BNB’s Market Performance in 2025
BNB has rebounded impressively from the lows of the 2022–2023 bear market. The combination of a growing user base, demand for DeFi services, and network upgrades has attracted long-term holders and institutional interest.
- Current Price: $583,42
- 30-Day Trend: Slight correction of ~7%, considered healthy after a strong Q1 rally
- Projected Price Range (2025): $694–$1,087, depending on market conditions
- Catalysts: Faster transaction speeds, BNB Greenfield (decentralized storage layer), and institutional DeFi interest.
With upcoming innovations like opBNB (a Layer 2 scaling solution) gaining traction, the ecosystem is becoming even more attractive to developers and users alike.
