BNB news

BNB rose above $1,000 in September, up more than 50% this quarter, driven by Franklin Templeton’s expansion into BNB Chain and record on‑chain activity, including 17.4 million active addresses and $3.32 billion in perpetual volume. Yet signals of overheating appear: spot volume remains high while price momentum falters, signalling a distribution phase, and trader sentiment has declined, warning of a possible sharp correction without clear profit‑taking or capital management.

AIQuant unveiled a platform that lets users create AI trading bots for Base, Solana, and BNB Chain without coding. The autonomous agents run 24/7, aiming to bring hedge‑fund‑grade tools to retail traders and eliminate emotional trading. Bots are activated with a one‑time hatching fee, initially in ETH and later in the platform’s AIQ token. Each operates through audited smart contracts, with preset risk limits and features like adaptive stop‑loss, slippage control, and evaluation criteria. The launch follows the growing trend of AI‑assisted crypto trading, and AIQuant plans to expand to other chains and introduce tokenized quants via bonding curves. Analysts warn that increased retail bot activity could pressure liquidity and amplify price swings.

Jiuzi Holdings’ board approved a $1 billion crypto treasury plan, earmarking Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB. The EV‑charging company, with just $943,000 in cash and a $55 million loss, saw its stock soar 47% to $2.38 before falling 10% to $1.46 on the day. The firm will not hold custody of the tokens, has a risk committee, and says the move is a long‑term hedge, not speculation. How it will raise the capital remains unclear, with no plans for convertible notes or PIPE financing announced.

Franklin Templeton has announced that its tokenization platform will expand to the BNB Chain network, bringing the $1.6 trillion asset manager onto Binance’s layer‑1 blockchain. The move will allow the firm to use BNB Chain’s low‑cost, compliance‑ready infrastructure and broaden the availability of its products. The Benji Technology Platform, which administers shares in Franklin Templeton’s OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund, will now run on BNB Chain. The fund has grown to $732 million and is backed primarily by government securities, cash and repurchase agreements. Franklin Templeton and Binance also announced a joint effort to develop additional digital‑asset products tailored to a wide range of investors, with further details expected later this year.

Franklin Templeton has expanded its proprietary Benji tokenization platform to BNB Chain, integrating the investment firm’s blockchain infrastructure with the network’s ecosystem to provide secure, compliant access to tokenized financial products for institutional and retail clients. Benji’s Intraday Yield feature, launched in June 2025, calculates and distributes yield with second‑by‑second precision, allowing tokenized securities to be more liquid and composable in DeFi while preserving fair returns for each holder. The move grants Franklin Templeton access to BNB Chain’s scalability, low fees and real‑time settlement.

BNB Chain has cut gas fees to ultra‑low levels and recorded a record $51.3 billion in on‑chain perpetual trading volume, with the network alone contributing roughly $21.5 billion. Recent upgrades aim to lower the minimum gas price to 0.05 Gwei and reduce block intervals to 450 ms, while Binance founder CZ has called for an additional 50 % fee cut, positioning BNB Chain as one of the cheapest blockchains. On‑chain data shows strong momentum: high TPS, leading development activity, stable‑coin flows through Binance rails, and a BNB price near $1,025 after a $1,000 breakout, fueling bullish sentiment that new all‑time highs could follow.

Bitcoin fell to $111,837, slipping below $112,000 and testing key support at $111,571 as market volatility follows a large liquidation event. Technical indicators such as ADX 18 and RSI 42 signal a weak, consolidating trend and a potential short‑term correction. In contrast, Binance’s native token BNB bucked the broader market, rising 6% in the past week to $1,013, its strongest run in the top‑10 list. Demand from the new Aster perpetual exchange and a strong ADX 43 and RSI 66 confirm a solid uptrend.

BNB surged to a record high, buoyed by institutional demand, though analysts caution the rally may face a short-term pullback.

BNB surged 7 % in the last 24 hours, reaching a fresh all‑time high of $1,083 before retracing slightly to about $1,052, marking a sharp extension of its up‑trend. Funding rates have fallen to a two‑month low, reflecting a wave of short positions that signal trader skepticism about the rally’s durability. Market observers point to a key psychological level at $1,000; a dip toward that price could trigger roughly $61 million in liquidations of long contracts, amplifying downward pressure. If bearish sentiment strengthens, the rally may stall and pull back to $1,000, while persistent bullish pressure could push BNB beyond its recent peak, breaking above $1,083 toward $1,100. The asset therefore stands at a critical inflection point, with trader sentiment and potential liquidation dynamics shaping its near‑term trajectory.

BNB traded at $1,012.18 on Friday, up 0.8% in 24 hours, with a market cap of $140.98 B and volume of $1.86 B. The rally pushed the four‑hour RSI into overbought territory, raising the prospect of a short‑term pullback toward the 20‑hour EMA near $1,012 or the 50‑hour EMA around $974 if selling pressure grows. Analyst Gael Gallot notes the token has stayed above the $970 support, citing high volume and a long‑short ratio of 17.71, which could lift BNB to about $1,150 in October. On a longer horizon, BNB’s breakout from a cup‑and‑handle pattern indicates year‑end targets near $1,250, possibly reaching $1,565 if momentum endures. On‑chain data, including a NUPL shift to optimism‑anxiety, supports the bullish outlook, though short‑term corrections could test support levels.
