Once upon a blockchain, the BNB Chain was quietly humming along, but this September flipped the script with a bang.
Monthly active users jumped to 56.4 million, up nearly 10% from its previous peak last year.
This is a full-blown celebration of Binance’s ecosystem showing it’s still very much in the game.

Milestones
What’s stirring this giant awakening? A dash of fresh tokens like STBL and the much-hyped Aster, a decentralized exchange that threw a splashy airdrop party, attracting eager crowds and pushing trading volumes past $4 billion since mid-September.
Rumors swirl like caffeinated gossip that Changpeng Zhao, the man who needs no last name, may be making a comeback, after quietly dropping ex-Binance from his social media handle. Drama and milestone all in one neat package.
Millions in buybacks
Let’s zoom in on the star of this Bitcoin show, the BNB token. Born in 2017 as a humble sidekick offering trading fee discounts, experts say BNB grew up to become the gas that keeps the BNB Chain engine running.
Binance’s strategy? Buy back their tokens and incinerate them faster than your Monday morning coffee disappears.
From a starting supply of 200 million BNB, the burn and buyback program has torched tokens down to around 139 million, eyeing a lean 100 million long-term.
In Q3 of 2025 alone, they smashed through $1.2 billion in buybacks. This relentless token diet keeps supply tight, and market activity spicy.
On the daily, BNB Chain handles roughly 17 million transactions and 2.5 million active addresses, raking in over $1 million in fees, proof that it’s no slouch next to Ethereum and Solana.
Cheaper and faster than Ethereum yet trailing Solana’s breakneck speed, the industry know that BNB’s 55 validators keep the network purring with power, even if decentralization takes a backseat.
Global dominance
Legal fireworks have danced around Binance lately. After settling with the US Department of Justice in 2023 and founder Zhao’s brief stint in the slammer, they shook hands with the SEC this May.
That cleared a significant cloud over their US operations, where Binance.US now runs the show.
Europe’s on the licensing path under MiCA rules, but some regions like the Philippines and Nigeria still throw obstacles in Binance’s way.
Yet, these skirmishes haven’t dented Binance’s global dominance.
Analysts say BNB’s recent record highs and ongoing supply burns clearly show a platform blending user growth, sharp tokenomics, and tricky regulatory jigsaw into a crypto powerhouse.
Against the giants, Binance’s BNB Chain is a tale of resilience and strategic precision. A good story.
