BNB Surges 80% in Three Months, Overtakes XRP as Third-Largest Cryptocurrency
BNB has soared by 80% over the past three months, overtaking XRP to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The impressive rally comes amid a sharp uptick in BNB Chain activity, as transaction volumes and new token launches have surged since mid-2025. Combined with BNB’s ongoing token burn program, these factors have tightened its circulating supply, further driving the price upward.
Rising BNB Chain Activity Fuels Momentum
Since mid-2025, BNB Chain has experienced a surge in on-chain activity. The average number of daily transactions is now more than four times higher than it was in the first quarter, signaling strong user engagement and growing adoption by decentralized applications (dApps).
This growth in transaction volume also strengthens BNB’s burn mechanism, where a portion of gas fees are destroyed in real time—gradually reducing supply and supporting the token’s value.
At the same time, new token launches on BNB Chain’s decentralized exchanges have climbed sharply, underscoring the network’s expanding ecosystem. With higher throughput and a flourishing community of dApps and developers, BNB Chain is solidifying its position as one of the most active platforms in the crypto industry.
PancakeSwap Hits Record Volumes as Ecosystem Expands
Leading decentralized exchange PancakeSwap has been a major beneficiary of this on-chain boom. In September 2025, PancakeSwap recorded nearly $80 billion in trading volume—its highest since November 2021. The surge mirrors the broader growth of the BNB Chain network and the influx of users seeking liquidity and new opportunities.
The platform also launched CAKE.PAD, a next-generation token launchpad built upon its original Initial Farm Offering (IFO) model. This tool enables emerging projects on BNB Chain to raise funds and gain visibility.
Reflecting this momentum, PancakeSwap’s native token, CAKE, has jumped over 40% since early October, highlighting investor confidence in the expanding BNB Chain ecosystem.
Institutional Interest Strengthens BNB’s Rally
BNB’s powerful price action has also been reinforced by institutional participation. CEA Industries, a Nasdaq-listed firm, recently disclosed ownership of 480,000 BNB—valued at approximately $585.5 million as of October 6.
This substantial investment underscores growing institutional confidence in BNB and the long-term potential of BNB Chain’s ecosystem.
