BNB Outperforms Wide Market on Growing RWA Adoption, Potential Coinbase Listing

The native token of the BNB Chain, BNB, climbed more than 3% in the last 24 hours, as a mix of institutional momentum and strategic selling shaped its trading session entering the weekend.

The token rallied from $1,056 to $1,087, peaking at $1,131 in early morning trading before pulling back slightly. It’s outperforming the wider crypto market, which rose 2.43% in the last 24 hours, based on the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index.

Profit-taking near resistance levels could be the cause of the late dip. Trading volume hit 204,000 tokens, almost three times the daily average, underscoring active participation from market players, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model.

Behind the price action is a wave of growing adoption. Coinbase recently added BNB to its list of assets being considered for full platform support after the launch of the exchange’s new “Blue Carpet” initiative.

On top of that, China Merchants Bank International (CMBI) tokenized its USD money market fund on the BNB Chain, issuing two tokens, CMBMINT and CMBIMINT, for accredited investors.

BNB Chain, the blockchain that BNB powers, also hit a milestone with over 3.6 million daily active addresses last week, according to DeFiLlama, the highest in its history.

Corporate accumulation has also grown, with Hong Kong-listed investment bank China Renaissance reportedly planning a $600 million to build a BNB-focused treasury.

Still, BNB remains 17% below its all-time high of $1,370. The token’s recent volatility, marked by a $79 intraday spread range, suggests traders are struggling to price-in rising demand against broader market unease.
