Binance’s BNB token climbed to a new all-time high of $880 on 20 Aug. 2025, according to pricing data compiled by CoinGecko. The move extends an intraday rally that earlier lifted the cryptocurrency past $871 and caps a gain of roughly 15% over the past week. The advance comes as developer activity on BNB Chain accelerates. The blockchain now hosts about 5,836 decentralized applications, overtaking Ethereum’s 5,096 and making it the most-used network for dApps, research firm Coinfomania reported on 15 Aug. Analysts say lower transaction fees and recent Layer-2 integrations have attracted new projects and users, fuelling demand for the native token. BNB’s record underscores renewed investor appetite for alternative smart-contract platforms amid a broader rebound in digital-asset markets this quarter. While the token remains sensitive to regulatory and market risks, some strategists expect continued momentum if developer growth persists.
