CEA Industries CEO David Namdar recently labeled

BNB
as the "most underrated blue-chip in the market," citing its recent price surge and ecosystem growth as evidence of its underappreciated fundamentals. As of October 2025, BNB reached an all-time high of $1,330, with a market capitalization of $184 billion, securing its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, surpassing
XRP
and
Tether
. The token's rally was driven by sustained institutional demand, regulatory progress for Binance, and robust on-chain activity on the BNB Chain Cointelegraph[1].

BNB's ecosystem has seen exponential growth, with the BNB Chain reporting 58 million monthly active addresses in September 2025, overtaking Solana. The network processed 12–17 million daily transactions, with total value locked (TVL) reaching $17.1 billion. Key drivers included decentralized exchanges like

PancakeSwap
, which reported $2.5 billion in TVL and $772 billion in Q3 trading volume, and the
Aster
Protocol, whose TVL surged 570% to $2.34 billion within a month . Institutional participation intensified, with corporate treasury allocations and token burns reducing supply by 1.5 million tokens in recent quarters Cointelegraph[1].

Regulatory developments also bolstered confidence. Binance's compliance progress with the U.S. Department of Justice, following a $4.3 billion settlement, reduced perceived risks for the exchange and its native token. Additionally, the BNB Chain's "Yellow Season" roadmap aims to achieve 20,000 transactions per second (TPS) by 2026, with upgrades like opBNB enhancing scalability and gas efficiency .

Namdar emphasized BNB's utility within the Binance ecosystem, noting its role in transactions, staking, and governance. The token's price performance-up 50% monthly and 84% annually-was attributed to a mix of macroeconomic factors, including expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, and ecosystem innovations like the $1 billion Builder Fund to support developers .

Memecoin
activity on BNB Chain further amplified retail engagement, with platforms like Four.meme facilitating over 384,000 token launches and generating $1 million in daily fees at peak .

Analysts project BNB could target $1,300 in the short term, with longer-term estimates ranging up to $2,000 if adoption and favorable macro conditions persist. Namdar highlighted that while macro flows contributed, BNB's internal strength-reflected in its TVL growth, daily active users, and institutional allocations-remained the primary driver .
