BNB Chain has set a new record in user activity, with its sender-only active addresses reaching 3.46 million, surpassing its previous record from December 2023. In the past 30 days, the network also saw a 151% surge in successful transactions, bringing its total to over 500 million. This surge in activity coincided with BNB’s price reaching an all-time high, marking a strong recovery from a recent market downturn.
Record-Breaking Activity on BNB Chain
BNB Chain has recorded an all-time high in daily active addresses. According to data from Nansen, the blockchain’s sender-only active addresses, which exclude internal transfers, hit 3.46 million on Monday. This exceeded the previous record of 3.44 million set in December 2023. The rise in user activity reflects the growing adoption and use of BNB Chain for transactions and decentralized applications.
The increase in active addresses is part of a broader trend. In the past 30 days, the number of successful transactions on BNB Chain surged by 151%, bringing the total number of transactions to over 500 million. This places BNB Chain as the second-most active blockchain in terms of transaction volume, behind only Solana. The growth indicates that BNB Chain continues to gain momentum in terms of network usage and overall activity.
BNB Token Reaches New Price High
Alongside the surge in user activity, BNB, the native token of BNB Chain, achieved a new all-time high. On Monday, BNB hit a price of $1,370, surpassing its previous high. This price increase came in the wake of a broader market crash caused by the announcement of US tariffs. Despite the market turmoil, BNB’s resilience highlighted the strength of the token and its ecosystem.
Binance’s co-founder, Changpeng Zhao, attributed BNB’s stability and recovery to the efforts of ecosystem players who used their resources to protect users during the crash. “Hundreds of millions out of their own pockets were used to protect users,” Zhao explained. This commitment from the BNB Chain community played a significant role in the token’s quick rebound.
Market Crash and Quick Recovery
BNB was impacted by the market-wide crash following the announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese exports. The tariffs, which were introduced as a response to China’s rare earth minerals policies, triggered a significant sell-off in the crypto market. Bitcoin, in particular, saw a sharp drop, but BNB managed to recover quickly, reaching new highs after the crash.
On Saturday, BNB dropped to $1,094, nearly a 14% decrease from its previous price. However, the token bounced back strongly by Monday, reaching a new price of $1,370. The fast recovery was seen as a sign of resilience and confidence in the BNB ecosystem, which has continued to grow in popularity despite market fluctuations.
BNB Chain’s Growth in Q3 2025
Even before the market downturn, BNB Chain had already demonstrated signs of growth. In the third quarter of 2025, the network saw a 15% increase in its Total Value Locked (TVL), reflecting growing user interest. A key factor behind this growth was the popularity of the perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) Aster, which saw significant adoption in September.
This growth in TVL highlights the ongoing development of the BNB Chain ecosystem, with users increasingly turning to decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on the network. As more projects and users engage with the chain, its position as a top DeFi network continues to strengthen.
BNB Chain’s increasing transaction volume and growing ecosystem suggest that it remains a competitive player in the blockchain space. The network’s ability to recover quickly from market disruptions and continue attracting users shows its underlying strength.
