Market Cap Competition with Solana
BNB briefly reclaimed the fifth position in cryptocurrency rankings by market capitalization. The token edged out Solana when its price reached $903, pushing market cap to $125 billion.
Solana has since regained its position with a market cap of $131.47 billion. The difference between the two tokens remains narrow at approximately $630 million.

The next psychological price level for BNB sits at $1,000. Market participants are watching for a consistent trade above current levels to reach this target.
Institutional interest continues growing with Nano Labs acquiring $90 million worth of BNB for treasury purposes. This purchase demonstrates corporate confidence in the token’s long-term value.
A viral social media post claimed an investor with $300 in BNB from 2017 is now worth over $25 million. Zhao questioned the claim by asking for the wallet address, but received no response.
BNB currently trades at $941.52, representing a 3.52% increase over 24 hours with volume maintaining elevated levels at $2.68 billion.
