BNB overtakes SOL to become fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap

Due to a certain number of progress planned in the BNB 2025 chain roadmap, BNB has exceeded soil to become the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

In the past 24 hours, the BNB market capitalization increased 12% to $ 104 billion, while Solana’s decreased from $ 0.1% to $ 95 billion. In addition, the chain parameters have improved. Transaction costs increased by 115% in last week due to an increase in user activity on the BNB channel. This contrasts sharply with other blockchains where the costs have decreased, such as Solana, Ethereum and Base.

The overvoltage of the price and activity of BNB users results from the announcement of major improvements on the BNB channel. According to 2025 of the BNB channel roadmapEmphasis will be placed on improving performance and improving the user experience.

One of the most notable changes is a plan to reduce the latency of the blocks by three seconds to less than a second, allowing faster transaction treatment. The network also intends to introduce without gas transactions. Users will be able to use stablescoins or other BEP-20 tokens to pay transaction costs for gas-free transactions.

The release of smart wallets with AI capabilities is another important development. Intelligent portfolios fed by AI should improve the experience for new and experienced users. Managing the keys, performing several transactions at the same time and paying the gas will be easier with these wallets. The BNB channel also plans AI tools that could help users manage their portfolios, compare prices and automate trading.

In related news, Changpeng “Cz” Zhao, the founder of Binance, triggered the memecoin freshness. CZ asked a simple question about X (formerly Twitter) to its 9.8 million followers, causing rumors on a new same. Cz has previously been a fervent critical of the same, noting that manufacturers should focus on usefulness.

If Cz launches a same, it could further increase the activity on the chain of the BNB chain and lead to an increase in BNB price. So far, Solana has been the favorite channel for same. The massive attraction of CZ for the cryptographic community could change the scale in favor of BNB, at least in the short term.
