2026 has been a difficult period for the cryptocurrency market: since the start of the year, each of the five largest crypto assets by market capitalisation has posted double-digit losses. Among this group, Solana ($SOL) has suffered the most, losing more than 47% of its value since January 1. To understand where the market may head next, we asked several leading modern artificial intelligence (AI) models to forecast the year-end prices of $BTC, $ETH, $BNB, $XRP and $SOL. Their answers were, to put it mildly, intriguing.

A significant event has occurred in the cryptocurrency market: $XRP has surpassed Binance’s native token $BNB in market capitalization, becoming the fourth-largest cryptocurrency.

New details have emerged regarding CEA Industries (BNC), a BNB treasury company backed by YZi Labs, the investment arm of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

The American cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has listed Binance Coin (BNB). The altcoin is now available for trading and custody for users in the United States on a regulated platform. This is an important milestone for BNB, as Gemini is known for its cautious approach to adding new assets, especially in the United States.

BNB Foundation has completed its 33rd quarterly BNB token burn, permanently removing 1.44 million BNB worth nearly $1.66 billion from circulation. This reduces the total supply to 137.73 million BNB, marking another milestone toward the project’s ultimate goal — reducing total supply to 100 million BNB through deflationary mechanisms.

BNB (BNB), the native token of Binance, surged after the pardon of its founder, Changpeng Zhao. Following the news, BNB jumped 6.5% intraday, and by the end of the day was up 2%, outperforming major cryptocurrencies. At the time of writing, the token is trading around $1,100.

On the morning of October 13, Binance Coin (BNB) posted strong gains, surging 16% in 24 hours and reaching a new all-time high of $1,370. According to CoinGecko, the exchange token is currently trading near $1,300.

David Namdar, one of the founding partners of Galaxy Digital, stated that BNB’s rise to $1,300 is “neither a coincidence nor a random spike,” but a reflection of the market’s growing trust in the network. He emphasized that Binance Coin has become one of the most interesting cryptocurrencies on the market, with a huge number of traders closely watching its movements.

According to data from Messari, BNB’s “share of attention” has soared by more than 250% in just one week, reaching 5.09%. This metric reflects public awareness, discussion level, and investor interest in the network.

On the weekly chart, BNB’s price has surged nearly 30%, and on Tuesday, October 7, the exchange token set a new all-time high at $1,336.

BNB has set a new all-time high, surpassing the $1,200 mark. Such rapid growth often raises concerns about market overheating or the formation of a price bubble. However, on-chain data from Binance Smart Chain (BSC) tell a different story — the rally is supported by solid network fundamentals.

Kazakhstan’s authorities have decided to invest not in Bitcoin, preferred by many institutional investors, but in the cryptocurrency BNB (BNB), issued by the Binance exchange.

Major global corporations continue to actively integrate cryptocurrencies into their treasury strategies. Alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, interest in altcoins such as XRP, Solana, and BNB is also growing. The latest player in this field is Jiuzi Holdings, a Chinese company listed on Nasdaq and operating in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure sector.

External monitoring was appointed as part of a plea agreement regarding violations of U.S. laws. In November 2023, Binance agreed to pay $4.3 billion in fines, and its founder Changpeng Zhao stepped down as CEO, serving four months in prison.

Binance’s native token continues to show impressive momentum, surpassing traditional business giants like Nike ($185 billion) and DoorDash ($48 billion) in market capitalization. At the current price of $795 and a market cap of $120 billion, BNB has closely approached Interactive Brokers ($127 billion) and MicroStrategy ($135 billion).
