BNB Chain is currently demonstrating remarkable strength and growth, shattering its own records for user activity just days after a severe market crash. This surge is not only reflected in on-chain metrics but also in the impressive price performance of its native token, BNB, highlighting a powerful recovery and growing investor confidence.
Record-Bedrock of User Activity
The foundation of this rally is a historic peak in on-chain activity. Data from analytics platform Nansen shows that sender-only active addresses on BNB Chain reached a new all-time high of 3.46 million on October 13, 2025, surpassing a record that had stood since December 2023.
This user growth is part of a broader trend of soaring network usage. In the 30 days leading up to mid-October, the number of successful transactions on the network surged by 151%, totaling over 500 million transactions. This massive volume places BNB Chain as the second-most active blockchain by transaction count, trailing only behind Solana. The surge in activity coincides with a 15% quarter-over-quarter increase in Total Value Locked (TVL) in Q3 2025, fueled partly by the launch of the perpetual DEX Asterix in September.
BNB’s Impressive Price Rally
This fundamental strength has directly translated into standout market performance for the BNB token. The native token of the ecosystem rallied to a new all-time high of $1,370 on October 13, 2025.
This achievement is particularly notable given the market-wide crash that occurred just days before, triggered by an announcement of new U.S. tariffs on China, which led to nearly $20 billion in forced liquidations. During this turmoil, BNB’s price dipped to around $1,094 on Saturday but staged a powerful recovery to reach its new peak by Monday. This 80% price increase over the previous three months also propelled BNB to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, flipping XRP.
Drivers and Future Outlook
Several key factors are driving this growth and will be crucial to watch in the coming months. The swift action from the BNB Chain ecosystem, including a $283 million user compensation program from Binance following the crash, is seen as a key reason for the rapid recovery and a bullish signal for investor confidence.
Technically, the rally appears to have a solid foundation. Analysis of the weekly chart suggests a “bull flag” pattern is intact, with some setting a price target as high as $1,825-$1,870. Furthermore, the network’s low transaction fees and high throughput continue to attract users and developers, particularly in the DeFi and memecoin sectors, creating a virtuous cycle of activity and value.
