I was watching the charts from 10:00 am to 11:30 am .. $BNB was reaching 999$ but could not break that resistance of the 1K$
Until it did.
Today is indeed a moment to remember in the crypto space: $BNB (Binance Coin) has broken through the 1000$ for the first time, setting a new all-time high.
Now, it trades at the $990's area and has an impressive $1007 as its new #ATH

In my opinion, this is more than breaking a round number, it is a milestone that shows its years of evolution. What started out as a simple utility token, giving discounts on Binance Exchange, to becoming the native token of the BNB Chain which powers cross chain bridges, staking and more.
BNB has pushed its market capitalization close to $140 billion.
At the same time, there are some rumors around of a supposed return of CZ? Do you think he could wait to announce it at the upcoming Blockchain Week (Dec 2025)?
Massive Return on Investment
For early holders, the gains (assuming they hedl) are enormous. There are reports of investors who bought BNB when it was at or under $1 or just a few dollars, who now sitting on 1000× gains.
When did you buy BNB (if you did), and did you hold some of it?
I had noticed it since the past but did not buy until it was well a 3-figure coin... But even so I am happy with what I have gained so far.
(Airdrops, launchpools, ROI etc)
Lets take a look at some important milestones of BNB through its beginning to today
| Date | Milestone |
|---|---|
| July 2017 | Binance launches, with an ICO for Binance Coin (BNB). It was initially an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. |
| 2018 | Rapid growth of Binance exchange; BNB used for trading fee discounts; Binance burning portions of profits to burn BNB. |
| April 2019 | Migration of BNB off Ethereum onto Binance Chain (its own blockchain) as the native token. |
| 2020 | Introduction of Binance Smart Chain (BSC) — a smart contract capable, EVM-compatible chain launched |
| 2022 | Rebranding: Binance Chain becomes BNB Beacon Chain, Binance Smart Chain becomes BNB Smart Chain, collectively called BNB Chain. |
| 2025 (today, Sept 18th) | BNB crosses $1,000 for the first time — new ATH.Renewed optimism from market participants. |
This all sounds very promising and BNB is the only exchange token with such a significant increase in value. I
The increase of BNB was from approximately $0.10 to $1,000 which is approximately a 10K× increase. The increase of BGB was from appx $0.0585 to $5.20, which is approximately is a 88-90× increase.
There are also some other promising tokens, but to be honest I have not really spent time on monitoring them. But now, I have come to the conclusion that we really need to keep an eye on the exchanges that are easily adapting their strategy and pay great attention to regulations and compliance, because they are the ones who will remain at the end.
What is your take on this? Do you have your eye (or own significant amount) of other exchange tokens?
I would love to know your opinion about it!
