BNB Chain Sets New Record with 151% Surge in Monthly Transactions and User Activity

BNB Chain has reached a new milestone, recording its highest-ever user activity level as on-chain transactions surged 151% over the past month.

Analytics firm Nansen revealed that BNB Chain’s active addresses hit a new record of 3.46 million, surpassing the previous high of 3.44 million set in December 2023.

Nansen also reported that BNB Chain recorded over 500 million successful transactions in the past 30 days, a 151% increase from the previous month, ranking it as the second most active network after Solana, which processed 1.8 billion transactions.

Over the past year, BNB Chain ranked third with nearly 200 million active addresses, coming close to overtaking the layer-2 network Base, while Solana led with about 1.3 billion active addresses.

BNB Rebounds to a New Peak After Friday’s  Market Crash

The rise in active BNB Chain addresses coincided with its token, BNB, reaching a new all-time high of $1,370, marking a strong recovery after Friday’s market crash.

The crash followed  U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China, triggering a major market sell-off that led to nearly $20 billion in forced liquidations.

BNB also dropped to $1,094 on Saturday, about 14% lower than its $1,272 price on Friday, but it quickly recovered and reached a new all-time high after the crash.

Some traders questioned why BNB wasn’t hit hard by the crash, but Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao said it stayed strong because some members of the BNB Chain community spent hundreds of millions of their own pocket to protect users.

On Monday, Binance announced it had airdropped $45 million worth of BNB tokens to memecoin traders affected by Friday’s market crash.

BNB Chain Sees 15% TVL Rise

Before the market crash, BNB Chain was already growing, with its total value locked rising by 15% in the third quarter of 2025.

According to DappRadar, the rise was due to the launch of the ASter DEX, which gained popularity in September.

This growth in TVL highlights the development of BNB Chain’s ecosystem, with more users adopting its DeFi applications. As more projects and users join, its position as a top DeFi network continues to strengthen.
