Binance Smart Chain is a top dog in cryptocurrency. <\/span>The digital currency was initially launched in 2017 on the Ethereum blockchain<\/a> as an ERC-20 token, but soon moved to its blockchain as a fork of Ethereum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under Binance\u2019s CEO Changpeng Zhao, the token had a successful ICO<\/a> of 100 million BNB. Today BNB sits firmly in the top five tokens by market cap due to low network fees and many benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Standard Chartered is betting big on Binance\u2019s native token. In a recent report reviewed by 99Bitcoins, the firm projected BNB could hit $1,275 by the end of next year, and more than quadruple to $2,775 by 2028.<\/p>\n

With that said, BNB is one of the most controversial cryptos in the entire market. <\/span>Let\u2019s find out why:<\/span><\/p>\n

Binance Smart Chain is Mooning, Why?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The\u00a0 BNB token has a few use cases:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Binance Credit Card Benefits:<\/b> Pay for goods and services all around the world with BNB via the Binance card and get cashback in BNB<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Staking:<\/b> Binance offers <\/span>BNB staking<\/span><\/a>, flexible or locked, at about 7-20% APY.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Lower Trading Fees:<\/b> Binance Coin grants fee reductions on the Binance exchange and is commonly called a \u2018discount coupon.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Binance employs a unique consensus mechanism, called the Tendermint Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant (BFT), which involves different types of nodes (validator, witness, and accelerator nodes).<\/span><\/p>\n

      We\u2019d be remiss not to mention Binance\u2019s absurd popularity as an exchange and the fact that some fear it is too centralized<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

      At just under $700 today, that would mark a seismic shift in valuation.<\/p>\n

      Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick compared BNB\u2019s trajectory to a hybrid of Bitcoin and Ethereum, suggesting its path will closely follow the two giants in terms of returns and volatility.<\/p>\n
