    BNB Chain Sets Record 3.46M Daily Active Addresses

    KryptonewsBy No Comments3 Mins Read

    Daily active addresses on BNB Chain hit an all-time high on Monday, as the blockchain’s native token reached a new price record. 

    Analytics platform Nansen revealed that sender-only active addresses on BNB Chain — addresses that sent a transaction, excluding internal address transfers — reached a new all-time high of 3.46 million on Monday, passing the previous record of 3.44 million in December 2023. 

    Nansen data also showed that in the last 30 days, the number of successful transactions on BNB Chain passed 500 million, surging by 151% compared to the previous 30-day period. The network is second only to Solana, which recorded nearly 1.8 billion transactions in the time frame. 

    When it comes to active addresses in the last year, BNB Chain ranks third with nearly 200 million active addresses, almost surpassing the layer-2 network Base. Solana remains at the top of the metric, with approximately 1.3 billion active addresses over the last year.

    BNB bounced to new highs after the Friday market crash

    The surge in active addresses on BNB Chain coincided with its native token, BNB (BNB), reaching a new all-time high on Monday. CoinMarketCap data showed that BNB surged to a new all-time high of $1,370 on Monday, recovering strongly after the marketwide crash on Friday. 

    Bitcoin plunged to $102,000 on Friday after US President Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on China. Trump said the tariffs were a response to China attempting to impose export restrictions on rare earth minerals, which are crucial for computer chips. 

    This triggered a market sell-off that led to nearly $20 billion in forced liquidations, outpacing other crashes like the FTX collapse. 

    BNB was also affected by the crash, plunging to $1,094 on Saturday, a nearly 14% from its $1,272 price on Friday. However, unlike other cryptocurrency tokens, the asset quickly recovered, reaching a new all-time high after the market crash.

    While some community members doubt why BNB was “barely affected” by the crash, Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao defended the asset, saying that BNB was strong because BNB Chain’s ecosystem players “took hundreds of millions out of their own pockets to protect users.”

    On Monday, Binance announced that it had completed a $283 million compensation payment to users affected by the depegging of certain Binance Earn products relating to USDE, BNSOL and WBETH. 

    The exchange also said it airdropped $45 million in BNB tokens to memecoin traders affected by the Friday market crash.

    BNB Chain emerged as a top DeFi network in Q3

    Before the market crash on Friday, BNB Chain had already shown signs of renewed user interest. According to DappRadar, the network saw a 15% gain in total value locked (TVL) in the third quarter of 2025. 

    DappRadar attributed the increase in BNB Chain TVL to the launch of the perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) Aster, which became popular in September.
