BNB Surges to New Highs Following Market Crash
The surge in active addresses on the BNB Chain coincided with its native token, BNB, reaching a new all-time high of $1,370 on Monday. This recovery came after a marketwide crash on Friday, where Bitcoin plummeted to $102,000 following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China.
Despite being affected by the market crash, BNB quickly bounced back, reaching a new all-time high after dipping to $1,094 on Saturday.

Community members questioned why BNB was less impacted by the crash, with Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao attributing its resilience to ecosystem players who protected users by investing hundreds of millions.
Binance also announced a $283 million compensation payment to users affected by certain Binance Earn products and distributed $45 million in BNB tokens to memecoin traders affected by the market crash.
