Binance Coin (BNB), the native token of Binance exchange, which also powers the Binance Smart Chain, has soared to a new peak. BSC is Ethereum's major rival by DeFi projects at the moment, with fees much lower than what ETH offers.
At press time, BNB is changing hands at $618, and it keeps going up.
Since the beginning of 2021, the coin has surged a whopping 1,500 percent. By now, its market capitalization has reached $95,463,278,717.

When Binance conducted its ICO back in 2017, BNB was going at something around $1.
By now, Binance has surged to $632 on the Binance exchange. The rally has been growing at the speed of light as BNB broke above the $400 level on only April 6—less than a week ago.
