Standard Chartered Predicts BNB Could Quadruple by 2028 as Benchmark Crypto
BNB, the native token of Binance’s blockchain, is poised for a 360% price surge by 2028 according to Standard Chartered. The bank’s analysis suggests BNB trades like an unweighted basket of Bitcoin and Ethereum, despite its limited utility in decentralized applications.
Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, notes BNB’s price action mirrors major cryptocurrencies even as developer activity lags behind competing chains. The token currently ranks as the fifth-largest digital asset by market capitalization.
This bullish projection comes amid growing institutional interest in crypto benchmarks, with BNB’s exchange-linked utility creating unique valuation dynamics separate from its technical adoption metrics.
