BNB Shatters $929 All-Time High as CZ Urges Banks to Embrace Binance Coin
BNB rockets past previous records—hitting a staggering $929 high that's got the entire crypto space buzzing.
CZ's Banking Challenge
Binance's CEO isn't just celebrating—he's calling on traditional banks to adopt BNB, pushing for a future where crypto and fiat don't just coexist but collaborate. No more waiting for legacy systems to catch up; he wants action now.
Market Momentum Builds
Traders are jumping in, fueled by the surge and CZ's bold vision. This isn't just another pump; it's a statement—one that could redefine how banks interact with digital assets. Forget slow-moving financial dinosaurs; the future is knocking, and it's holding a Binance Coin.
Of course, bankers will probably still take a meeting to decide whether to have another meeting about it. Some things never change.
BNB market cap surpasses Union Bank of Switzerland
The milestone marks BNB’s continued upward momentum, with its market cap now surpassing UBS, the world’s largest private bank.
Analysts see further upside, with projections suggesting a potential rise to $1,300. The token’s outperformance is supported by increased stablecoin inflows to Binance and quarterly token burns, while Zhao’s call for institutional adoption signals growing ties between crypto and traditional finance.
Zhao posted on X that “Banks need to adopt BNB (BNB). As a small community member, I am happy to help any bank integrate.”

The token has traded within a seven-day range of $857.01 to $929, showing consistent upward momentum.
Analyst Ali sees further upside potential, posting that “BNB in the middle of a bullish breakout! Target sits at $1,300.” This projection WOULD be a 40% gain from current levels and suggests the recent all-time high could be just the beginning of a larger move.

— Ali (@ali_charts) September 13, 2025The strong performance comes as BNB diverges from broader cryptocurrency market trends.
Analyst Cas Abbé noted that over the past 30 days, Bitcoin is down approximately 6% while BNB has gained around 10%, with a negative correlation of -0.27 between the two assets.
Stablecoin inflows and supply burns drive momentum
Two key factors are driving BNB’s outperformance relative to other major cryptocurrencies.
Abbé mentioned that stablecoin inflows on Binance have increased from $32 billion in August to $38 billion currently. This is a 19% increase in idle liquidity that tends to rotate into major tokens during volatile periods.
$BNB is quietly diverging from BTC.
Over the past 30 days:
• BTC is down ~6%
• BNB is up ~10%
• Correlation: -0.27 (negative)
Two drivers behind this divergence:
1. Stablecoin inflow on Binance
ERC-20 stablecoin reserves ROSE from $32B in August to $38B now (+19%).

The second driver involves BNB’s supply mechanics through quarterly auto burns. These scheduled token burns reduce the overall supply, while rising reserves create favorable supply-demand dynamics heading into Q4.
The combination of increased stablecoin reserves and systematic supply reduction creates support for BNB’s price action.
Zhao’s call for bank adoption adds another dimension to BNB’s growth story. His offer to “help any bank integrate” suggests Binance is actively pursuing institutional partnerships that could bring traditional finance exposure to the token.
