BNB Chain Achieves Milestone with 3.46M Active Addresses in a Day

On Monday, BNB Chain experienced a record number of daily active addresses, coinciding with a new price peak for its native token.

Analytics platform Nansen reported that sender-only active addresses on BNB Chain — those that initiated a transaction, excluding internal transfers — reached an all-time high of 3.46 million on Monday, surpassing the previous record of 3.44 million set in December 2023.

Nansen’s data also indicated that over the past 30 days, the volume of successful transactions on BNB Chain exceeded 500 million, marking a 151% increase from the previous month’s figures. The only network to exceed this is Solana, which boasted nearly 1.8 billion transactions during the same period.

In terms of active addresses over the last year, BNB Chain holds the third position with nearly 200 million active addresses, nearly catching up with the layer-2 network Base. Solana leads in this category, with approximately 1.3 billion active addresses in the past year.

BNB rises to new heights following Friday’s market crash

The increase in active addresses coincided with BNB (BNB) reaching a new all-time high on Monday. According to CoinMarketCap, BNB jumped to a new all-time high of $1,370 on Monday, showing a strong recovery after the widespread market crash on Friday.

Bitcoin had fallen to $102,000 on Friday after US President Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on China, stating that this was in response to China attempting to impose export limitations on rare earth minerals critical for computer chips.

This announcement triggered a sell-off that resulted in nearly $20 billion in forced liquidations, exceeding past crashes, including the FTX collapse.

BNB was also impacted by the downturn, dropping to $1,094 on Saturday, a nearly 14% decline from its $1,272 price on Friday. In contrast to other cryptocurrency tokens, BNB swiftly recovered, reaching a new all-time high following the crash.

While some community members questioned why BNB was “barely affected” by the crash, Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao defended the cryptocurrency, asserting that BNB remained robust because players in the BNB Chain ecosystem “contributed hundreds of millions to safeguard users.”

On Monday, Binance announced it had completed a $283 million compensation package for users impacted by the depegging of specific Binance Earn products linked to USDE, BNSOL, and WBETH.

The exchange also revealed it airdropped $45 million in BNB tokens to memecoin traders who suffered losses during the market crash on Friday.

BNB Chain stands out as a leading DeFi network in Q3

Prior to the Friday market downturn, BNB Chain had already demonstrated a resurgence in user engagement. According to DappRadar, the network recorded a 15% increase in total value locked (TVL) in the third quarter of 2025.

DappRadar attributed BNB Chain’s TVL growth to the introduction of the perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) Aster, which gained traction in September.
