BNB Chain Emerges as the Leading Hub for Tokenized Assets

Binance’s BNB Chain is becoming a leading platform for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. This comes as its platform is attracting both big investors and everyday users, allowing tokenization of gold, U.S. Treasuries, and stocks. At the same time, its native token BNB is rallying strongly, coming close to breaking the $1,000 mark. 

BNB Chain Builds a Complete RWA Ecosystem

BNB Chain has pushed forward in its mission to lead the RWA sector by introducing a complete full-stack architecture that seamlessly connects every stage of the process. At the core of this system is the BNB Smart Chain, a network built for secure, low-cost transactions with instant settlement for fast asset movement. 

On top of it is opBNB, a rollup layer that boosts speed and scalability, making it easy to handle large amounts of tokenized assets. 

Supporting both is Greenfield, BNB Chain’s storage layer that keeps data safe, transparent, and tamper-proof to build trust. Together, these layers create a strong system that solves key challenges in tokenization. 

These platforms also make it easier for both institutions and individuals to bring real-world assets on-chain.

Institutional Adoption Gains Momentum

BNB Chain’s success shows in the big projects that are choosing to build on it. In July, Circle’s USYC, a tokenized money market fund backed by Binance, expanded to the network. BNB Chain now hosts 73% of USYC’s $669 million market cap, making it the top platform globally for the product. 

Similarly, Matrixdock’s XAUm, a gold-backed token, recorded $22 million in trading volume last year. Out of this, $21 million came through PancakeSwap, the decentralized exchange built on BNB Smart Chain.

Beyond gold and treasuries, tokenized equities from players like Ondo Finance Global Markets and BackedFi are also expanding onto the network. Kraken and Backed recently brought their xStocks tokenized stocks to BNB Chain alongside Solana. This showed trust in BNB Chain’s ability to manage large-scale tokenization and support the wide use of U.S. stocks.

BNB Chain is not only attracting big institutions but also retail investors. Its decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols make it easy for everyday investors to buy, sell, and trade tokenized assets quickly.

BNB Nears $1,000 as Adoption and Demand Surge

BNB’s growing use is reflected in its price performance. The coin recently hit a new high of $995, jumping 4.23% in one day. 

BNB’s trading volume rose to $3.74 billion, and futures open interest passed $2 billion, showing strong demand. Analyst Ali Martinez says breaking above $1,000 could push BNB to $1,300.

Furthermore, as BNB’s value rises, even passing big banks like UBS, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao urged banks to add BNB to their services. The founder sees BNB as useful for payments, trading, and blockchain tools, aiming to make it a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain technology.
