BNB Surpasses UBS as Zhao Encourages Bank Adoption
Changpeng Zhao said banks should begin integrating BNB, especially now that its value has exceeded that of Union Bank of Switzerland. UBS has a market cap of $129.08 billion, while BNB recently hit $130.64 billion. Zhao noted that BNB is already used in trading, payments, and blockchain services across various sectors.
“Banks need to adopt BNB. As a small community member, I am happy to help any bank integrate,” Zhao posted. BNB is widely used for paying trading fees on Binance and in various decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
