While most altcoins traded sideways, BNB’s steady rise signals renewed investor confidence in the Binance ecosystem and its solid long-term fundamentals.
The rally coincides with Binance’s ongoing ecosystem expansion, including new feature rollouts on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), one of the leading networks for DeFi, gaming, and decentralized apps.
Analysts attribute BNB’s price surge to rising on-chain activity, higher demand for gas fees, and growing token utility across the Binance ecosystem.
Meanwhile, BNB recently soared to a record high of $1,190, sparking bullish speculation that the $2,000 mark could be its next major target.
 
Franklin Templeton Makes a Strategic Leap into Tokenized Finance
Franklin Templeton, a $1.6 trillion asset management giant, is deepening its blockchain push by expanding its proprietary Benji Investments Platform to the BNB Chain, signaling a major step toward broader tokenization and on-chain finance adoption.
Notably, this move integrates Franklin Templeton’s on-chain infrastructure with the BNB Chain ecosystem, enabling the asset manager to launch tokenized mutual funds, money market products, and other real-world assets (RWAs) on a fast, scalable network, broadening access for both institutional and retail investors.
Launched in 2021, Benji has been at the forefront of fund digitization, tokenizing traditional assets like the U.S. Government Money Fund across Ethereum, Stellar, Avalanche, and Polygon.
Its latest innovation, the Intraday Yield feature, allows yields to accrue by the second instead of daily, giving investors real-time returns, greater flexibility, and enhanced liquidity in on-chain finance.
