Network surpasses 500 million transactions, ranks second only to Solana amid strong token recovery
BNB Chain has seen a historic spike in user activity, reaching new highs in both transactions and active addresses, according to data from analytics platform Nansen.
In the past 30 days, the network recorded over 500 million successful transactions, marking a 151% surge compared to the previous month. This milestone cements BNB Chain’s position as the second-most active blockchain, behind only Solana, which registered around 1.8 billion transactions during the same period.
On Monday, daily sender-only active addresses — wallets that initiated at least one transaction — hit an all-time high of 3.46 million, surpassing the previous record of 3.44 million set in December 2023.
“BNB Chain continues to demonstrate strong organic user activity and consistent developer engagement,” Nansen reported, noting that the rise suggests growing demand for decentralized applications (dApps) built on the network.
Over the past year, BNB Chain has attracted nearly 200 million active addresses, ranking third behind Solana and Base, reflecting its expanding ecosystem of DeFi platforms, gaming dApps, and social applications.
BNB Price Rebounds to All-Time High After Market Crash
The surge in network activity coincided with BNB’s price rally to a new all-time high of $1,370 on Monday. This rebound followed a sharp decline during Friday’s $19 billion crypto market crash, when Bitcoin plunged to $102,000 after U.S. President Donald Trump’s 100% tariff announcement on China.
Despite dropping to $1,094 during the turmoil, BNB quickly recovered, outperforming other major assets. Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) attributed the resilience to the ecosystem’s proactive defense, saying that BNB Chain participants collectively injected hundreds of millions of dollars to stabilize user portfolios.
On Monday, Binance confirmed a $283 million compensation payout to users affected by the depegging of assets linked to USDE, BNSOL, and WBETH, along with a $45 million BNB airdrop for memecoin traders impacted by the crash.
BNB Chain Strengthens Its DeFi Position
Even before the volatility, BNB Chain’s fundamentals were improving. DappRadar reported a 15% increase in total value locked (TVL) during Q3 2025, driven largely by the success of Aster, a new perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) launched in September.
With record-breaking user activity, rising DeFi participation, and a rapid recovery post-crash, BNB Chain continues to solidify its place as one of the top-performing blockchain ecosystems in 2025.
