Binance Coin (BNB) has surprised everyone in the market when it registered a price increase of almost 16% in the last 24 hours. The virtual currency was able to surpass Bitcoin Cash (BCH) as the 7th largest cryptocurrency in the world. Now it is very close to Chainlink (LINK) and Polkadot (DOT). 

Binance Coin Surges 15%

Binance Coin, one of the largest cryptocurrencies in the world has registered a massive growth of over 15% in the last 24 hours. Binance Coin price reached $30.82 per coin. The entire crypto community is very excited about it and how the virtual currency is growing. 

One of the main reasons behind this price increase could be related to the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) launch a few days ago. This blockchain network that aims at supporting smart contracts and also the staking of BNB tokens. Users can become validators and gather BNB tokens on this new blockchain network. 

This network has also become one of the largest in the market in terms of usage. According to Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, the transaction volume of the company reached 10% of the Ethereum (ETH) network just a few days after the official launch. 

About it, Changpeng Zhao stated on Twitter:

“Binance Smart Chain (#BSC) transaction volume reached 10% of ETH network a couple days after launching. Let’s help bringing down the gas fees.”
