$BNB continued its rise today while other leading digital assets suffered notable losses.
Analysts state that $BNB's strong ecosystem usage and capital structure are behind this resistance.
Ethereum fell 1.4% and XRP 0.65% in the last 24 hours, while Bitcoin traded sideways after a negative trend for most of the day. Meanwhile, $BNB rose 1.3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $1,293.
Analyst Dean Chen noted that $BNB has shown remarkable resilience amid the market-wide pullback:
“$BNB's utility within the ecosystem, token economics, and capital structure support this resilience. As Binance's native coin and the underlying gas asset of $BNB Chain, on-chain demand continues to grow in DeFi, RWA, gaming, and infrastructure projects.”
Another factor supporting $BNB's performance has been increased institutional interest. YZi Labs, the company owned by former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, recently announced a $1 billion fund for $BNB Chain developers.
“Market interest around CZ’s YZi Labs initiative has strengthened investor confidence and $BNB’s long-term outlook,” Chen said.
Chen argued that $BNB’s use within the network plays a key role in its durability:
Binance's ongoing auto-burn and quarterly burn mechanisms gradually reduce supply. This structural scarcity strengthens price flexibility as demand increases and provides a robust hedge against market declines.
