What to know:
- BNB's price plummeted 6% to $1,020, breaching critical support at $1,080 and accompanied by a surge in trading volume, suggesting large-scale repositioning and mounting bearish pressure.
- The breakdown occurred during a broader crypto market downturn, with BNB's move possibly reflecting spillover effects from the drawdown.
- Metrics show 67% of BNB is held by the public, with Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao holding less than 1%, hinting at reduced concentration risk.
BNB Chain’s native token, BNB, slid more than 6% in the past 24 hours, falling from an intraday high of $1,088 to $1,020.
The sell-off pushed BNB through critical support at $1,080 and signaled mounting bearish pressure as technical patterns aligned with elevated trading volume, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

The breakdown was accompanied by a spike in trading activity, with 24-hour volume hitting 3.01 million tokens, nearly double the average. This kind of volume surge often reflects large-scale repositioning, possibly from institutional players or algorithmic trading systems reacting to breached support levels.
BNB's fall also follows a pattern of lower highs throughout the last 24 hours, showing weakness in each attempted rebound. Every rally toward the $1,070-$1,075 range was met with renewed selling.
The broader crypto market has been under pressure, and BNB’s move may reflect spillover effects from macro or sector-wide developments.
Still, some metrics show longer-term stability: YZi Labs, the family office of Binance co-founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, wrote in a report that 67% of BNB is now held by the public. CZ himself holds less than 1%, hinting at reduced concentration risk.
Unless BNB reclaims $1,080, momentum points toward the $1,000 mark as the next key psychological and technical support level.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
