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.

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
