"BNB climbs 1.6% to $872, surpassing XRP to reclaim fourth-largest market cap amid strong ecosystem and institutional interest."
What to know:
- BNB rose 2.5% to $872, outperforming the broader market which gained 1.4%.
- The token's action showed higher lows and sustained gains, and increased trading volume.
- Market participants are watching whether BNB can hold above $870 and challenge resistance at $880, with a break higher potentially targeting $900.
BNB extended gains over the past 24 hours, rising nearly 2.5% to trade at $872 amid a broader cryptocurrency market recovery that saw the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index rise 1.4% in the same period.
The token outperformed most major cryptocurrencies during the session, holding firm above the $850 support level as volatility weighed on the wider market, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

Trading data shows BNB rose above $851 and then climbed steadily through the period, reaching a high of about $876 before consolidating. Daily volume went well above recent averages, suggesting participation from larger traders rather than short-term retail flows.
Price action followed a familiar pattern for major player accumulation. BNB posted higher lows throughout the day and held gains during periods when other tokens pulled back.
Interest in BNB has also been supported by recent announcements from BNB Chain ecosystem participants like PancakeSwap, which earlier unveiled a new onchain prediction market incubated by it called Probable.
For now, market participants are watching whether BNB can hold above $870 and challenge resistance in the $880 range. A sustained break higher could refocus attention on the $900 level, while a drop below $850 would test whether recent gains reflect durable accumulation or short-term positioning.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC
The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
