Date: 2025-08-15 Author: Gabriel Deangelo Categories: CRYPTO PAYMENTS
The BNB token issued by the Binance exchange has overtaken Nike in market capitalization, which has become a significant event for the digital asset market. During the bullish trend that started on August 3, the coin rate increased by 18%, approaching the historical maximum of $861.3, recorded at the end of July. At the time of publication, the BNB capitalization reached $117.91 billion, while Nike's figure is estimated at $110.61 billion.
This news did not go unnoticed by the former head of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, who publicly recommended that investors continue to hold BNB, hinting at the prospect of further growth. In his opinion, the current trend is capable of bringing the coin to new record levels.
A fresh report from Hash Global also brought additional optimism to investors. Its analysts have presented a forecast according to which the BNB value could reach $2,039 in the long term. At the current price of about $854.1, this means potential growth of about 139%. Zhao, commenting on these figures, noted that previous forecasts by experts have often proven accurate, which increases the credibility of their estimates.
According to Hash Global specialists, the key factor in the growth of BNB is the active use of the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem. The blockchain continues to develop, and its architecture involves a regular reduction in the volume of tokens in circulation. A similar process is observed in the Ethereum network, where the number of coins has decreased by about 20,000 units since May 2025. Such a decrease in supply, combined with growing demand, creates conditions for a steady increase in the asset price.
The growth of BNB to a level higher than the capitalization of a global corporation like Nike symbolizes the expanding influence of cryptocurrencies on the global financial system. If analysts' forecasts come true, BNB will be able to gain a foothold among the world's largest assets and attract even more institutional and private investors.
Experts note that the current movement in the cryptocurrency market reflects a broader trend - more and more users and companies are beginning to view digital assets not only as a speculative instrument, but also as a long-term investment. In the context of the ongoing bullish trend, attention to BNB and other large tokens is likely to only increase.
Thus, overtaking Nike in capitalization has become not just a symbolic milestone, but another confirmation that the cryptocurrency market is capable of significant achievements and has already firmly taken its place in global investment strategies.
