- BNB stayed strong while major altcoins dropped 50–90% in 2025.
- Active users and TVL surged, showing strong adoption and investor confidence.
- Bulls eye $600 breakout as short sellers wait to drag price toward $520.
Most top altcoins have been bleeding hard this year. Solana, Ethereum, and others are down 50% to over 90% from their highs. Some investors feel like they’ve been caught in a slow-moving train wreck. But somehow, Binance’s BNB is not part of the wreckage. This coin hit $720 in December and has managed to stay surprisingly strong while others collapsed. It’s not just surviving—it’s standing tall in the middle of a storm.

Why BNB Refuses to Sink
While other altcoins fell off a cliff, BNB only dipped about 10% compared to Bitcoin. That’s incredibly solid when stacked against Solana’s 44% or Ethereum’s painful 60% slide. Those numbers aren’t random. There’s real strength under the hood. On-chain analyst João Wedson says strong fundamentals and real adoption are holding things together. BNB has real-world traction and a growing user base to back it up.
BNB Smart Chain hit nearly 3 million active users in February—a peak for the current cycle. Even with bearish vibes across the crypto market and regulatory headaches, active addresses have stayed above 1 million. That shows real staying power. People are still using the chain, no matter what the market throws at it. The meme coin spotlight even shifted from Solana to BNB during February’s craze. That shift helped bring more attention, traffic, and excitement to the chain.
BNB’s TVL and The $600 Wall
BNB’s TVL also surged, jumping from $4 billion to $7 billion in late 2024. What’s even interesting is that TVL hasn’t dipped below $6 billion for months, even in a shaky market. Investors clearly see something solid here. Confidence hasn’t been shaken. On the price chart, $600 stands out like a flashing neon sign. This level lines up with the 50-day EMA and sits smack in the middle of a multi-month trading channel.
Bulls need to break through this wall to keep momentum alive. If they fail, bears will likely pounce and drag the price down to $520. This battle zone around $600 has become a pressure point. Traders are watching closely. One push in either direction could decide where the next big move heads. Compared to most large-cap altcoins, BNB feels like the last one still standing.
Binance chain continues to draw users. The numbers back up the hype. And investors who stayed in the game have done way better than those who bet on Solana or Ethereum. For now, BNB isn’t just riding out the storm—it’s turning heads, breaking patterns, and rewriting what strength looks like during a market dip.
