Nano Labs Acquires $50M in BNB, Eyes 10% Long-Term Hold
In a post by CryptoWendyO, Nano Labs announced a $50 million purchase of 74,315 BNB via OTC deals. The Chinese Web3 infrastructure provider now holds $160 million in crypto reserves, including both BTC and BNB. This transaction marks the first phase of Nano’s strategic expansion into BNB as a treasury asset.
According to a report by Nano Labs Ltd., the firm intends to purchase up to $1 billion in BNB over time. They plan to execute this through private placements and convertible notes in multiple phases. The long-term goal is to hold between 5% and 10% of BNB’s circulating supply, underscoring a deep institutional belief in BNB’s role.
Such shifts are prompting major investors to reassess their treasury strategies, with scalable assets like BNB at the core. The move signals rising conviction that BNB can function not only as a utility but also as a strategic reserve. This plays directly into Binance’s expanding ecosystem and infrastructure dominance.
BNB Chain Leads DEX Volume Across Q2 Trading Metrics
BNB Chain dominated decentralized exchange activity in Q2 2025, maintaining a clear lead over competitors. According to AltCryptoGems, DEX volume for BNB surged past $18 billion in late May. Solana followed with a steady rise into the $12 billion range, while Ethereum remained notably flat.
The chart data, shared via CryptoRank and ArtemisAnalytics, shows that BNB volume fluctuated but stayed consistently higher. Several sharp rallies reinforced its status as the top trading chain during volatile market stretches. Ethereum’s flatline reflects reduced usage or trader migration to faster, cheaper alternatives like BNB and Solana.
Moreover, BNB’s lead widened in May and held into June, signaling structural strength across liquidity and user demand. Solana narrowed the gap late in the quarter but never challenged BNB’s dominance. Therefore, BNB remains the primary liquidity hub across decentralized markets entering Q3.
Price Holds Strong as Market Cap Recovers Above $93B
BNB is currently priced at $663.90, reflecting a 3.33% weekly gain and rising investor confidence. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the market cap stands at $93.53 billion, with a 24-hour volume of $1.5 billion. This level marks a 0.5% increase in value despite a 4.37% dip in trading volume.
From June 27 to July 1, BNB showed strong price action followed by sharp but brief intraday pullbacks. The market cap dipped below $91 billion on July 2 before rebounding toward $93.53 billion by July 4. This recovery confirms renewed accumulation following a technical correction.
BNB’s circulating supply stands at 140.88 million, fully matching the total supply. The volume-to-market-cap ratio is 1.61%, suggesting continued activity despite lower daily turnover. With a profile score of 80%, BNB maintains consistent visibility and robust tracking across all major metrics.
