Nobody seems to talk much about Binance’s BNB - whether on YouTube or Reddit. Yet, it’s currently about 1.21x above its 2021 all-time high and still hovering near its recent peak, while BTC and ETH have seen much deeper corrections. Why is it flying under the radar? It’s been one of the most stable major tokens to hold over the past two years.

R/cc is heavily us biased and binance still isn’t available for us users. Which makes me highly skeptical of the price, but damn, you can’t argue with a chart like that..

Binance is available for US users on binance.us

I sold a few BNB last year and sent the stablecoins to my Coinbase account, and from there my US checking account - all in day. BNB to USD in my bank account in 24 hours. I've held BNB since 2017.

Only time I had bnb was to erase my money in a swap to safemoon 😭

Binance.us… meh. Coinbase kraken and Gemini are better in all ways.

In which way? And why are you skeptical of the price? It has literally been almost as stable as BTC. There's a big market in Asia. Binance is the biggest crypto exchange in the world.

Well as a person in the us, binance isn’t an option so everything is better to me.

I’m skeptical about bnb the same way I’m skeptical of jpm when it comes to money laundering. CZ pled guilty because serious shit went down.

I live in the US and it is an option. I originally started with Binance. Then it was banned, and I had to migrate all my tokens to binance.us. Binance.us has recently allowed checking and credit card integration again. I personally never had issues with Binance. And I like that the BNB token is stable and pushing new ATHs.

Should have bought more when it was $5!

I'd stay away from CEX coins. Just asking for trouble.

Look at BNB's chart. It's been a solid performer since it was launched around 8 years ago. It has real use cases on the Binance exchanges, and a steady burn cycle.
