BNB Chain reached a new all-time high in user activity on Monday, with 3.46 million sender-only active addresses recorded on the network, according to data from Nansen. The milestone came as BNB, the blockchain’s native token, climbed to a new price record following a rapid recovery from last week’s market crash.
The analytics firm reported that BNB Chain’s active address count surpassed its previous peak of 3.44 million set in December 2023. Over the past 30 days, the network processed more than 500 million successful transactions, a 151% increase compared to the previous period. The volume places BNB Chain second only to Solana, which registered about 1.8 billion transactions during the same timeframe.
In terms of yearly activity, BNB Chain ranks third with nearly 200 million active addresses, trailing only Solana and Base. Solana continues to lead the metric, with roughly 1.3 billion active addresses over the past year.

The surge in on-chain activity coincided with BNB’s price rally. CoinMarketCap data showed that BNB hit a record high of $1,370 on Monday after recovering from a sharp decline to $1,094 during the broader market sell-off triggered by new U.S. trade tariffs. Bitcoin dropped to $102,000 on Friday after President Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on Chinese imports in response to Beijing’s restrictions on rare earth exports used in chip manufacturing. The market downturn led to nearly $20 billion in forced liquidations across exchanges.
BNB rebounded faster than most major cryptocurrencies, gaining more than 25% over the weekend. Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao attributed the token’s resilience to the ecosystem’s coordinated response, saying that participants “took hundreds of millions out of their own pockets to protect users.”
Previously, Binance confirmed that it had distributed $283 million in compensation to users affected by the depegging of several Binance Earn products tied to USDE, BNSOL, and WBETH. The exchange also airdropped $45 million worth of BNB tokens to traders impacted by the Friday crash, underscoring efforts to stabilize activity across the platform’s ecosystem.
