In a new report published on May 6, 2025, Standard Chartered Bank predicted that Binance's local token, BNB, could rise to $ 2,775 by the end of 2028. This forecast marks an increase of about 360% from the price level in the current $ 600 band.
Background of the Forecast: Correlation with Bitcoin and Ethereum
Geoff Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, points out that BNB's performance is moving in parallel to an equally weighted basket of Bitcoin and Ethereum. If this correlation continues, it is stated that the BNB price could reach $ 2,775 by 2028. Kendrick especially emphasizes that Binance's central position in the crypto ecosystem is decisive in this price projection.
BNB Chain and Ecosystem Impact
BNB Chain is actively used in areas such as decentralized finance (DeFi), lending protocols and liquid staking. This structure distinguishes it from competitors such as Ethereum and Avalanche. Standard Chartered points out that BNB Chain offers a "traditional" smart contract infrastructure and this infrastructure contributes to the long-term value of BNB.
In addition, the report states that BNB has a "rich" market value in proportion to the economic activities on the chain thanks to its deflationary token structure and direct connection with Binance.
Standard Chartered's BNB forecast offers market participants both an optimistic view and indicates that the price increase depends on Binance's performance. The report reveals that BNB is not as "independent" as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but it still has significant potential.
Over the years, the general direction of the crypto market and Binance's compliance with regulations will play an important role in determining the future of BNB prices.
