"BNB climbs 1.6% to $872, surpassing XRP to reclaim fourth-largest market cap amid strong ecosystem and institutional interest."
What to know:
- BNB rose 2.5% to $872, outperforming the broader market which gained 1.4%.
- The token's action showed higher lows and sustained gains, and increased trading volume.
- Market participants are watching whether BNB can hold above $870 and challenge resistance at $880, with a break higher potentially targeting $900.
BNB extended gains over the past 24 hours, rising nearly 2.5% to trade at $872 amid a broader cryptocurrency market recovery that saw the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index rise 1.4% in the same period.
The token outperformed most major cryptocurrencies during the session, holding firm above the $850 support level as volatility weighed on the wider market, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

Trading data shows BNB rose above $851 and then climbed steadily through the period, reaching a high of about $876 before consolidating. Daily volume went well above recent averages, suggesting participation from larger traders rather than short-term retail flows.
Price action followed a familiar pattern for major player accumulation. BNB posted higher lows throughout the day and held gains during periods when other tokens pulled back.
Interest in BNB has also been supported by recent announcements from BNB Chain ecosystem participants like PancakeSwap, which earlier unveiled a new onchain prediction market incubated by it called Probable.
For now, market participants are watching whether BNB can hold above $870 and challenge resistance in the $880 range. A sustained break higher could refocus attention on the $900 level, while a drop below $850 would test whether recent gains reflect durable accumulation or short-term positioning.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)?
The post Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dogecoin has been the face of meme coins for a long time. From Elon Musk tweets to a robust community, DOGE has managed to stay alive. But in 2025, things appear slightly different. Will Shiba Inu keep pursuing Dogecoin, or will new contender Little Pepe pass them both by? Dogecoin (DOGE): Still the Benchmark Dogecoin is trading just above $0.2452, up 10.63% over the past week. That steady climb shows why DOGE still matters: it has the liquidity, the listings, and the recognition that few meme tokens can match. Analysts see its price grinding higher into year-end, supported by altcoin momentum and ETF launches in the U.S. But here’s the thing: DOGE is no longer a scrappy underdog. With a market cap already in the tens of billions, turning $100 into $10,000 here is nearly impossible. It’s the Bitcoin of meme coins: reliable, liquid, and still iconic, but its days of 1,000× gains are behind it. Shiba Inu (SHIB): Big Name, Slowing Engine Shiba Inu sits at $0.00001349 with a market cap of $7.6 billion. It’s clawed back momentum with a 3.98% monthly surge, and analysts project a further 9.26% weekly gain to $0.00001418. Token burns and the expansion of Shibarium, its Layer-2 solution, keep the ecosystem alive. That said, SHIB’s size is also its weakness. Even with whales accumulating another 62 billion tokens, growth projections hover in the 400%–500% range, which is impressive but pales in comparison to what early buyers saw in 2021. SHIB is in the odd position of being too big to vanish, but too large to repeat its breakout magic. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The New Challenger SHIB grew on pure hype, but LILPEPE comes with real infrastructure. The project is building an Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 network designed for meme tokens, with near-zero fees, sniper-bot resistance, and…
