Binance's New Bet Behind the Resurgence of BSC

The blockchain world is ever-changing, and there was a chain that carried the complex trends of the times in a simple manner. It may not be the most advanced or elegant, and it has even been seen as a breeding ground for speculation, but it has single-handedly supported the prosperity of an era. This chain is BNB Chain.

Nowadays, as people's focus shifts to public chains like L2, Solana, and Sui, BSC quietly restarts its strategy, and Binance also readjusts its direction, investing heavily in ecological reconstruction. Is this a high-stakes gamble or a rebirth of old roots with new sprouts?

In this "Empire's Counterattack", what we see is not only a technological update, but also a multifaceted clash of beliefs, strategies, and destinies.

Empire's Counter: Behind the BSC Revival, is Binance's Bet Again?

Empire Building: From Binance Chain to Rise of the Grassroots

In April 2019, Binance launched Binance Chain (, but this is a "non-smart chain". Its goal is to support Binance DEX, focusing on transfer speed and stability, and it does not support smart contracts, let alone ecological construction. At that time, this was just a supplement to the Binance system, and no one regarded it as a true competitor to Ethereum.

However, in September 2020, everything took a turn. BSC)Binance Smart Chain( emerged.

This is an EVM-compatible chain characterized by low gas fees, fast block times, and a low deployment threshold. However, what truly makes it the protagonist on the historical stage are two powerful tools: Binance's resource integration capability and the narrative dividend of the era.

BSC adopts the PoSA)Proof of Stake Authority( consensus algorithm, combining DPoS and PoA mechanisms, built on a network of 21 validating nodes, achieving second-level block production, providing high-speed infrastructure for DeFi protocols. Currently, the BNB Smart Chain has 50 validators.

In February 2022, BNB Chain was officially launched, formed by the merger of the BNB Beacon Chain ) original Binance Chain ( and the BNB Smart Chain ) original Binance Smart Chain (. The BNB Beacon Chain focuses on governance ) staking and voting (, while the BNB Smart Chain continues to serve as the infrastructure supporting the construction of a large DApp ecosystem.

opBNB is a Layer 2 scaling solution that enhances the performance of the BNB Smart Chain using the Optimism OP Stack. It offers high throughput, low transaction fees, and extremely high transaction processing efficiency, making it suitable for large-scale Web3 applications. Its scalability surpasses Layer 1 limitations, with TPS exceeding 4000 and an average Gas fee of only 0.001 dollars, significantly improving user experience.

BNB Greenfield is a decentralized storage and blockchain storage solution, aimed at leveraging decentralized technology to harness the power of data ownership and the data economy. Key features include native cross-chain programmability, EVM-compatible storage, high-speed decentralized storage, and seamless migration from Web 2.0.

BNB stands for "Build and Build") construction and building(. In addition to serving as transaction fuel for the BNB chain, BNB is also a governance token. Holding BNB grants the right to express opinions and is a necessary condition for participating in the decentralized on-chain governance of the BNB chain.

In February 2021, Binance announced the launch of the Most Valuable Builder )MVB( program under a $100 million DeFi seed fund, aimed at connecting the DeFi and CeFi fields. The main purpose of the program is to assist high-quality entrepreneurial projects on the Binance Smart Chain in innovation, gaining industry experience and financial support, and accelerating the collaborative development of the community and projects.

The Throne Tilts: From Peak Traffic to Marginal Silence

BSC has achieved remarkable accomplishments:

  • In May 2021, the total locked value in DeFi surpassed 20 billion USD, second only to Ethereum.
  • Daily active addresses exceed 2 million, PancakeSwap trading volume has ranked first in the entire network for several months.
  • Safemoon, BabyDoge and other meme coins drive on-chain community frenzy

However, the rise of Solana and L2 is beginning to divert users:

  • In May 2025, Solana's daily active addresses reached 1.7 million, on par with BSC.
  • The low-threshold Meme issuance model of Pump.fun attracts a large number of creators.
  • More than 60 Ethereum L2s are developing in parallel, dispersing developers, TVL, and users.

BSC is gradually being marginalized:

  • In June 2025, TVL dropped to 5.9 billion USD, only one-third of its peak.
  • Over the past year, TVL shrank by 11% within 30 days, and DApp trading volume decreased by 25%.
  • Lacking a phenomenon-level identity, making it difficult to compete with Solana and Ethereum L2.
  • Regulatory pressure on Binance affects the BSC ecosystem, leading to a loss of developers and funds.

Dynasty Rising: Can BSC Become the Focus of the New Order?

CZ returns to restore confidence:

  • CZ tweeted "gm" for the first time after being released in September 2024, igniting community enthusiasm.
  • CZ frequently interacts with Sister One, driving a surge in Meme coin trading volume.

Meme reignites the wealth effect:

  • $TST has overcome obstacles to directly access the spot market, creating a wealth effect on the BNB Chain.
  • $MUBARAK gained popularity with the investment news of MGX on Binance, and its market value soared.

USD1 stablecoin ignites a new narrative:

  • USD1 launched on ETH and BSC, endorsed by the Trump family.
  • $B is pegged to USD1, becoming the actual main liquidity pool, driving the market capitalization up.

BinanceAlpha segment becomes a new engine of liquidity:

  • Solve the problem of project listing, providing users with early access to projects.
  • The AlphaPoints mechanism incentivizes user interaction and increases BSC trading volume.
  • Lock in community user traffic and weaken the attraction of competing products to retail investors.

Who Holds the Power Under the Bet?

Decentralization has become the fundamental value of blockchain:

  • Web3 wallet integrates cross-chain bridge, TGE Launchpad and other functions
  • AlphaPoints guides users to learn on-chain operations

AI Empowering the Second Growth Curve of BNBChain:

  • AI is listed as one of the three key directions for the future.
  • Multiple AI applications are developing on the BNB Chain, covering areas such as gaming, social, and finance.

Binance four-line layout:

  1. Emotion: $MUBARAK and Meme tool to attract attention
  2. Value: USD1 is deeply bound to the BNB Chain
  3. Incentives: MVB, AlphaPoints, opBNBGas refunds stabilize developers
  4. Entry: Web3 Wallet expands on-chain traffic

BSC is expected to become "the AI-native traffic portal in the era of multi-chain emergence."

The sails are high, where is the way home?

BSC is using USD1 to replenish, AlphaPoints to create waves, and AIHub to layout for the future, attempting to open a "new chapter for the empire". Binance returns to the most familiar track, reigniting a new flame. This gamble tests whether faith still exists, whether the grassroots can rise again, and whether the narrative engine can still operate.

If you remember the moment you first used PancakeSwap, feeling the "convenience, speed, and fireworks" in on-chain trading, you might see a glimmer of hope for the old dream to reignite with the return to BSC. History is loading, waiting for that moment of "confirmation on chain."
