BNB Chain’s first quarter showed a broader network mix, with real-world assets, stablecoins, and artificial intelligence (AI)-native applications gaining ground as trading cooled from Q4’s memecoin surge.
Key facts
- Supply rose 65% to $3.19 billion, driven mainly by Circle’s USYC product, which climbed 81% to $2.57 billion
- Average transaction fees fell to about $0.027 from $0.055 in Q4, while median fees averaged $0.0038
- BNB Chain still completed its 34th quarterly burn on Jan. 15, removing about 1.37 million BNB, worth roughly $1.28 billion at execution
- United Stables’ $U grew 167% over the quarter to about $1.09 billion, nearly 200 times its size at launch in mid-December
Summary
BNB Chain’s RWA market grew 60% to $3.6B in Q1, led by Circle, Blackrock, and Ondo. Stablecoin supply hit $13.4B as BSC processed 1.29B transactions and 2.71M daily users. BNB Chain cut block times to 0.45s and eyes growth in AI agents, RWAs, and stablecoins. The expansion came as speculative trading cooled from the prior quarter’s memecoin peak, suggesting BNB Chain is becoming less dependent on a single market cycle.
