BNB Dips 11% From Record High Despite Coinbase Roadmap Inclusion
BNB has fallen 11% from its all-time high of $1,370, reaching an intraday low of $1,151.50 before recovering to around $1,180. Its recent addition to Coinbase’s listing roadmap has so far failed to provide any meaningful lift to its price.
The decline triggered over $630 million in liquidations across more than 210,000 trader accounts, reflecting a broader market risk-off sentiment. During the session, BNB attempted a rebound, rising to a high of $1,194.06, with trading volume hitting $6.19 million, according to CoinDesk Research.
Adoption and Institutional Demand Continue
Despite the pullback, adoption of BNB continues to grow. China Merchants Bank International (CMBI) recently tokenized its USD money market fund on the BNB Chain, issuing CMBMINT and CMBIMINT for accredited investors via DigiFT and OnChain.
Coinbase’s roadmap inclusion coincided with its “Blue Carpet” initiative, designed to streamline onboarding for new tokens. While inclusion doesn’t guarantee a listing, it signals a rare acknowledgment of Binance’s native asset.
Institutional interest is also increasing. China Renaissance, a Hong Kong-listed investment bank, reportedly plans a $600 million BNB-focused treasury, highlighting growing corporate demand.
David Namdar, CEO of publicly traded CEA Industries (BNC), said:
“BNB is a blue-chip digital asset with real adoption, deep liquidity, and tangible utility — not just a narrative. The fundamentals speak for themselves.”
Namdar emphasized that BNB Chain averaged $3.3 billion in daily DEX volume and nearly $10 billion in total value locked across DeFi in Q2, noting that many Western investors still overlook BNB. He described the token as “digital infrastructure equity” with rapidly growing institutional interest outside the U.S.
“There’s no ETF for BNB, yet institutional demand is rising fast. We’re bridging that gap,” Namdar added.
Market Outlook
BNB remains down 0.38% on the day, with traders monitoring whether the $1,150 support level will hold. Macro risks, including rising U.S.–China trade tensions, have pushed investors toward safe-haven assets like gold, which recently topped $4,200, adding pressure to risk assets like BNB.
