BNB has climbed above $1,000 for the first time ever, hitting a fresh all-time high. It’s a standout move in a market where Bitcoin and Ethereum are mostly moving sideways and many other altcoins are seeing only small gains. The breakout underlines how strong BNB’s position has become compared to the rest of the crypto market.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared his thoughts on X, reflecting on BNB’s journey from its $0.10 initial coin offering eight years ago to today’s four-figure price. “Watching #BNB go from $0.10 ICO price 8 years ago to today’s $1000 is something words cannot explain,” he wrote.

I, not representing any entity or title, as just a community member and a #BNB holder, thank everyone in the #BNB and crypto ecosystem, for your support.
We had our challenges…
CZ stressed that he was speaking as a community member and BNB holder, not as a representative of any company or title. He thanked everyone in the BNB and wider crypto ecosystem for their support, saying that the achievement came through years of building and holding during challenges. “It’s truly a community effort,” he added, closing with a hopeful note: “This is just the beginning. To the next 10000x together!”
The post highlights two key points about BNB’s rise. First, the token’s steady expansion – from powering trading fee discounts to serving as gas for Binance Smart Chain (now BNB Chain) – has given it long-term utility that many projects lack. Second, the strength of its community and ecosystem has helped BNB weather market downturns and regulatory pressure better than many rivals.

While the idea of “the next 10000x” is aspirational, it is clear that BNB’s track record of continuous building, from DeFi applications to its role in Binance’s exchange infrastructure, has underpinned its price growth. CZ’s words underline a long-term view rather than a short-term price call: BNB’s success, he suggests, comes from patient development and community commitment.
For investors and traders, the move to $1,000 is another sign that market leadership can shift even when the wider crypto space is quiet. Whether BNB keeps its momentum will depend on broader market conditions and ongoing adoption of the BNB Chain, but its latest milestone shows the value of sustained building and strong user support.
