BNB Sees Upside as Traders React to Easing Compliance Uncertainty and Volume Spike

BNB Climbs on Binance’s Legal Wins and DeFi Revival

BNB rose over 3.5% on Thursday, bucking broader crypto market weakness as traders responded to growing regulatory clarity surrounding Binance and a marked uptick in BNB Chain activity.

The token touched a high of $675.20 before easing to $670.10 in late trading. The move follows positive headlines for Binance, which secured preliminary approvals in several jurisdictions, helping to ease long-standing legal overhangs.

“Markets are starting to price in resolution rather than risk,” said Mateo Alvarez, digital assets strategist at Riverstone Capital. “BNB is benefiting from a perception shift — from legal uncertainty to operational momentum.”

Meanwhile, decentralized trading on BNB Chain spiked 28% week-over-week, with renewed interest in token swaps and staking driving fees and user participation higher.

Analysts say BNB could see further upside if macro sentiment improves and Binance maintains its legal and compliance momentum into Q3.
