"BNB rises 1% to $882 amid growing institutional interest and technical consolidation near key resistance."
What to know:
- BNB token climbed 2.5% to $89e, approaching the $900 resistance level, with increased trading volume suggesting fresh buying interest.
- A new physically backed BNB exchange-traded product launched on Nasdaq Stockholm, adding to existing investment options like Grayscale's pending ETF filing.
- BNB Chain saw significant growth in prediction markets, with platforms like Opinion Labs logging over $700 million in 7-day trading volume and cumulative trading volumes crossing $20 billion.
The native token of the BNB Chain, BNB, extended its recent advance, climbing more than 5% to $893 as it nears the $900 resistance level.
The rally comes amid the debut of a physically backed BNB exchange-traded product (ETP) by crypto asset manager Virtune on Nasdaq Stockholm. The new product offers direct exposure to BNB with Coinbase as custodian and charges a 1.95% annual fee, further adding ways for investors to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency.

The launch adds to a growing list of products tied to BNB, including Grayscale’s recent U.S. filing for a spot ETF, GBNB. That filing comes while there is a still-pending BNB ETF bid by VanEck.
While price action showed hesitation near previous resistance, volume picked up as BNB pushed above the $885 range, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model. The latest price move suggests fresh buying interest, although analysts continue to watch for signs of sustained momentum.
Beyond price, BNB Chain is experiencing a surge in usage across prediction markets. Platforms like Opinion Labs and Probable have reported significant activity, with Opinion Labs logging over $700 million in 7-day trading volume.
That’s according to data from Dune, which shows that cumulative trading volumes on the BNB Chain coming in from prediction markets have now crossed the $20 billion mark.
Probable, which launched in December, has already surpassed $1 billion in cumulative volume alone. Some of these markets are now integrating directly with wallets like Binance Wallet and Trust Wallet, making it easier for users to access them.
“We're expecting a full market consolidation in the next 2-3 years, but at the moment we're seeing this growth on BNB Chain due to differentiation across teams and products,” Nina Rong, Executive Director of Growth at BNB Chain, told CoinDesk in an emailed statement.
Traders are now keeping a close eye on the $900 target while monitoring broader market developments. The broad CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index rose roughly 1% in the last 24 hours, further boosting sentiment.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture
Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia
The post MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MoneyGram has launched a new mobile application in Colombia that uses USD-pegged stablecoins to modernize cross-border remittances. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the app allows customers to receive money instantly into a US dollar balance backed by Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which can be stored, spent, or cashed out through MoneyGram’s global retail network. The rollout is designed to address the volatility of local currencies, particularly the Colombian peso. Built on the Stellar blockchain and supported by wallet infrastructure provider Crossmint, the app marks MoneyGram’s most significant move yet to integrate stablecoins into consumer-facing services. Colombia was selected as the first market due to its heavy reliance on inbound remittances—families in the country receive more than 22 times the amount they send abroad, according to Statista. The announcement said future expansions will target other remittance-heavy markets. MoneyGram, which has nearly 500,000 retail locations globally, has experimented with blockchain rails since partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation in 2021. It has since built cash on and off ramps for stablecoins, developed APIs for crypto integration, and incorporated stablecoins into its internal settlement processes. “This launch is the first step toward a world where every person, everywhere, has access to dollar stablecoins,” CEO Anthony Soohoo stated. The company emphasized compliance, citing decades of regulatory experience, though stablecoin oversight remains fluid. The US Congress passed the GENIUS Act earlier this year, establishing a framework for stablecoin regulation, which MoneyGram has pointed to as providing clearer guardrails.

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise
The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet. As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
