Changpeng Zhao encourages banks to embrace BNB
Growing institutional and treasury interest in BNB
Recently, Binance has been making waves as it gains traction within the cryptocurrency sector.
The platform is demonstrating robust growth through new collaborations, increasing institutional engagement, and treasury activities while expanding its reach into both crypto and conventional finance.
BNB Surpasses $130 Billion Market Capitalization
The value of Binance Coin (BNB) has overtaken that of UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland), marking a notable achievement. As of September 2025, BNB’s market cap reached over $130 billion compared to UBS’s approximate valuation of $129.29 billion.
In response to this milestone, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, advocated for greater acceptance of BNB by financial institutions. He stated,“Banks should consider adopting BNB. As a member from a smaller community, I am eager to assist any bank with integration,” reflecting his dedication to fostering the incorporation of BNB into traditional banking frameworks.

The price for BNB has also reached an all-time high at $940.70 after experiencing an increase exceeding 3% within the last day and approximately 9% over the past week. Analyst Ali Martinez notes that BNB appears poised for further bullish movement.
This momentum indicates potential continued price appreciation with targets possibly reaching as high as $1,300.
Breadth in Adoption and Corporate Interest for BNB
A surge in institutional interest is driving the momentum behind BNB’s rise.
A recent collaboration between Binance and Franklin Templeton aims at developing digital asset solutions tailored for diverse investors. This partnership seeks to merge Franklin Templeton’s proficiency in compliant tokenized securities with Binance’s extensive trading platform enhancing investment efficiency while ensuring transparency and accessibility.
Additionally contributing to this upward trend is significant treasury activity surrounding BNB; CEA Industries recently acquired 30,000 units valued at around $26 million thereby increasing its total holdings beyond 400K units.
The Growing Popularity of BNB
CZ’s advocacy for wider adoption reflects other important advancements occurring within this space.
An example includes RAKBAK bank located in UAE which recently incorporated offerings related to buying and selling direct transactions involving Bitcoin through their mobile application interface now including support for customers wishing to trade using their app seamlessly accessing these services directly via their banking platform without third-party intervention or delays!
.Ahead on developments regarding digital currencies—the National Bank Of Kazakhstan announced intentions aimed towards integrating its own digital currency known locally as “digital tenge” directly onto existing infrastructure built upon utilizing Blockchain technology powered by none other than…you guessed it—BNB!
