Standard Chartered Predicts BNB Will Hit $2,775 by 2028
Standard Chartered, the UK-based financial powerhouse, has issued a bold projection for Binance Coin (BNB), forecasting a dramatic price surge that could see the cryptocurrency hit $2,775 by 2028–a potential 360% jump from its current valuation near $604.
Head of Digital Asset Research Geoff Kendrick at Binance shared the full schedule of how BNB may grow over the next years. BNB token forecasts say it will reach $1,275 by 2025, then advance to $1,755 in 2026 and $2,225 by 2027 before reaching $2,800 in 2028.
BNB holds the fifth position among global crypto market capitalization tokens at $84.5 billion, with its status as both BNB Chain ecosystem utility token and Binance native digital asset.
BNB Survives Amid DeFi Market Decline
Kendrick sees BNB trending up because it stays aligned with the performance of both Bitcoin and Ethereum since May 2021. The predicted Bitcoin and Ethereum price increases by 2028 can be expected to fuse with BNB, driving its market push.
BNB reacts strongly to market changes that affect both BTC and ETH markets, according to Kendrick. The token shows steady growth that connects to the major drivers of cryptocurrency value.
The path BNChain takes next will display both positive and negative market trends. Kendrick openly recognized the image and structural problems behind the token. Based on his evaluation, he sees BNB as a product that only survived due to last year’s DeFi boom but struggles because people consider it as a centralized Ethereum replacement.
PoSA Model Sparks Debate Over BNB Centralization
According to Kendrick, the BNB Chain’s Proof-of-Staked-Authority (PoSA) system, which rotates 45 validators once every 24 hours, has less decentralization than Ethereum-style blockchains.
Although the BNB Chain remains important for DeFi users through PancakeSwap’s success, there is not enough developer action to boost the platform.
BNB still benefits from the strength of its relationship with Binance and its designed token supply reduction rates. BNB shows considerable market exposure correlations with prime digital assets because analysts trust its reliability as a key indicator of the entire crypto space movement.
Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant names BNB the most resistant crypto asset in market conditions, despite popular belief that BNB follows Bitcoin and Ethereum movements closely.
The upcoming crypto opportunity presents BNB with critical decisions to make. Currently, BNB performs well under expert predictions since many worry about single-entity control and creativity flaws. People are wondering if BNB will become more independent or continue to trail behind Bitcoin and Ethereum in future.
