BNB forecast: record growth and possible correction — what awaits the altcoin
In early October 2025, BNB — the second-largest altcoin by market capitalization — once again reached an absolute peak, hitting $1,332.
Thanks to this new record, BNB's market capitalization surpassed $180 billion for the first time, making the leading exchange altcoin one of the top three cryptocurrencies.
Over the past 90 days alone, BNB's price has risen by more than 96%, a record among the top 20 cryptocurrencies. BNB has become one of the fastest-growing altcoins while most others remain below their historical highs.
Alongside this new ATH, the total value locked (TVL) of the BNB Chain also reached record levels, placing the platform among the top three blockchain ecosystems in decentralized finance (DeFi), surpassing Bitcoin. According to DeFi Llama (October 2025), the BNB Chain ecosystem's TVL exceeded $9.2 billion, accounting for 6.6% of the DeFi market share, and growing more than 24% in just a month.
Will BNB continue to rise: optimistic forecasts
According to renowned analyst Coin22, BNB Chain could become the "new Ethereum," thanks to its strong fundamentals and its position as one of the most promising ecosystems of 2025, partly due to government-level support in Kazakhstan. The expert noted this as an essential signal for attracting institutional investors, which could trigger another BNB price surge.
Other factors maintaining an optimistic BNB forecast include:
- A high likelihood of approval and launch of spot ETFs based on BNB;
- Technological improvements in the ecosystem that boosted BNB Chain's performance and further reduced transaction fees, making it more competitive;
- BNB's deflationary economy, with Binance — the developer — burning hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of tokens each quarter.
According to BIC forecasts, if the bullish trend continues, BNB's price could soon reach between $1300–$1500. Many other analysts share this view, expecting the coin to hit $1500 by the end of 2025. However, CoinCentral notes that BNB must first break key resistance levels at $1350–1380.
Some analysts and community members have presented more ambitious BNB forecasts, suggesting the altcoin could reach $2000. Experts at ICOBench agree, stating that if the rally continues, the following long-term targets would be $1500–2000.
However, much depends on whether BNB can overcome key resistance levels at $1400–1500. Other experts believe that if the current momentum holds, BNB could climb to $1600–1850, and possibly test $2000 under a strong bullish scenario. In a more neutral scenario, BNB's range would stay between $1300 and $1700.
An even more optimistic BNB forecast for 2025 was presented by AI Grok, which predicted the altcoin could rise to $2500, anticipating a new technological breakthrough. According to the AI, the current BNB rally might only be the beginning of a new bull cycle.
Could BNB collapse: bearish forecasts
Not all analysts are convinced of BNB's continued growth. Some warn that a price reversal could happen quickly and urge caution, as long-term holders may not be interested in further purchases. According to experts, most current buyers are market makers or "crypto whales" (large investors).
Another group of analysts doubts the continuation of the bull run, believing that the current local uptrend may be manipulative, driven by Binance's actions. In that case, the crypto market could face a reversal, making the BNB forecast less favorable.
Experts also note that a sharp correction across the crypto market could be imminent, preceded by spikes in open interest (OI) for BNB, which surpassed a record $2.5 billion in October.
According to ICOBench, in less than a month, BNB's price rose by 45%, outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). This suggests that investors may soon start taking profits, putting pressure on the price. Experts identify key support levels between $1140 and $1190. Still, they believe a correction would only be a temporary phase within the broader bull run.
The most pessimistic CoinPedia forecast suggests that if the crypto market corrects and regulations tighten, BNB's price could fall to $900 by the end of 2025.
