BNB the native token of Binance’s smart contract platform is poised for major gains according to a new report from Standard Chartered. The bank projects that BNB could climb to $2775 by the end of 2028 offering steady long-term returns for investors.

Geoff Kendrick head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered noted that BNB has closely mirrored the performance of both bitcoin and ether since mid 2021. He expects this trend to continue supporting the token’s rise from its current price near $600 over the next few years.

As long as Binance remains a dominant centralized exchange Kendrick believes BNB will remain a strong performer in the crypto space. The BNB Chain is heavily used for decentralized exchanges lending platforms and liquid staking making it a focused and reliable smart contract ecosystem compared to competitors like Ethereum and Avalanche. This positions BNB as a potential benchmark for digital assets in the evolving crypto market.

XRP demonstrated notable resilience amid volatile crypto markets in Q1 2025, experiencing a substantial rise in transaction costs to $0.00918 per transaction—an impressive 91.10% increase. This surge coincided with an 89.41% growth in XRP’s average closing price, reaching $2.70. Institutional interest surged as Franklin Templeton applied for a spot ETF, and CME introduced XRP futures, further endorsing XRP’s position in institutional markets.

Ripple achieved a significant legal milestone when the SEC withdrew its appeal, considerably reducing regulatory penalties and signaling a more favorable U.S. regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies.

Ripple also strategically acquired Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, underscoring institutional adoption of XRP Ledger technology.

Despite a quarterly decline in on-chain transactions (down 37.06%) and new wallet creation (down 40.28%), trustlines increased by 7.10%, indicating sustained confidence in XRP’s ecosystem. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced an evolved approach to reporting, shifting to transparent, real-time updates starting Q2 2025, ensuring stakeholders remain consistently informed.
