Possible BNB Shortage Due to Continuous Burns
- Binance continues to burn BNB every quarter (according to its "automatic burn" model).
- By 2025, it is estimated that more than 60 million BNB will have been burned (almost 60% of the initial supply of 200 million).
- If demand remains, this could create an effect of **artificial scarcity**, driving the price up (similar to what happened with ETH after the fee burn on Ethereum).
2. BNB Chain and Competition with Ethereum and Solana
- BNB Chain plans to launch new updates to improve its scalability (such as "BNB Greenfield" for decentralized storage).
- If it manages to attract more DeFi and gaming projects, it could establish itself as the **second most used blockchain after Ethereum.
- A possible catalyst: If Ethereum continues to have high fees, many users might migrate to BSC.
3. Binance and Global Regulation**
- By 2025, it is expected that Binance will have resolved most of its legal issues (such as those from 2023-2024 in the U.S. and Europe).
- If the platform achieves clear regulation, BNB could be seen as a more "secure" asset by institutional investors.
4. Price Predictions for 2025**
- Optimistic: Some analysts (like CoinPriceForecast) project that BNB could reach $800-$1,200 if the crypto market enters a new bull run.
- Conservative: Others (like WalletInvestor) suggest a range of $400-$700, depending on the adoption of BNB Chain.
- Key factors:
- Bitcoin halving (2024) historically drives the market in the following year.
- Increased use of BNB in real applications (not just for trading).
5. BNB in the Metaverse and Web3
- Binance is already investing in Metaverse and Real-World Assets (RWA) projects on BNB Chain.
- By 2025, we could see:
- Play-to-earn video games with BNB as the main currency.
- Tokenization of physical assets (e.g., properties) on the BNB blockchain.
