BNB Is Up Nearly 4% This Week, but Its $100 Billion Market Cap Hasn't Held. What's Going On?

BNB just beat Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana over the past week, yet something stopped the rally cold before it could stick. The answer lies in a specific market-cap milestone BNB crossed and then lost within days.

BNB (CRYPTO: BNB) trades around $715, with a market capitalization near $95.25 billion. The token is down 1% today but remains up nearly 4% over the past week. BNB ranks fourth among cryptocurrencies by market cap, behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether.

Over the same week, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is essentially flat at 0%, XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is up 0.16%, and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) is down 0.39%. So what pulled an exchange token ahead of three networks, and does one week mean anything?

BNB Reclaimed Its $100 Billion Market Cap

BNB reached its all-time high of $1,370 on October 13, 2025, during a liquidation event that hit the broader crypto market. With roughly 133 million tokens in circulation, BNB’s market value was close to $190 billion at the time. At $715 now, the token remains nearly 48% below that record and would need a 91.6% gain to return. The more immediate test has been the $100 billion market-cap level, which BNB crossed earlier this week before falling back to about $95.25 billion.
