BNB Chain leads stablecoin market with 15 million active users, Binance Research says

BNB Chain has maintained its dominant position in the stablecoin sector, recording approximately 15 million active stablecoin addresses per month. Data compiled by Binance Research and Dune indicate that this network consistently outpaces all other blockchains in terms of active stablecoin users.

BNB Chain’s expanding user base

The percentage of active stablecoin users on BNB Chain was significantly lower in 2021. Since then, the network has experienced robust growth in its user base, reinforcing its standing as the primary blockchain for stablecoin transactions. Competing networks, including Ethereum and Solana, have also seen their user numbers climb, but none currently match the address activity registered on BNB Chain.

Stablecoins are widely used on blockchain platforms for trading, payments, transfers, and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, serving as a critical foundation for on-chain activity. Analysts generally interpret a growing stablecoin user base as a sign of higher liquidity and stronger ecosystem participation. However, user activity tells only part of the story.

Address activity vs. capital flows

High address activity does not always translate into greater capital concentration. While BNB Chain leads in active users, it does not hold the largest stablecoin market capitalization or transaction value, nor does it attract the same level of institutional adoption observed on other networks.

The chain’s accessibility and low transaction costs have encouraged many users to conduct smaller-value transfers. In contrast, blockchains like Ethereum attract fewer active addresses but record substantially higher capital flows and more institutional-grade transactions.

From a market perspective, this distinction is significant. Although strong address activity points to heightened retail involvement and network utility, it should not be assumed that every user contributes equally to total economic value.

BNB price action under pressure

Recent movements in the price of BNB reflect this complex situation. Data show that BNB, the native cryptocurrency of BNB Chain, is currently trading near $573 after a prolonged period of declining highs and lows. The price remains below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, signaling that the broader downward trend is still in effect.

Although the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has rebounded toward the neutral 50 mark—suggesting that selling pressure is easing—buyers have not yet provided sufficient momentum for a meaningful breakout. Immediate resistance for BNB hovers at the 50-day EMA, close to $579, with stronger barriers marked by the 100-day and 200-day averages.

Despite these technical headwinds, BNB Chain’s network continues to demonstrate leadership in user activity within the stablecoin market.

Mini dictionary: BNB Chain is a decentralized, public blockchain platform developed by Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. The network supports high-throughput applications and is widely used for trading, DeFi, and digital asset transfers, with a focus on low fees and scalability.

While BNB Chain maintains its lead in user activity, transaction values and institutional involvement often favor other networks like Ethereum. This nuanced dynamic influences both ecosystem participation and cryptocurrency price behavior.
