BNB Chain protocol revenue rose 42% from $2.25 million on July 31 to $3.2 million on September 9, its highest daily level since October 2025. The increase outpaced Bitcoin’s roughly 26% rise from about $62,400 to $78,400 over the same period and left revenue about 19% above the $2.68 million recorded on January 12, even as Bitcoin traded about 14% below its January 12 price of $91,200. The figures indicate that fee-generating activity on BNB Smart Chain has moved independently of Bitcoin’s broader price trend, with decentralized exchanges, token launches, derivatives platforms and lending protocols contributing to the total. BNB traded at $727.01, up 2.57% in 24 hours and 1.10% over seven days, with 24-hour volume of $1,128,174,325, according to CoinGecko. Base network protocol revenue also increased from approximately $347,000 on July 31 to $1.02 million on September 9, a gain of roughly 194%. The data show stronger on-chain fee activity across both networks, although revenue figures alone do not establish whether retail traders or larger holders are driving the activity or indicate its effect on future prices.
