BNB Chain overtook Solana in decentralized-finance total value locked, holding $5.94 billion as of September 14, 2026, versus Solana’s $5.89 billion. Ethereum remained first with $49.95 billion, while Base and Tron ranked fourth and fifth with $5.63 billion and $5.47 billion, respectively. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao called overtaking Ethereum a "long road" and urged developers and users to focus on building the BNB Chain ecosystem. Separate CryptoRank data showed BNB Chain added approximately $3.6 billion in real-world asset value in 2026 through September, ahead of Solana’s $2.6 billion and Ethereum’s $1.6 billion. The rankings remain sensitive to incentives, token prices and user sentiment, while analysts have identified $720 to $730 as a potential BNB target if buying pressure persists.
