Binance-launched BNB coin price emerged on of the mega-cap crypto top gainers on May 21, as news of imminent Ethereum ETFs approval picks up steam.

BNB’s remarkable 105% year-to-date price comes at a period that Binance exchange has been under intense regulatory scrutiny.
Notably, BNB price had crashed 11% on November 26, 2023, when it was announced that US SEC fined Binance $4.6 billion in a settlement that saw Founder/CEO Changpeng Zhao step down.
The negative sentiment grew in 2024 when Nigeria arrested two Binance employees on currency manipulation charges.
