$BNB

Launched in August 2017, Binance Coin (BNB) was developed by Binance and its acceptance was mainly due to the exchange's proposal: to launch a utility token, something new in the market at the time. 

In its origins, BNB was just a utility token to be used within the Binance platform. In addition, its format was ERC-20, suitable for being executed within the Ethereum network. However, over time, the company decided to create its own blockchain and exchange the ERC-20 tokens for BEP-2 and BEP-20 on the Binance Smart Chain network.
