(The explanation)
âïžOverviewâïž
âšïžShort for âBuild and Build,â BNB is the native crypto asset of the #Binance ecosystem. Binance essentially began as just a crypto exchange, but it has since branched out in its offerings. It launched Binance Coin in 2017 via an initial coin offering (ICO). In 2022, Binance unveiled a rebranding that included changing the assetâs name from Binance Coin (BNB) to simply BNB, abandoning the name Binance Coin.

âïžBNB Historyâïž
âšïžBinance got its start in 2017, quickly launching an ICO in which it sold and allocated BNB tokens. Back then, Binance Coin (BNBâs name at the time) was an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. However, in 2019, Binance launched a mainnet blockchain, Binance Chain (BC), with BNB as its coin. The exchange conducted a token swap to change ERC-20 BNB tokens over to Binance Chain-based BNB coins. In 2020, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) was launched as a separate compatible blockchain alongside Binance Chain.
âšïžIn 2022, Binance merged the Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain ecosystems under a single label: BNB Chain. Both chains still run parallel and serve distinct roles but are housed under a single name.
âïžBinanceâs regulatory journeyâïž
âšïžIn the years since Binanceâs 2017 inception, regulators across the globe have increased their activity in the crypto industry. Crackdowns have occurred on an array of industry players, including Binance.
