This Altcoin – NOT Dogecoin or Shiba Inu – Jumped 1,344% in 2021

According to Arcane Research’s Summary of 2021 in Crypto report, (BNB) had a stellar year marked with a 1,344% gain. Although they ended the year in black, the returns on their investments of 73% and 4555% was still impressive. All four are currently ranked within the top 4 projects according to market capitalization: Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), USDT and Binance Coin.

It’s important to note that BNB is the native coin of the largest crypto trading exchange by volume in the world, Binance, and of the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). BSC can enable smart contracts that are essential for DeFi services. Also, it offers low-cost transactions. Those low fees have helped siphon market share away from the current smart contract market leader – the Ethereum blockchain.

In fact, more than 95% NFT/DeFi transactions were handled by the Ethereum blockchain in January. However, the Ethereum network still has scalability and congestion issues that won’t be resolved until upgrades to the blockchain are in place with the rollout of ETH 2.0.

The Ethereum blockchain’s current limitations have made it difficult to keep up with increasing network volumes due to record-setting NFT/DeFi transaction growth. As a result, the ETH blockchain allows users to “bid up” the fees to complete a transaction, which have been as high as $100-$200 range to complete a purchase during peak periods.

These costs are anecdotally higher than what the NFT asset is worth or the DeFi transaction. According to the Arcane Report, an average transaction fee for Ethereum was $21 and $3 for Bitcoin fees. Other blockchains such as Binance’s, , Polygon, Energi, and others have fees that are as low as a few pennies.

BNB’s impressive rise last year and its current market capitalization show that it still has plenty of room for growth. It could see further gains up to 3-5x by 2022. However, this isn’t financial advice. You should do your research.
