Binance’s BNB Chain has made significant strides over the years. The network’s worthwhile capabilities managed to attract a number of DeFi, GameFi, and SocialFi projects on the BNB Chain. Despite being in the midst of the bear market, the network has been able to put on a good show. At the beginning of Q2, around 276.2 million people had interacted with the BNB Chain. However, now the number is up by around 40%, to 385.7 million. In the same period, the number of unique Ethereum addresses has only grown by 7.2%. At press time, it flashed a value of 243.1 million, significantly lower than BNB Chain.
Even though the number of users has risen, transactional activity has taken a hit. The number of transactions surpassed the 5 million threshold a couple of times in 2023. However, in light of their latest downtrend, this metric has been hovering around the brink of 3 million as of late.
On the absolute front, Ethereum has been settling relatively fewer transactions, however, it has not lost ground amid the current turbulent environment. Its number has been relatively stable around the 1 million threshold.
