On the 18th of April, 2019, the huge price rally for Binance Coin (BNB) which came in to effect some time in early February after Binance announced its plans for launching the Binance Chain, continued as before.
This announcement by Binance caused a twelve percent (12%) rise in the rates of the BNB token, bringing it to approximately twenty-two dollars ($21.78). This is as close as the token has come to its all-time high value of $24.46 during a period of slightly more than a year.
In accordance with the records presented by CryptoCompare, the value of the Binance Coin (BNB) has risen from $6.48 on the 18th of January, to the current $21.78 (on the 18th of April), exhibiting an increase of more than two hundred percent (236%).
This huge leap for Binance comes as great news for the crypto’s performance, which is the result of multiple measures taken on its part.
On the 18th of January this year, Binance announced that the company’s launchpad would conduct a BitTorrent Token sale which would start on the 28th of January.
On January the 23rd, Binance introduced Crypto over-the-counter services and the Trust Wallet 2.0 was made available on the app store, the very next day.
