- Binance launches a paid messaging platform using BNB for transactions.
- The platform has generated $24,000 within two days.
- Discussion arises on BNB’s utility and community access.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao has launched a paid messaging system via ReachMe.io, garnering $24,000 from platform users over two days, with BNB as the transaction medium.
This initiative elevates BNB’s utility but also ignites discussions on access. Immediate impacts on the BNB Chain’s engagement remain to be evaluated.
Binance’s Paid Messaging Generates Immediate Financial Impact
Zhao Changpeng, known as CZ, announced a paid messaging system on ReachMe.io, charging 1 BNB per message. The platform has reportedly accrued $24,000 with 3,262 users and 1,358 key opinion leaders. This operation may increase the demand for BNB, whose fee per message initially started from 0.1 BNB before settling at 1 BNB.
Shifts in messaging costs present new usage cases for Binance Coin. CZ’s intention to either donate the proceeds or fund projects in the BNB Chain creates a dual focus on philanthropy and ecosystem growth.
“All BNB fees received on my public address will be either donated or used to support projects within the BNB Smart Chain ecosystem.” – Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Founder, Binance
Community reactions highlight concerns about the monetization of influential interactions. Zhao’s remarks on process simplicity indicate a strategic move—using a fee as a gatekeeper—while sidestepping a traditional sign-up method.
BNB Market Dynamics and Community Sentiments
Did you know? Changpeng Zhao’s approach mimics the strategic exclusivity of “Buffett lunch,” but on a decentralized, digital scale.
According to CoinMarketCap data, BNB traded at $607.77, showing a 3.39% decrease in the last 24 hours. Its market cap stood at $86.59 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.49 billion, down by 41.28%.
Coincu research indicates BNB’s price changes might reflect community sentiments and demand from paid interactions. Monitoring long-term effects on BNB’s value and liquidity could uncover the growing role of monetized access—an analysis into how such engagements shape crypto industry trends.
