Introduction to BNB

BNB is the cryptocurrency coin that powers the Binance ecosystem. As one of the world's most popular utility tokens, BNB can be bought or sold like any other cryptocurrency and offers a wide range of applications and benefits.

Initially created in July 2017 on the ethereum blockchain as the ERC-20 token, BNB became the native currency of Binance's own blockchain, the Binance Chain.

Users of BNB receive discounts on transaction fees on the Binance Exchange, and BNB can also be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.

BNB originated as an asset sold in Binance's initial coin offering (ICO) and has continued to play a role in Binance's expanding ecosystem.

What can BNB do?

BNB offers various uses beyond the Binance exchange, including:

• Trading on different exchanges
• Payment of transaction fees on the Binance Exchange, with additional discounts
• Use as a form of payment for crypto credit card bills
• Acceptance by merchants as a payment method
• Booking travel arrangements
• Multiple entertainment purposes
• Investment in stocks, ETFs, and other assets
• Collateral for loans and transfers

How to Purchase BNB?

BNB can be bought on crypto exchanges like Binance, Bithumb, KuCoin, and FTX. However, some competitors do not list BNB due to its association with the Binance exchange. Coinbase, Huobi, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, and Kraken, for example, do not offer BNB trading.

Decentralized exchanges (DEX) like PancakeSwap and BakerySwap, running on the Binance Smart Chain, allow for BNB swaps to other BSC-based tokens. Ethereum-based DEXs like Uniswap do not support BNB swaps, as BNB is not compatible with Ethereum's blockchain. However, DEXs like SushiSwap and 1inch have adopted a multi-chain approach, offering BNB swaps on the Binance Smart Chain.
