Gemini has added trading and custody support for BNB, joining Kraken in offering the token and Coinbase plans to list it in the future.
Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange recognized as the third largest digital asset platform in the United States, announced the addition of trading and custody support for BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain ecosystem. First issued by Binance in 2017, BNB is widely used for transactions, network fees, and various applications built on the BNB chain.
Historically, Binance has offered fee discounts and promotional incentives to BNB holders subject to certain terms and conditions.
With this update, BNB becomes one of the cryptocurrencies that can be both traded and stored on the Gemini platform. Other US-based exchanges such as Kraken already offer BNB support, while Coinbase has included the token in its listing roadmap but is yet to enable active trading.
The token serves as the native currency within the BNB Chain ecosystem, facilitating digital payments, paying network fees, and supporting the operation of applications built on the network.
In a blog post, Gemini highlighted that BNB has historically been used for fee reduction and promotional programs offered by Binance.
The move to expand BNB availability across multiple exchanges signals continued interest in existing altcoins despite the broader challenges facing the altcoin market throughout the year.
At the time of writing, BNB is trading at $841, with a low of $827 and a high of $845, according to CoinMarketCap, reflecting an increase of over 0.74% in 24 hours.
