"BNB climbs 1.6% to $872, surpassing XRP to reclaim fourth-largest market cap amid strong ecosystem and institutional interest."

What to know:

  • BNB rose 2.5% to $872, outperforming the broader market which gained 1.4%.
  • The token's action showed higher lows and sustained gains, and increased trading volume.
  • Market participants are watching whether BNB can hold above $870 and challenge resistance at $880, with a break higher potentially targeting $900.

BNB extended gains over the past 24 hours, rising nearly 2.5% to trade at $872 amid a broader cryptocurrency market recovery that saw the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index rise 1.4% in the same period.

The token outperformed most major cryptocurrencies during the session, holding firm above the $850 support level as volatility weighed on the wider market, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

Trading data shows BNB rose above $851 and then climbed steadily through the period, reaching a high of about $876 before consolidating. Daily volume went well above recent averages, suggesting participation from larger traders rather than short-term retail flows.

Price action followed a familiar pattern for major player accumulation. BNB posted higher lows throughout the day and held gains during periods when other tokens pulled back.

Interest in BNB has also been supported by recent announcements from BNB Chain ecosystem participants like PancakeSwap, which earlier unveiled a new onchain prediction market incubated by it called Probable.

For now, market participants are watching whether BNB can hold above $870 and challenge resistance in the $880 range. A sustained break higher could refocus attention on the $900 level, while a drop below $850 would test whether recent gains reflect durable accumulation or short-term positioning.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
