📊 Wait, BNB just passed BNY Mellon in market cap?
Yes — and the chart has one more plot twist.
$BNB briefly reached around $104.95B in market cap, edging past BNY Mellon at roughly $104.41B.
The gap?
Just $540M.
Sounds like Crypto vs. TradFi.
But look at BNB itself. 👀
BNB has climbed from around $680 to ~$790, and is now pressing the $801.77 area on the daily chart.
The next major weekly level?
$825.60.
But here's what makes the headline REALLY interesting.
BNY Mellon isn't simply being "beaten" by a blockchain token.
Through OpenEden, BNY-managed tokenized funds are being deployed on BNB Chain.
And BNB Chain's RWA TVL reportedly surged from roughly $509.7M to ~$5.69B in about a year.
So the plot twist is:
The bank and the blockchain aren't necessarily fighting for the same future.
They're increasingly building on the same rails.
🧠 Quick take
The headline is about market cap.
The deeper story is about TradFi assets moving on-chain.
And the $104B flip? That can reverse quickly.
❓Is RWA adoption a more important milestone for BNB than temporarily passing BNY Mellon?
