BNB Price Surges to $610 Ahead of BNB Chain Pasteur Hard Fork
Binance Coin (BNB) price surged to $610.54 on Saturday, narrowly outperforming Bitcoin's modest 0.15% gain.
The increase is largely driven by steady ecosystem utility and a small market beta play, as the broader market remains relatively flat.
The upcoming BNB Chain Pasteur hard fork on August 25 is expected to introduce three key changes: strengthening cross-chain transfers, tightening validator controls, and increasing tested transaction capacity from 1,237 to 2,324 transactions per second.
