Why is Binance Coin (BNB) Worth So Much Less Than Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) if It's Better?

Utility, Liquidity, and Total Token Supply should define the price of coins. However, there's one digital asset that has a price not dependent on those traits.

Binance Coin (BNB) is currently valued at significantly less than Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) despite being the native cryptocurrency of the world’s largest centralized crypto exchange and best layer-1 blockchain. This disparity in valuation has left many traders and enthusiasts questioning why BNB is worth so much less than the two leading cryptocurrencies.

Several factors typically influence the price of a cryptocurrency, including its utility, liquidity, and total token supply. However, in the case of BNB, its price does not seem to be fully determined by these traits.

While BNB has risen dramatically in price since its initial coin offering (ICO) at 15 cents per $BNB coin, it has yet to experience the millions of percent growth seen by native coins of lesser ecosystems.

For perspective, Bitcoin (BTC) has a total token supply of 21-million coins and is valued at approximately US$102,000 today. In comparison, Binance Coin is valued at less than 1% of BTC.

Despite having a max supply of 142.8-million, BNB is currently valued at US$668, which is less than 1% of a Bitcoin. While the total supply is slightly under 7x the total of BTC, the market cap of BNB is around US$94.4 Billion.

This market cap is notably impressive, considering it is approximately 1/20th [one twentieth] of Bitcoin. Even if we were to adjust Bitcoin’s price by dividing it first by a twentieth for the difference in market cap and then by another 7th for the total supply, the price of BNB today should be over US$728.

However, it is also important to note that Binance has its own potential store of value cryptocurrency (Bitnance: $BTN) in presale now, a faster & more scalable layer-1 blockchain, and lower transactions fees.

With this in mind, the question remains: why is BNB not valued far higher? Some speculate that Binance Coin (BNB) is a representation of the true value of a cryptocurrency when there’s no market manipulation from wealthy entities like Black Rock, Microstrategy, and other Billionaire Boys Club members.

If this is true, in a market crash it or its new SOV token may be the safest vehicle to have funds versus other networks.

Another possibility is that BNB coin is due for an explosive price growth that could see it go up in value by +300% or more, especially if governments announce that they will utilize the Binance ecosystem for strategic reserves or financial transactions.

With Binance now being alleviated of restrictions by Gary Gensler and the SEC, alongside Changpeng Zhao being a free man, the continual growth of the project seems sure. It is one of the only major cryptocurrencies that has not seen traumatic volatility per price charts and a wise investment by some strategists.

Finally, for those interested in up-and-coming cryptocurrency investment opportunities, keeping an eye on the BEP-20 store of value assets could be worthwhile.

One project in particular is Bitnance (BTN), which has a total supply of 150-million coins and is currently available for purchase at a rate of 0.375 cents per coin during its presale.

As a perspective, an investment of $1000 in BNB at ICO would be worth over $700,000 today. Being early to a store of value asset on the Binance Chain could yield life-changing returns from an investment of $1000.

To date, over 111,000 Bitnance tokens have been purchased by investors. It will launch on crypto exchanges after the presale allocation has been sold.
