BNB Rebounds, Reclaims $1,000! BNB Chain Proposes 50% Gas Fee Reduction
TradingKey – Proposal aims to lower costs and increase speed for BNB Chain, potentially attracting more developers and providing long-term tailwinds for BNB.
Wednesday, September 24 – While the broader crypto market remained sluggish with major cryptocurrencies trending downwards, Binance Coin (BNB) defied the trend, climbing back above the $1,000 mark. Over the past 24 hours, BNB is up 1.2%, currently trading around $1,016.

The positive movement follows a new proposal from BNB Chain validators to significantly optimize the network. The proposal suggests slashing the minimum gas price by 50%, from 0.1 Gwei to 0.05 Gwei. Concurrently, it aims to reduce the target block time from 750 milliseconds to 450 milliseconds.
This substantial reduction in transaction costs coupled with faster processing speeds is expected to enhance BNB Chain's competitiveness against rivals like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). The move could further boost its Total Value Locked (TVL), positioning it as a significant fundamental positive for BNB.
