Binance Coin Passes NEO and Ethereum Classic As New Details on Binance Chain Emerge

Binance Coin (BNB) has now passed both NEO and Ethereum Classic (ETC) in market cap and stands as the 14th largest cryptocurrency, according to CMC.

The rise in the rankings comes after a new announcement from Binance founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao, who recently revealed that BNB will be used to pay for fees on Binance Chain, the company’s decentralized exchange.

Zhao says the launch of Binance Chain is now on the horizon.

Just had a productive meeting for #Binance #DEX (decentralized exchange), where $BNB will be native gas, and the exchange don't control user funds. Aiming for a public beta end of the year/early next year. Yes, we work on Saturdays, non stop!

Meanwhile, Zhao continues to relentlessly and lightheartedly shill companies that build on the BNB platform. He’s offering a retweet to anyone who announces a project that utilizes the company’s cryptocurrency.

Thanks to @RequestNetwork for incorporating $BNB into their eco-system. You add $BNB into yours, we retweet! https://t.co/DQBMghVEH2
