Less than two weeks after Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) removed “Binance” from social media bio, it has been replaced by “Binance” activities across the BNB chain (BSC) ecosystem, reaching its highest level of monthly active users (MAUs) ever.
Between the launch of new tokens such as STBL and Aster and the whirlwind airdrop campaign at Aster Dex, BSC has boomed as traders poured into the chain, up 9.5% from its previous high of 51.8 million in September 2024.

DEX volumes have also surged similarly, reaching $24 billion between September 15th and September 21st, surpassing $35 billion by the end of this week. If achieved, it will be the biggest week of BSC Dexs in 2025, surpassing the first week of June and trading in the chain for over $26 billion.
The Spot Dex volume over the past two weeks could be attributed to the rise of Aster, which has processed more than $4 billion since CZ was promoted last week.
Dex also strangled the Perp Dex space, turning over the permanent amount of high lipid derivatives at $67 billion over the past seven days, compared to Hyperliquid’s $64 billion. However, it is worth noting that Hyperliquid is still significantly ahead of Aster (OI) with an OI of $12 billion in OI compared to Aster’s $1.3 billion.
