BNB, a top-tier major coin, now somewhat resembles a "ballast stone" in the crypto ecosystem. Its price remains stable around $900, with a market cap reaching $124 billion. Its size is evident, making it an industry leader.

The problem is— the larger the market cap, the harder it is to achieve several times or even ten times the growth. Many industry researchers agree that by 2027, BNB's growth rate will likely lag behind smaller projects. The principle is quite simple: to make a trillion-dollar asset grow several times, the required new capital inflow is enormous.

Unless the entire industry experiences a sustained bull market wave, based on current realities, BNB might follow a steady growth route of 1.3 to 1.8 times. It may seem less exciting, but for holders, steady returns also have their appeal.

BNB is the kind of stable, steady asset that no one dares to touch, but don't expect it to skyrocket either. With its size, the imagination space is indeed limited... But on the other hand, stability itself is valuable. It's easier for small coins to multiply tenfold, but for BNB to double, the entire ecosystem needs to come together—now that's real difficulty.

1.3 to 1.8 times? Might as well stash some small coins and gamble for fun. BNB is just a drag, stable but the returns are really... A trillion-dollar market cap can't be moved, who still wants to double it? Waiting until 2027? I might have been liquidated long ago haha. A stabilizer, right? That’s the retirement coin, lying here and winning passively. But on the other hand, in a real bear market, BNB definitely holds its value, and that’s worth something.

According to the market capitalization growth model in the white paper, BNB is currently in a liquidity saturation zone. The estimated 1.3-1.8x actually underestimates the multiplier effect of on-chain ecosystem expansion. From on-chain data, the growth rate of Binance Chain's TVL is decoupled from the price increase of the single token. You need to look at the funding allocation of ecosystem governance proposals, which is the real growth engine. The idea of steady returns sounds like self-deception, but frankly, from a tokenomics perspective, the positioning of a stabilizing asset is inherently contradictory—either as a safe haven or as a growth flywheel. BNB seems to want to have it both ways. It is worth noting that the 2027 forecast model seriously underestimates the on-chain aggregation effect of Layer2 ecosystems. This kind of linear extrapolation is actually quite fragile.

BNB has long been the ceiling; do you still expect it to make you rich? It's better to mine those small coins, although riskier, but at least there's room for imagination. Stable returns sound good, but it's actually just a way of saying "lying flat." I still prefer those crazy surges. A trillion-dollar market cap needs to multiply several times? That's a joke; the scale of funds simply can't hold that. The ballast is just the ballast—safe but boring. Real opportunities have never been here. When the industry truly enters a bull market, BNB can also fly, but waiting for that day is even harder than waiting to get rich. 1.3 to 1.8 times? Instead of that, why not go all-in on small coins and take a gamble.

The ballast is just a ballast, dreaming of tenfold returns by relying on it. BNB is stable, but such returns are indeed a bit dull. A hundred-billion-dollar market cap is like this; no matter how much funds you add, you can't push it. Instead of holding BNB, it's better to gamble on small coins; at least the mindset can stay a bit more excited. 1.3 to 1.8 times? It's better to hold stablecoins and earn interest. Big coins should be safe-haven assets; don't expect them to take you to the sky.
