Binance Coin price could surge soon as BNB treasury companies accumulate

Highlights

  • Binance Coin is up today despite the DOJ investigating whether Binance is complying with its 2023 settlement deal.
  • The deal required Binance to tighten its anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance.
  • The BNB ETF is on track to having its best month since launch as month-to-date inflows reach $98.89 million.

Binance Coin (BNB) price is in focus after reports that the US Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating whether Binance complied with a 2023 settlement deal. At press time, BNB traded at $748 with $1.12 billion in 24-hour trading volume.

DoJ Investigates Binance Compliance Agreement

A report by Bloomberg noted that the US Department of Justice (DOJ is looking into whether Binance violated its settlement agreement with the US government.

The agreement included Binance paying a $4.3 billion fine to the US government. The exchange pleaded guilty to violating banking guidelines and also agreed to increase compliance controls.

“There is an ongoing investigation there that we are involved with… we’re not going to get into specifics about exactly what the status of the facts are, how it’s developing,” said the head of the DOJ’s criminal division, Tysen Duva.

The DOJ probe comes shortly after we reported that Binance is under fresh scrutiny for violating Iran sanctions by allowing certain trading on the exchange. However, Binance CEO Richard Teng criticised the accusations, saying the exchange has zero tolerance for sanctions violations.

Analysts Weigh in on BNB Price as ETF Inflows Spike

Analyst Crypto Patel on X notes that BNB price currently trades above its accumulation zone between $350 and $525. He notes that the bullish leg after this breakout could push BNB price to $2,000.

However, other analysts note Binance Coin price is headed for a downtrend. Analyst Jesse Olson notes that the altcoin has created a sell signal on the daily chart that could trigger a drop to the $600 zone.

Another analyst dubbed Cryptorphic on X also notes that the short-term future BNB outlook is under pressure. If the price fails to reclaim the $746 zone, the analyst warns of a steeper drop to $674.

The mixed outlook comes as BNB ETFs record $98.89 million in inflows month-to-date. This marks the best-performing month for the ETFs since launching in May 2026.

The rising inflows come after VanEck updated its spot BNB ETF to include staking, as earlier reported by CoinGape.

BNB Price Prediction: Key Levels to Watch

The one-day chart shows that BNB price has dropped below the lower trendline of an ascending parallel channel. This drop suggests that the bullish momentum is becoming weak, and BNB price may record a trend reversal to the downside.

BNB now faces crucial support at the 61.8% Fib of $730. Breaking below this support could push Binance Coin to $681.

The AO bars also support a bearish price outlook. The RSI reading at 47 also shows that bears have a slight upper hand.

BNB will confirm a resumption of the uptrend if it closes above the resistance at the midline of the ascending channel, with such a move set to pave the way for a move to $809.
