“There Were Signs” — CZ Reacts as Binance Market Cap Surpasses Rolls-Royce After ATH Surge

In a silent uptrend, Binance Coin (BNB) has created a major milestone today, creating a new price ATH at $882.59. The token has been on quite a few uptrends this month, but a correction also followed until it peaked today. Notably, the milestone turned even bigger as its market cap surpassed that of Rolls-Royce.

BNB Price Hits New ATH at $882.59

Defying the broad crypto market correction, Binance Coin has surged to new highs today. With a 2.5% surge today, overcoming its week-long correction, the BNB price has hit the $882.59 milestone. Notably, the token has since moved past the ATH, currently trading at $851.57 with $118.6B ($120B on ATH) in market capitalization; the rally is significant.

This happened, as the token showed strong resilience despite the Bitcoin price crash. Additionally, its high adoption and growing investor confidence, coupled with $3.59B in trading volume, fueled its uptrend.

Here, the BNC became the largest BNB corporate holder with $283M buy. Additionally, Windtree Therapeutics also allocated $60M to this token earlier this year. Besides, the number of active users recently hit 16.8 million per Token Terminal, the highest in 2025.

Daily transactions and TVL also grew, exchange holdings decreased, and the recent $1.76M short liquidation supported the uptrend.  Experts also note that the formation of a double bottom pattern around $820 between August 18 and 20 also contributed to the bullish reversal.

BNB Overtakes Rolls-Royce, CZ Claims “There Were Signs”

With the Binane Coin’s market cap hitting $120B on its ATH, it momentarily surpassed Rolls-Royce ($118.84B) in the market. Binance shared the news in an X post, adding that they are rising in the global market rankings. Interestingly, the crypto community had a wide range of reactions, calling it the ‘hidden top performer’ to others asking when they could really buy a Royce with the BNB.

On Binance’s $869 milestone post yesterday, CZ left a very simple text, saying “There were signs.” Being one of the top crypto exchanges, with an expanding ecosystem, experts add that it was expected from the token. Some like Altcoinpedia even force the $920+ target by the month’s end, but there’s uncertainty.

The investors’ cautious approach ahead of the Fed’s interest rate decisions in September is adding volatility to the market. For now, the $882.59 milestone is fueling investors’ optimism, especially as the token momentarily overtakes Rolls-Royce.
