On-chain signals suggest BNB faces limited downside in 2026

Beincrypto reports that several on-chain indicators and trading data point to BNB being unlikely to suffer a deep decline in 2026, with the token described as one of the best-performing layer‑1 altcoins over the past year and closely tied to the large user base of the world’s leading crypto exchange.

Data from CryptoQuant show that average spot order sizes for BNB have remained relatively large; “Average spot order sizes remain relatively large, indicating steady participation by utility-driven or larger holders rather than speculative retail flows,” analyst XWIN Research Japan at CryptoQuant said.

The report says this whale liquidity provides downside support during price drops, while Token Terminal data indicate BNB Chain led weekly active addresses in early 2026 with an average of 56.4 million, ahead of NEAR (38.6 million), Solana (37.2 million) and Ethereum (11.2 million), with a steady upward trend since last year.
