BNB's price broke through a two-year resistance level during the weekend and maintained strength above it, entering an expansion phase.

Analysts attribute the surge to increased BNB Chain network activity and corporate interest in BNB Treasury. BeInCrypto reported two cases including WindTree Therapeutics and Nano Labs, with more companies likely to join this trend.

"BNB Chain network activity is increasing, and Binance remains the top exchange. Companies are purchasing BNB for treasury. This demand will push BNB to over $1,000 by Q4 and up to $1,800-2,000 at the cycle peak." – wrote one analyst.

Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) recently praised the community and ecosystem support for the network.
