The Binance Smart Chain (BSC), commonly known as the BNB Chain, is doing better than Solana and Ethereum in a closely-watched metric. This growth is happening as investors focus on Bitcoin Pepe, one of the fastest-growing crypto project.

The Binance Smart Chain is firing on all cylinders, helped by the remarkable growth of PancakeSwap, the biggest app in its ecosystem.

Data shows that the BNB Chain handled over $14 billion in DEX transactions in the last 24 hours. This is a big number and is more than what Solana and Ethereum have handled combined.

Solana processed transactions worth over $2.3 billion in the last 24 hours, while Ethereum processed $2.1 billion.

The same has happened in the last 30 days as the network handled a whopping $214 billion in volume. Solana and Ethereum handled $93 billion and $69 billion, combined, a showing how dominant it has become.

This is a big change of fortune in the crypto industry since Ethereum and Solana have been the biggest players in the industry. 

BNB’s growth may accelerate after the developers launch the Maxwell upgrade later this month. Maxwell aims to reduce the block time to just 75 cents. It is the third upgrade this year, with the last two being Lorentz and Pascal. 

Meanwhile, Bitcoin Pepe, a top crypto project currently in its presale is firing on all cylinders even after delaying its exchange listings. 

The developers noted that the new listing date would be announced mid this month as they work with exchanges. They also offered a bonus to earlier buyers of the coin. 

Data shows that crypto investors have continued to buy BPEP tokens, which may be the top crypto project to watch this year. 

The coin has already raised over $13.7 million, and there are chances that it will cross the $14 million mark this week. This amount is much more than what many high-flying startups raised in their series A raise. 

Bitcoin Pepe’s growth is because of what it wants to achieve: create a layer-2 network on the Bitcoin chain. By so doing, it hopes that investors will embrace Bitcoin as the primary chain for their meme coin launches. 

Bitcoin Pepe’s meme layer-2 network will have instant transactions, ultra-low fees, and be more popular in the next crypto bull market. You can buy Bitcoin Pepe here.
