What is the ticker symbol for Binance Coin?

The ticker symbol for Binance Coin is BNB.

Binance Coin was launched in July 2017 as the native token associated with the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. Its original use included paying trading fees on the platform, often at discounted rates. The token was initially issued on Ethereum before moving to Binance’s own blockchain ecosystem.

The symbol BNB is now commonly associated with the broader BNB Chain ecosystem. In 2022, Binance expanded the branding from Binance Coin to “Build and Build,” while Binance Smart Chain became BNB Chain. Despite that naming change, BNB remains the token’s ticker symbol.

A common mix-up is confusing BNB with BTC or ETH, which are the symbols for Bitcoin and Ether. ADA is Cardano’s token symbol. BNB is also not the same as BUSD, a separate Binance-associated stablecoin that was designed to track the value of the U.S. dollar.
