The BNB Chain (BNB) native token is changing hands at its lowest prices in the last 12 months. At the time of publication on August 21, 1 BNB equals $207.47, breaking previous lows of $227.85 on December 17, 2022.
This cryptocurrency‘s most aggressive decline started on June 5, following the announcement of the SEC case versus Binance — the central entity using the BNB token as a native asset, also responsible for the BNB Chain development.
With a direct correlation to the centralized exchange (CEX), news and events related to Binance usually affect BNB’s price. In the lawsuit, among other things, the United States SEC accused the token of being an unregistered security in control (and for the benefit) of the global company, led by Changpeng Zhao (CZ), a self-proclaimed “holder of BNB and BTC”.
