BNB Chain New Incentives Drive DeFi TVL and NFT Activity as Multichain Plans Unfold
BNB Chain's Q3 2024 performance highlighted a mix of growth and challenges as it sought to bolster its position within the decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) markets. Key initiatives, including the Gas-Free Carnival for stablecoin transfers, the Gas Grants Program, and an ongoing TVL Incentive Program, were rolled out to attract user engagement and foster network activity.
The chain's multichain strategy also expanded with upgrades to the BNB Chain Bridge, enhancing cross-chain transfers and ecosystem liquidity. According to a Messari report, the BNB Chain’s Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi grew to $4.85 billion. Noteworthy progress was seen from Venus Finance and Avalon Finance, with Avalon experiencing a 300% increase in TVL after joining the BNB Incubation Alliance. This helped cement BNB’s place as a top-four DeFi network despite competition and a slight decline in overall network activity.
NFT activity also rebounded, with daily transaction volumes increasing by 283%, though driven mainly by a few high-volume traders. Market cap challenges persisted, with a 4% decline bringing the value to $82.79 billion amid broader market pressures. Revenue saw a significant 28% decline compared to the previous quarter; however, stablecoin transactions between wallets rose 53%, indicating growing demand for stable and cost-efficient transfers.
BNB Chain’s focus on token burning, evidenced by the burn of 1.6 million BNB in July valued at approximately $971 million, remains a key deflationary strategy aimed at increasing token scarcity. Despite facing market competition and bearish trends, BNB Chain’s commitment to interoperability, technological advancement, and innovative incentives underlines its resilience and relevance within the blockchain sector.
