Top altcoins like ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL have all gained more than 20% over the past week, and 50-100% since the April lows. Also, institutional confidence in altcoins is on the rise as corporates take measures to build the ETH treasury, SOL treasury, and BNB treasury.

Nasdaq-listed Nano Labs, a leading provider of Web 3.0 infrastructure and product solutions, announced on Monday that it is expanding its BNB holdings to 120,000 tokens, valued at approximately $90 million.

Experts Give Higher Targets for BNB Price

According to Bitbull, the recent surge in BNB’s price is strongly supported by robust on-chain metrics. Daily transactions on the Binance Smart Chain have climbed from 4 million to over 14 million, while decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes reached an impressive $190 billion on a monthly basis.

Additionally, the network has seen more than $11 billion in stablecoin inflows, indicating growing investor confidence. Bitbull also noted that the blockchain has maintained a consistently high transaction success rate.

The analyst added that if bulls hold the BNB price above $800, the next immediate target could be $1000.

All Eyes on TOKEN6900 Presale

One of the best crypto presales to currently watch for in the market is the TOKEN6900. This project is positioning itself as a standout in the crowded crypto space by tracking real-world metrics like liquidity, GDP, oil reserves, and corporate earnings, offering a narrative that diverges from traditional token roadmaps.

Rather than promoting conventional utility, the project takes a tongue-in-cheek approach. “If you buy TOKEN6900 expecting utility, congratulations, you’re the utility,” the team states. The presale is being pitched less as a product launch and more as a high-volatility, high-attention spectacle.

Presale Snapshot:

  • Current price: $0.006675
  • Raised so far: $1,021,078.28
  • Hard cap: $5 million
  • End price: $0.007125
  • Ticker: TOKEN6900

The tokenomics reflect the project’s aggressive growth strategy: 40% of funds are dedicated to marketing, 10% to liquidity, 5% to staking rewards, with additional allocations for developer incentives and protocol development. Built for speed and attention, TOKEN6900 is aiming to make noise in both presale participation and post-launch visibility.
