BNB Hits $1,000 as Fed Rate Cut Fuels Crypto Rally

The U.S. Federal Reserve’s 25 bps rate cut on Sept. 17 sparked a broad crypto rally, with BNB leading the charge.
Bitcoin nearly touched $118,000, but BNB stole the spotlight after surging past $1,000 for the first time ever, according to Coingecko.The coin jumped from under $950 to $1,004 in hours before easing to $992, giving it a market cap of $138.2B and reclaiming the No. 5 spot from Solana. Reports that Binance may soon shed its DOJ-appointed monitor, part of a $4.3B settlement, added fuel to the momentum.
Former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) reflected on BNB’s milestone, noting its climb from a $0.10 ICO price eight years ago to today’s four-digit valuation: “This is just the beginning. To the next 10,000x together.”
Unlike many altcoins, BNB has stayed resilient since April’s dip to $554, cementing its place among the elite digital assets breaking key psychological barriers.
