CEA Industries CEO Highlights BNB as an Overlooked Asset as Prices Surge
David Namdar, CEO of CEA Industries, emphasizes the importance of BNB as it reaches an all-time high, attributing its success to robust fundamentals and growing usage.
CEA Industries CEO Recognizes BNB as a Valuable Asset
David Namdar, CEO of CEA Industries, referred to BNB as “the most overlooked blue-chip” during an interview, praising its recent climb above $1,300. This token’s rise showcases the BNB ecosystem’s growing credibility and utility.
In a detailed discussion, Namdar asserted that BNB reflects years of underestimated fundamentals at last coming to light. He remarked:
“The market is waking up to the credibility, scale, and utility of the BNB ecosystem.”
Namdar noted that BNB’s successes are corroborated by an increased active user base and substantial transaction numbers, contributing to its value in the market. Recent data from DefiLlama indicates that the total value locked (TVL) in the BNB Smart Chain is currently approximately $8.66 billion, making it one of the largest blockchains available.

Internal Dynamics Fuel BNB’s Growth
While Namdar acknowledged positive influences from macroeconomic factors like liquidity replenishment and ETF inflows on BNB’s price surge, he emphasized that the internal strength of the BNB ecosystem is the primary driver. Namdar stated, “An outsized portion to ecosystem strength unique to BNB…” highlighting the growth in volume for PancakeSwap and increased daily active users on opBNB.
Additionally, BNB is benefitting from Binance’s expansion into various sectors, reinforcing investor trust. For instance, Japan’s PayPay recently acquired 40% of Binance’s Japanese operation, integrating it into its network.
With CEA Industries claiming the largest corporate treasury of BNB tokens—a total of 480,000 BNB valued at $663 million—Namdar’s remarks are both timely and indicative of the asset’s potential.
The Rise of BNB Memecoins
As BNB continues to develop, the BNB Chain has also experienced a significant surge in memecoin trading, with Zhao characterizing this as “BNB meme szn.” Recent reports note upwards of 100,000 traders exploring this space, many of whom are seeing considerable returns, with some profits reportedly exceeding $10 million.
