BNB, the native token of BNB Chain and Binance’s ecosystem, is set to go live on Kraken exchange on April 22 at 14:00 UTC.
Deposits and withdrawals are now open, while trading will commence shortly thereafter. The listing, confirmed by both Kraken and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, on X, marks a significant milestone for BNB, expanding its accessibility beyond the Binance platform and into the hands of U.S. and global traders using the exchange.
The timing of this listing is particularly notable. With other major platforms still cautious about the token due to its close association with Binance, Kraken’s move could pave the way for wider institutional and retail exposure.
BNB Price Overview
At the time of writing, BNB is trading at $591.08, up 1.2% on the day and nearly 3% over the past week. While short-term price action remains somewhat constrained below major moving averages, the broader structure is beginning to lean bullish.
On the 1-day chart, BNB is hovering between key support at $554 and overhead resistance around $617 and $633, defined by the 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages, respectively.
RSI sits near neutral at 49.79, suggesting momentum has room to build. The stochastic oscillator displays a more encouraging signal, rising above 88.5 and indicating increased buying pressure. MACD also shows the histogram flipping into positive territory, with the MACD line crossing the signal line.
If bulls manage to push the price above the $617 resistance level, a retest of $633 and potentially even $660 becomes feasible. However, failure to hold the $580 zone could see BNB revisit support near $554 or even lower toward $520.
BNB remains in a consolidation range, but the upcoming listing could serve as a catalyst for further growth. Kraken’s post-only mode suggests demand is already building ahead of the official launch. The market has historically reacted positively to major listings, and with the token’s relatively tight circulating supply, any surge in spot buying could drive a sharp move upward.
That said, the overall market environment remains cautious. Traders are still navigating macro uncertainty and regulatory headwinds, particularly in the U.S. The token’s historical price correlation with Binance sentiment also remains a risk factor.
With technical indicators stabilizing and momentum indicators flashing early bullish signs, the April 22 launch could be a defining moment for BNB in Q2.
