BNB (BNB) has a scheduled Jenner hard fork on October 28, 2026, for the BNB Smart Chain testnet, with a payment feature reserving 5 percent of block gas capacity for eligible transactions, according to BNB Chain. The BNB price is 749.80 USD as of October 25, 2026, up 2.11 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 15, 2026, according to Investing.com.

Jenner reserves 5 percent for payments

BNB Chain's October 22, 2026, upgrade guide says Jenner is scheduled for testnet activation on October 28, 2026. The change introduces Payment Lane, which reserves 5 percent of each block's gas capacity by default for qualifying payment transactions. Governance can adjust that share up to 10 percent. Gas is the computing fee used to process blockchain transactions, so the feature assigns a defined portion of block capacity to eligible payments rather than leaving all transactions to compete for space.

The same guide describes millisecond timestamps for smart contracts and the technical foundation for CAS20, a proposed compliant asset standard for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. The guide says CAS20 functions require a separate activation by a governance-appointed administrator, so the October 28, 2026, testnet event does not itself activate every CAS20 function.

Quarterly revenue reaches 54.2 million USD

A separate BNB Chain performance report cited by TokenPost said third-quarter network revenue reached 54.2 million USD, up 54 percent from the prior quarter. Transaction fees contributed 49.1 million USD, while maximal extractable value payments contributed 5.1 million USD. The network processed 1.51 billion transactions in the quarter, up 7.5 percent, while daily active addresses declined 14 percent to 2.10 million.

BNB's supply also changed on October 19, 2026. A Binance market update reported that the 37th quarterly Auto-Burn permanently removed 1,646,196.44 BNB tokens, according to Binance. The burn and the network activity figures describe separate supply and usage measures; neither source establishes a direct price effect.
