BNB Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain launched by Binance, built for high-throughput, low-cost transactions. It's one of the largest blockchain networks by stablecoin activity, and a common settlement layer for platforms already active in DeFi and CEX-adjacent flows.
BNB Chain's stablecoin supply sits around $13.6 billion, with USDT accounting for roughly 67% of it. Since a January 2026 network upgrade, block time on BSC dropped to 0.45 seconds with finality landing around 1.125 seconds, and average gas fees run near $0.01–0.02.
BNB Chain's speed and cost advantage, in numbers
- Finality: ~1.125 seconds, following the January 2026 Fermi upgrade that cut block time from 0.75 to 0.45 seconds
- Transaction fees: Averaging $0.01–0.02, after gas prices dropped 20x in the same upgrade
- Stablecoin supply: ~$13.6 billion, with USDT making up around 67%
- Reliability: Ran through 2025 without network downtime, per BNB Chain's own year-end review
How BNB Chain fits into Due's routing network
BNB Chain becomes Due's 12th supported network:
- On-ramps: Fiat from Due's 80+ country rails converts into USDT on BNB Chain
- Off-ramps: USDT on BNB Chain converts and pays out to bank accounts in local currencies
- Flexible routing: Platforms choose BNB Chain per payment alongside Due's other supported networks
Platforms already settling stablecoins through Due can use BNB Chain immediately, no new integration required.
What this means for Due customers
- Access to BNB Chain-native counterparties and exchanges
- Faster, lower-cost settlement for high-frequency stablecoin flows
- One more option in stablecoin liquidity routing, not a replacement for existing networks
Not available for EU clients. Tether hasn't sought MiCA's e-money token authorization, so regulated entities, including Due, can't offer USDT to EU users under current rules.
