2021 has been an impressive year for Binance Coin (BNB), which has rallied by more than 900%, making the token's $64 billion market cap larger than Santander, the Bank of Montreal and UBS. One of the primary reason for BNB's growth was continued congestion on the Ethereum network. Some analysts also pointed to Coinbase's upcoming direct listing ($100-billion valuation) as a catalyst for the BNB price hike.
