Binance Poll Reveals BNB’s Gains, Losses, and Market Divide

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the former CEO of Binance, shared the results of a poll asking users about their financial outcomes with Binance Coin (BNB). With over 53,000 responses, the poll offered three choices: “Yes, made money,” “No, lost money,” and “Never bought.”

Out of 53,720 votes, 41.8% of respondents said they had “never bought” BNB. This shows that, despite Binance’s prominence in the crypto market, some users haven’t invested in the token yet, possibly due to market conditions or a preference for other digital assets.

On the other hand, 30.9% of respondents reported having “made money” with BNB, suggesting that many investors view the token favorably. However, 27.3% of participants stated they had “lost money” on BNB, highlighting the volatile nature of the crypto market.
