Grayscale is stirring up trouble again. Is BNB about to turn things around? Or are they just teasing us again?

According to on-chain data, although BNB's market cap share hovers around 7-8%, Grayscale's move indeed sends a signal — traditional financial institutions are gradually filling in the gaps in this sector. It is worth noting that the lag in BNB's ETF progress compared to ETH precisely reflects differences in market acceptance.

Grayscale is up to their tricks again. Should BNB be bought at the bottom these days?
