BNB Is Coming to Chainflip: Connecting 1M+ Daily Users to Native Cross-Chain Swaps

How BNB Chain support brings native cross-chain swaps to one of the most active blockchain networks in crypto, connecting hundreds of millions of users to BTC, ETH, SOL, and more.

Chainflip is adding BNB Chain to its native cross-chain swap protocol. Once live, users will be able to swap BNB, USDT, and USDC on BNB Chain directly to and from native BTC, ETH, SOL, and other supported assets. No bridges. No wrapped tokens. No centralized intermediaries.

This is a major expansion for Chainflip and a direct response to where on-chain activity is actually happening.

One of Crypto's Most Active Networks

The BNB Chain isn't a secondary network. It's the largest EVM-compatible blockchain outside of Ethereum by almost every measure, and one of the most active chains in crypto overall.

Over 1 million daily active addresses. Over $5 billion in DeFi TVL (DeFiLlama, February 2026). Sub-cent transaction fees with 3-second block time (BNB Chain, February 2026). A massive retail trading ecosystem spanning DEXs, meme coins, and token launches. Home to PancakeSwap, Venus, and hundreds of active DeFi protocols.

BNB Chain consistently ranks among the top blockchains by daily transaction count, often surpassing Ethereum (DeFiLlama, February 2026). Its combination of low fees and fast finality has made it the default chain for millions of users across Asia, Latin America, and beyond, particularly for retail traders and DeFi newcomers.

All of these users will soon be able to access Chainflip's native cross-chain swap infrastructure, moving between BNB Chain and Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other supported networks without touching a bridge or dealing with wrapped tokens.

How to Swap BNB to BTC, ETH, and SOL Without a Bridge

Adding BNB Chain means Chainflip can serve one of the largest and most active user bases in DeFi. Here's what becomes possible:

Swap native BNB directly to BTC, ETH, SOL, and other assets. Move USDT and USDC between BNB Chain and other networks natively. Access Chainflip's JIT (Just-In-Time) AMM, where market makers compete per swap for optimal pricing and low slippage. Execute cross-chain swaps without connecting a wallet, just paste an address and go.

Every swap settles natively. BNB to BTC gives you real BTC in your Bitcoin wallet, not a wrapped version on some other chain. The same applies in reverse: sending BTC to BNB Chain gives you real BNB or BEP-20 stablecoins.

For users already active on BNB Chain, this removes the need to use centralized exchanges or risky bridges to move between chains. For users on Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, it opens a direct path into the BNB Chain ecosystem.

The Stablecoin Hub That Needed a Better Bridge Alternative

Chainflip already supports the three biggest non-EVM and EVM ecosystems: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Adding BNB Chain fills a critical gap.

A significant portion of on-chain trading activity happens on BNB Chain. Meme coin launches, stablecoin transfers, yield farming, and retail DEX trading all concentrate heavily on this network. These are exactly the types of users who benefit most from frictionless cross-chain access, and who currently rely on bridges or centralized exchanges to move assets between chains.

BNB Chain also serves as a stablecoin hub. USDT and USDC on BNB Chain see billions in monthly transfer volume, and cross-chain stablecoin movement is one of the most common use cases in DeFi. Native cross-chain swaps through Chainflip make this faster, cheaper, and safer than bridging.

The integration also expands Chainflip's reach through existing aggregator and wallet partners. Protocols like LI.FI, Rango, and SwapKit that already route through Chainflip will be able to offer BNB Chain swaps automatically once the chain goes live. That means wallets like Phantom, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, SafePal, and Binance Wallet gain BNB Chain cross-chain routing through Chainflip without any additional integration work.

Why BNB Chain Is the Fastest, Cheapest Chain to Swap From

One of the biggest reasons BNB Chain has attracted such a large user base is cost. Transaction fees on BNB Chain are fractions of a cent, and blocks confirm in around 3 seconds. For cross-chain swaps, this means the source-chain side of any swap involving BNB Chain will be near-instant and essentially free in terms of gas.

Combined with Chainflip's JIT AMM, which ensures competitive pricing through real-time market maker competition, BNB Chain swaps on Chainflip will offer a fast, low-cost cross-chain experience that's hard to match with bridges or centralized alternatives.

This speed and cost advantage matters most for the retail traders and smaller transactions that make up the bulk of BNB Chain activity. These users are the most price-sensitive and the most likely to avoid bridges due to complexity and fees. Chainflip gives them a direct path.

Expanding Native Cross-Chain Access Across Every Major Blockchain

Chainflip was built around a simple idea: every major blockchain should connect to every other one, natively, without the compromises that come with bridges or wrapped tokens.

BNB Chain has long been the obvious missing piece. It sits alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana as one of the four networks where the bulk of on-chain activity actually happens. Leaving it out meant leaving out a huge share of the users Chainflip was designed for.

That changes with this integration. TRON support is also on the way, along with new assets including wBTC, USDT on Solana and Arbitrum. Each addition compounds the value of the others: more chains means more routing paths, deeper liquidity, and more users able to reach the full Chainflip ecosystem from wherever they already are.

For BNB Chain users specifically, this also opens the door to Chainflip's broader product suite, including native BTC lending, which lets users borrow against real Bitcoin rather than a wrapped version of it.

The chains are coming together. BNB Chain is next.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the Chainflip BNB Chain integration?
Chainflip is adding native support for BNB Chain, meaning users will be able to swap BNB, USDT, and USDC on BNB Chain directly to and from BTC, ETH, SOL, and other supported assets. All swaps are native-to-native with no bridges or wrapped tokens involved.

When will BNB Chain go live on Chainflip?
BNB Chain support is currently in development and will be announced once ready. Follow Chainflip on X, Discord, or Telegram for the latest updates.

What assets will be supported on BNB Chain?
At launch, Chainflip will support BNB, USDT (BEP-20), and USDC (BEP-20). Additional BNB Chain assets may be added over time based on demand and liquidity.

Do I need to connect a wallet to swap?
No. Chainflip supports walletless swaps. You can paste a destination address and execute a cross-chain swap without connecting a wallet or creating an account. No KYC, no sign-up, no centralized intermediary.

Will BNB Chain swaps be available in wallets like MetaMask and Trust Wallet?
Yes. Chainflip is integrated into major wallets through aggregator partners like LI.FI, Rango, and SwapKit. Once BNB Chain goes live on Chainflip, these wallets will be able to route BNB Chain swaps through the protocol automatically.

How does Chainflip handle BNB Chain swaps differently from a bridge?
Bridges lock tokens on one chain and mint wrapped versions on another. Chainflip doesn't do this. When you swap BNB to BTC, you receive real BTC on the Bitcoin network, settled through Chainflip's decentralized validator network and JIT AMM. No wrapping, no centralized custodian, no counterparty risk.

What are the fees for swapping on BNB Chain through Chainflip?
BNB Chain transaction fees are sub-cent, so the source-chain gas cost is negligible. Chainflip's swap fees depend on the asset pair and current market maker competition through the JIT AMM, which is designed to deliver optimal pricing and low slippage.

Can I swap BNB Chain assets to Bitcoin?
Yes. Once live, you will be able to swap BNB, USDT, or USDC on BNB Chain directly to native BTC in your Bitcoin wallet. No wrapped Bitcoin, no intermediary chains. Just a direct cross-chain swap.
