It has grown to a market cap of more than $115M as of March 11. In the last month alone, BUSD market cap has grown more than 400% – from $22M to $115M.

CZ (Changpeng Zhao), Binance CEO, commented, “BUSD’s market cap crossing $100 million is a big milestone for Binance and Paxos, which illustrates the strong need and use of alternative assets in the market. We are looking forward to seeing more utility through the power of stable digital assets and serving our part with BUSD, a NYDFS-approved USD-based stablecoin.”
