Compounded price return for every calendar month on record. Read down a column for seasonality, across a row for the year's rhythm.
BNB trades unlike most alts its size. Backed by exchange cash flows and periodic burns, it tends to fall less in bad months and lag the wildest rallies — a profile the heat grid renders as noticeably fewer saturated cells in either direction than SOL or DOGE. Its 2021 breakout row is the big exception, when BNB repriced from an exchange token to a smart-chain asset in a single quarter.
The steadiness shows up in the medians: BNB's typical month and year sit closer to Bitcoin's profile than to the high-beta alt cohort. The Quarterly tab is a good default lens here — quarter cells capture BNB's slow trends better than individual months, which often round to small numbers.
BNB's price is anchored by exchange utility and scheduled burns, which historically damped both its drawdowns and its manias. The shared color scale makes this directly visible — fewer deep-red and deep-green cells than comparable large caps.
Early 2021, when the Binance Smart Chain boom repriced BNB within weeks — those months are the most saturated cells in its grid. Hover them for exact figures.
