Could it be worth it to hold some for this reason alone at the current price?
BNB is amazing coin from Binance, of course you can use it for any purposes you want. We can see from coinmarketcap list, this coin have stable volume and value, some program from Binance also need this coin to hold. I never say no about BNB even we can see Binance manipulate it, that's true. So, this coin have back up and Binance is exhange with good reputation.
