CZ was also trying to add more and more usability for BNB just like binance pay as well.
$1k will be possible to be achieved by BNB
I believe it's going to worth more than that, even before the alts season comes to an end. It will top ETH. Already, many projects on the ETH chain have moved to the Binance Smart Chain. I, for one, don't like dealing on the ETH chain if I can also get the token on the BSC. Fees are understandably accommodating unlike the extortion in gas fee that goes on in ETH, so to say.
BSC will be worth more than ETH in a few month's time even though it's at $408 at the moment while ETH is at $2,078.
