BNB Chain schedules the Pasteur hard fork for August 25, requiring nodes to all upgrade to v1.7.7.

This is a security-focused major upgrade: faster transactions + tighter validator security. It’s part of BSC infrastructure, not some gimmick. The topic of the Pasteur hard fork on Square is already gaining traction—$BNB ’s social buzz has climbed into the top three on BSC, with sentiment leaning positive.

But on-chain prices are very calm: $BNB is currently around 605, basically flat over the past 24 hours, with trading volume of about 49.4 million U. No one has run ahead and front-run it.

My take: high attention, but no price movement suggests the market is waiting for the fork to be deployed and validated. A security upgrade is ecosystem infrastructure—it doesn’t automatically mean a行情 catalyst. Don’t treat the upgrade as a reason to go all-in. Around August 25, I’ll watch whether the node upgrade and on-chain activity change.

Risks: there’s uncertainty around fork execution and node compatibility; sideways movement doesn’t mean volatility can’t suddenly spike; ecosystem events ≠ price signals.

Do you think after Pasteur goes live, on-chain activity on the BSC can rise noticeably?
