BNB (BNB) is set for a Chapel testnet upgrade on October 28, 2026, under the proposed CAS20 standard.

CAS20 sets an October 28 milestone

CAS20 is described as a proposed standard for creating tokens on BNB Chain. The scheduled Chapel testnet upgrade gives developers a dated testing milestone on October 28, 2026, according to TokenPost. A testnet is a separate blockchain environment used to evaluate network changes before broader deployment. The report identifies stablecoin and tokenized-asset issuers as the users targeted by the proposed compliance controls.

Stablecoin activity reached 22.7 million addresses

A report from Mercuryo and BNB Chain released on October 19, 2026, found that monthly active addresses rose from 20.5 million in July to 22.7 million in September. Transfers below 100 USD accounted for 77.4 percent of activity, while transactions of at least 10,000 USD carried 66.2 percent of the value, CryptoNews reported. The report also put the median network charge for a stablecoin transfer at 0.0068 USD. These figures separate transaction frequency from transferred value across the same third-quarter period.
