There is a big rumor that after CZ will be free from prison, he would be returning to Binance maybe not as CEO but someone behind the scene...acting like a consultant but of course, this is just my speculation. Despite the many things that happened to Binance for the past many years, I am sure that it still got the potential for more exciting developments and more market to conquer in the global crypto market. I am then looking forward to see BNB reach the $1000 level at the right time...even with the competition coming in right now to dislodge its current leadership position.
I don't know exactly what deal CZ had to make with the US justice system to be imprisoned for a “short time”, but CZ will certainly remain in charge of Binance, even if he doesn't have the “official position” of CEO
BNB has surprised me positively in terms of price. The coin was almost tied with SOL for a while, and I thought SOL would be in 4th place in the Marketcap, mainly due to the number of people investing in airdrops and memecoins, but that's not what happened
It seems that Binance's support makes a big difference in keeping the coin at a high value, with the constant supply burns, the incentives they give from time to time to farm some new coins and the stability of the network
I believe that in the near future, if the news about CZ turns out to be good, it could be favorable for BNB
I don't know about reaching 1000 dollars, I believe that will depend on the whole market and on BTC starting a very strong climb towards 100k
