BNB Chain is live in the Phantom wallet: on October 1 Phantom and BNB Chain announced the launch, the latest app version is required
BNB ($BNB)
BNB Chain assets can now be used in Phantom without creating a separate wallet, and switching between apps takes less hassle. This has not noticeably moved the $BNB price yet, and it asks nothing of you: just update the app if you want to try it. As with any new network addition, check addresses and tokens before a swap.
