BC Token Hits $0.02, Setting a New All-Time High

Published

on

By

$BC has risen nearly 70% since April as BC Engine continues to expand the token‘s utility across the BC.GAME ecosystem

BELIZE CITY, Belize, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BC Token ($BC), the ecosystem token of BC.GAME, reached $0.02 on July 23, setting a new all-time high and extending its recent upward price movement.

According to CoinGecko, $BC reached the $0.02 milestone after moving steadily into a higher price range over the past several weeks. The token previously recorded a high of around $0.01561 on July 17 before continuing its upward movement.

Compared with its price of approximately $0.01181 on April 12, $BC has increased by nearly 70%. The latest milestone is also part of a series of new price records reached by the token since the launch of BC Engine in April.

Alongside the price growth, BC.GAME has continued to expand the practical use of $BC across its platform ecosystem.

Through BC Engine, users can allocate eligible $BC to the platform’s reward system and receive BCD rewards distributed on an hourly basis. Users can also view their allocated tokens, accumulated rewards and participation data directly through the BC Engine interface.

The system is designed to connect $BC participation with activity generated by products and partners across the wider BC.GAME ecosystem.

BC Originals, Croco Gaming and sports betting technology provider BETBY have already been integrated as Engine Nodes. Contributions from participating products and partners help support the BC Engine reward pool, creating a direct connection between platform activity, user participation and token utility.

“Reaching $0.02 is an important milestone for $BC, but price is only one part of the ecosystem’s continued development,” a BC.GAME spokesperson said. “Our focus remains on expanding the token‘s practical uses and connecting it more closely with products, rewards and user participation across the platform.”

The $BC ecosystem also includes separate buyback and token-burning mechanisms.

A portion of the tokens acquired through BC.GAME’s ongoing buyback activity may be redistributed to eligible active users through features such as Instant Bonus. The buyback programme operates separately from the token-burning mechanism.

Token burning is primarily connected to the BC Engine unlocking process. When users unlock $BC less than seven days after allocating it to BC Engine, 1% of the unlocked amount is permanently burned. Users who wait at least seven days can unlock the full amount without triggering a burn.

BC.GAME plans to introduce additional products and Engine Nodes while continuing to improve the visibility of reward distributions, token burns and other related on-chain activity.

The platform will also explore further uses for $BC across original games, sports betting and digital-asset reward experiences as the ecosystem continues to develop.

More information about BC Engine and the $BC ecosystem is available at bc.game/bc.

BinBase Enhances 2026 USA BIN Intelligence for Durbin Compliance, Debit Network Routing, and Level 2/3 Interchange Savings

Published

on

By

BinBase updates its US payment dataset with advanced Durbin Regulation flags, ATM/Debit network routing indicators, and Level 2/3 commercial card markers to help merchants significantly reduce processing fees.

MIAMI, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BinBase, a leading provider of card issuing and payment analytics data, has announced major US-focused updates to its 2026 BIN Database. Designed specifically for payment facilitators (PayFacs), US acquiring banks, and enterprise e-commerce merchants, the updated dataset targets one of the largest operational costs in payment processing: transaction interchange fees.

In the competitive US payment ecosystem, a fraction of a percent in interchange savings translates to millions of dollars for merchants. BinBase provides the exact data needed for dynamic cost-optimizing routing.

Processing credit and debit cards in the United States requires navigating complex regulatory framework and network rules. A critical element is the Durbin Amendment, which caps interchange fees on debit cards issued by regulated US banks (institutions with $10 billion or more in assets). Without precise, updated BIN-level data, payment gateways frequently misidentify unregulated cards, leading to suboptimal routing and higher processing fees.

The updated BinBase dataset addresses this challenge by providing dedicated attributes for US processing optimization:

Durbin Regulation Identification: Instant Y/N status markers allowing payment gateways to dynamically detect US regulated debit cards and apply appropriate cost structures.US Debit & ATM Network Routing: Granular routing indicators for major US PIN-debit and PINless networks, including STAR, NYCE, Pulse, and Accel, empowering payment routing engines to choose the most cost-effective path.Commercial Data Eligibility (Level 2 / Level 3): Precise identification of corporate, business, and purchasing cards eligible for Level 2/3 line-item processing, helping B2B merchants lower interchange rates on corporate transactions.Personal vs. Commercial Usage Classification: Clear distinction between consumer and corporate card ranges to prevent fee misclassification at checkout.

“In the competitive US payment ecosystem, a fraction of a percent in interchange savings translates to millions of dollars annually for high-volume merchants,” said a spokesperson for Damiko Inc. “By combining Durbin status with US debit network data and extended 8-to-11-digit precision, BinBase provides payment engineers with the exact surgical data needed to build smart, cost-optimizing routing engines.”

To evaluate the US-specific data attributes and test integration compatibility, developers can inspect the schema and download the free 2026 sample dataset on GitHub.
