The source is a stablecoin contract or recorded native representation, while BNB is classified as native-asset. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

BNB output identity and receiving

BNB is classified as a native asset for this route. BNB uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 18 decimal places. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
