About BNB burning

Since BNB and Binance went live in 2017, Binance has pledged to remove 100 million BNB from market circulation through quarterly burns, or half of the total BNB supply. Unlike previous quarterly burns, the number of tokens burnt this time is automatically calculated according to the BNB automatic burn formula.

In the past, the burning of BNB reflected the token usage and profits generated by the Binance exchange. With the feedback and support of the community, the BNB automatic burning mechanism effectively replaced the previous profit burning mechanism, which will help promote the process of BNB becoming independent of the Binance centralized ecosystem. Having said that, BNB is still the “fuel” that enables transactions on BSC (Binance Smart Chain).

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder and CEO of Binance, said: “Implementing automatic burn is a natural step in BNB’s development journey, and this mechanism will help the BNB community continue to grow in a more autonomous, transparent and predictable way.”
