๐ถ What is BNB?
BNB is the native token of the Binance ecosystem.
It started as a token to reduce trading fees, but now powers:
Binance Smart Chain (BNB Chain)
DeFi apps
NFT marketplaces
Gas fees on BNB Chain
Launchpads, airdrops, staking

๐ BNB Supply: How Many Are There?
Metric Value (approx.)
Initial Supply 200,000,000 BNB
Current Circulating ~147,500,000 BNB
Max Supply 200 million (but decreasing)
๐ป Binance uses a quarterly auto-burn to reduce supply.
The goal is to burn 50% of the supply (100M tokens total).
This makes BNB deflationary โ meaning supply shrinks over time.

๐ง My Strategy with BNB (if I hold):
Stake it on-chain or via Launchpool to earn passive rewards
Use it for trading fee discounts
Accumulate more during major FUD dips (e.g., lawsuit or hack news)
Long-term hold due to strong token burn + ecosystem growth$BNB
