💥Key Differences in Token Burning

CryptoBubble data shows that OKB recorded the highest growth among altcoins in the last month. The token gained nearly 300%, outperforming other well-performing altcoins like LINK, MNT, and AERO.

Unlike routine burns, the burning of OKB positioned itself as a near-redefinition of tokenomics. OKX carried out its largest burn to date, permanently removing 65,256,712 OKB, including previously repurchased and reserved tokens, reducing the fixed supply to 21 million.

This supply adjustment allowed the market to revalue the token's market capitalization. The timing proved critical as it coincided with a positive period in August when analysts had high expectations for an altseason.

After the burn, the supply of OKB is now fixed at 21 million. This figure reflects Bitcoin's maximum supply, creating a psychological link between OKB and the market's benchmark asset. The move acts as a marketing factor, encouraging investors to compare OKB with Bitcoin when valuing it.

Other projects have adopted buyback and burn models, but without a fixed supply limit. For example, TRON has burned 7.1 billion TRX since its launch, including 820 million just in 2025. However, TRX does not have a maximum cap.

Smaller and periodic burns without a limited supply tend to dilute the impact over time. In contrast, the removal of 65.26 million OKB by OKX was decisive, introducing immediate deflationary pressure and causing a sharp price increase.

These structural differences helped OKB triple its value in August.

An assessment of OKB's potential requires looking beyond price movements towards changes in market capitalization.

After the burn, CoinGecko data indicates that OKB's current market capitalization equals its fully diluted valuation, with just over 4 billion dollars.
