The BNB Foundation has announced the completion of its 30th quarterly token burn, removing over 1.6 million BNB from circulation, valued at $1.16 billion. The foundation still aims to reduce the total supply of tokens to 100 million BNB, which means burning an additional 42.47 million tokens.
Token Burn Utilized Auto-Burn and Pioneer Burn Mechanisms
The burn was executed using the Auto-Burn mechanism introduced through BEP-95, which eliminated more than 1.5 million BNB. An additional 110,000 BNB were burned through the Pioneer Burn program.
According to the foundation, these tokens were deemed "irretrievable" by validators on the Beacon Chain and were considered permanently burned. Validators received compensation through the Pioneer Burn Program. Current data shows approximately 142.47 million BNB tokens remain in circulation.
Future Burning Processes to Rely on Auto-Burn
The BNB Foundation plans to continue gradually reducing the token supply using the Auto-Burn mechanism. This system will adjust burn amounts based on the price of BNB and the number of blocks generated on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) during each quarter, ensuring predictability and transparency.
Burns will be conducted via the “black hole” address:
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD
Additionally, the BNB Chain will maintain real-time burning based on gas fees. Since the introduction of BEP-95, nearly 248,000 BNB have been burned using this mechanism.
The Pioneer Burn program will also continue to help users recover tokens lost due to honest mistakes through quarterly burn events.
Binance CEO on Crypto Adoption
Binance CEO Richard Teng stated that cryptocurrency adoption is still in its early stages. He highlighted the misconception that it is "too late" to get involved in crypto, emphasizing the transformative potential the industry still holds.
Teng noted that while early adopters have benefited from their foresight, the opportunities ahead are equally significant.
Using Bitcoin as an example, Teng pointed out that what was once considered impossible—such as a $100,000 price—has now become normalized.
"What was impossible yesterday is expected or even ordinary today," said Teng.
He added that the momentum in the cryptocurrency industry is accelerating in 2024 and will likely gain even more speed in 2025.
