$BNB #BNB refers to Binance Coin, the native cryptocurrency of the Binance ecosystem.

Burn Mechanism:
Binance performs periodic "coin burns," where a portion of BNB tokens is permanently removed from circulation, reducing the total supply to increase its value.
Wide Use Cases:
Paying for goods and services.
Participating in token sales on Binance Launchpad.
Staking on BSC for yield farming and DeFi activities.
Booking travel, such as flights and hotels.
Total Supply:
