Binance burns BNB every quarter as in the last one it burned 1.74% of the token supply or 3,477,388 tokens which were worth $60.5 million. The quarter before that it burned 3.4 million tokens or 1.69% of the total token supply. Binance Coin has had a strong year as its price crashed in March like other coins as well during the market uncertainty that was caused by the coronavirus pandemic from $25 to $8. BNB did well out this summer as investors poured billions of dollars in decentralized exchanges, synthetic assets, and lending protocols.

A few other projects made their way onto the Binance smart chain which is the company’s blockchain as most were limitations of more popular projects on EH as the blockchain on which most of the activity this summer happened. CZ, Changpeng Zhao said:

“From locking liquidity into Burger or PancakeSwap, to paying for the miniscule gas fees on Binance Smart Chain, all of these helped expand the utility value of BNB.”
