In one of its largest-ever token burn events, Binance has burned over 2 million BNB valued at approximately $674 million as part of its quarterly burn process.
The burn is part of Binance’s commitment to maintain the value of BNB tokens. Token burns help maintain the value of the remaining tokens in circulation.
Binance burns BNB tokens every quarter to reduce the total supply and aims to eventually burn 100 million BNB, which is half of its total supply.
