Meanwhile, Binance CEO Chaopeng Zhao popularly known as CZ, has announced that the company has burned 2,061,888 BNB worth about $36.7 million. This is the ninth BNB burn and represents about 1.1% of the total BNB supply.
According to U Today, coin burning can be described as the permanent removal of coins from circulation, thereby reducing the amount of coins in circulation. Binance burns BNB coins on the basis of the volume of trades made within its exchange over the last 3 months. Therefore, in every quarter, the crypto exchange giant burns some BNB coins.
According to CZ, the high amount of BNB burn shows significant growth and he credits it to the launching of fresh services like margin trading and futures trading.
Binance plans to keep on burning BNB within its possession until there are only 100 million left.
