What is the result of the tokens’ burn? 1 684 387,11 BNB (or about $795 million at the time of writing) has been withdrawn from circulation. 6296,305493 BNB were burned as a part of the Pioneer Burn program.
What had happened before? At the end of December, it was revealed that Binance was introducing a mechanism for the automatic coins’ burning, BNB Auto-Burn. It operates independently of the proceeds generated on Binance's centralized exchange through the use of BNB.
The mechanism is expected to provide a greater level of transparency for the Binance Coin and Binance Smart Chain communities.
