BNB Burns $916M in Tokens—Total Supply Drops to 139M in 31st Quarterly Burn

• BNB has removed over 40.89 million tokens from circulation.
• Each burn strengthens BNB’s role across its expanding blockchain ecosystem.

The BNB Foundation has executed its 31st quarterly token burn, reducing the total BNB supply by over 1.57 million tokens. The burned tokens are valued at approximately $916 million. This move aligns with the Foundation’s goal of reducing BNB’s supply to 100 million. The current circulating supply stands at about 139.31 million BNB.

The latest burn follows the previous quarter’s more significant event, where the BNB Foundation destroyed tokens worth $1.16 billion. Despite the reduced scale at this time, the Foundation continues to uphold its strategy of lowering the token’s circulation supply. The total number of BNB removed from circulation has reached 40.89 million tokens, amounting to an estimated $23.75 billion. All burned tokens are sent to a verifiable “black hole” address (0x000…dEaD), ensuring transparency and compliance with the Foundation’s tokenomics plan.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao addressed community feedback regarding the burn, especially concerns about whether the funds could be used elsewhere. Zhao stated that the burn is a commitment outlined in the BNB whitepaper. He emphasized that the action is not driven by short-term goals such as marketing or growth initiatives but is part of a long-term strategy. “A promise is a promise,” he said, reaffirming the ecosystem’s dedication to its original roadmap.

The token burn mechanism remains a core feature of the BNB ecosystem. Each quarterly reduction lowers the supply and increases the token’s scarcity. This approach reinforces BNB’s role in powering the BNB Chain, opBNB, and BNB Greenfield platforms. With a fixed supply target of 100 million tokens, the Foundation’s burn strategy is central to BNB’s value proposition and long-term utility within the Web3 space.

At the time of writing, BNB is trading at $591.17, marking a slight drop of 0.33% over the last 24 hours. The market response remains stable as the ecosystem evolves around planned tokenomics. The BNB Foundation’s consistent supply cuts reflect its ongoing focus on scarcity, utility, and adherence to the original roadmap outlined during the project’s launch.
