On seventeenth January at 13:19 hours, over 2 million BNB tokens were burned, and the corporate shared the info on this event on its website. After the burn is complete, the present circulating supply of the BNB coin is 157,904,427. Following the deflationary mechanics, the BNB token burn can assist inflate the value and improve the token’s market value. Up to now, BNB has successfully burned over 44 million tokens. 

What’s the Auto Burn System?

The BNB Auto Burn is a quarterly protocol used to burn a determined amount of BNB while offering greater transparency and predictability to the BNB community. When the circulating supply reaches 100 million BNB tokens, the Auto Burn system will stop. The mechanism replaces BNB’s earlier quarterly accelerated burn mechanism, which lasted till the seventeenth Burn round. 

Determining what number of coins shall be taken off circulation relies on on-chain automatic calculations. The system takes BNB’s price on the time of burn into consideration before burning. If the value is low, the burn amount shall be higher to take care of the supply-demand dynamics. 

Through its official announcement, Binance shares that “each objective and verifiable, independent of revenues generated on the Binance CEX through the usage of BNB.”

Will The BNB Price Soar After The Burn?

Working to the principle, when an asset’s supply reduces, its price tends to extend. On the time of burning the tokens, there are fewer number tokens available out there. Following the last burn transactions, BNB’s price increased, which is anticipated to occur this time. 

Nonetheless, one other interesting trend is emerging in the shape of a decrease in trading volume by 2%. This will mean traders lose interest in Binance Coin (BNB) and don’t need to purchase or trade in BNB.
