Binance Completes 24th Quarterly BNB Token Burn

According to the official announcement, Binance burned 1.99 million BNB tokens in the 24th quarterly BNB token burn through the BNB Auto-Burn procedure. The latest BNB quarterly burn also includes 747.51 BNB burned through the Pioneer Burn Program

The transaction indicates that Binance burned nearly 2 million BNB tokens worth around $619 million at a price of $310.99. Thus, Binance removed another 2 million BNB tokens from the circulating supply. Currently, the BNB token’s circulating supply is 153,857,203 BNB.

The crypto exchange has burned 48 million BNB tokens in total until now. The exchange uses an Auto-Burn protocol to reduce the total circulating supply to 100,000,000 BNB. The mechanism calculates the amount of BNB to be burned based on the BNB price and the number of blocks generated on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) during the quarter.

According to the BNB burn portal, the estimated value of the next burn is 2,097,345.77 BNB. However, the current data suggest that the number of BNB tokens is likely to increase in the 25th quarterly BNB token burn.

On April 14, Binance burned 2,020,290 BNB tokens worth $512 million in the 23rd quarterly BNB burn. The estimated 24th quarterly BNB token burn at that time was 2,009,639.84 BNB.
