BNB Foundation Completes 29th Quarterly Burn of 1.77 Million Tokens

2 min

On November 1, the BNB Foundation announced the completion of the 29th quarterly burn by the BNB Chain. This event underscores the project's deflationary strategy aimed at promoting growth.

A total of 1,772,712.363 BNB tokens, valued at approximately $1.07 billion, were burned this quarter. The foundation's blog post indicated that future burns will occur directly on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), with the burnt tokens sent to a “black hole” address.

Can The Latest Burn Event Propel BNB’s Price To $600?

Token burning removes tokens from circulation to potentially increase their value. The quarterly token burn impacts BNB’s price by reducing supply, thus creating a deflationary effect.

The regularity of these burns demonstrates the foundation’s commitment to the token's long-term success, which may enhance market sentiment and investor confidence in BNB as a stable investment.

However, examining prior burns is essential for assessing potential effects. The 28th burn on July 22, 2024, did not lead to a price increase; BNB's price fell over 22% from just above $600 to a low of $464 two weeks post-burn due to broader market bearishness.

Recently, BNB has remained in a consolidation phase, reflecting trends in Bitcoin and the overall crypto market. Bitcoin has shown signs of recovery, recently reaching $70,000. A strong correlation between BNB and Bitcoin suggests that if Bitcoin continues to perform well, BNB may also rise, potentially reclaiming the $600 mark.
