A total of 1,441,281 BNB were removed from circulation, valued at approximately $1.208 billion USD at the time of the burn.
The remaining total supply now stands at 137,738,379 BNB, moving closer to the long-term target of 100 million BNB. Token burns are a key feature of BNB Chain’s design, serving to reduce supply, increase scarcity, and incentivize adoption within the ecosystem.
How the BNB Burn Works
BNB, the native coin of BNB Chain, powers multiple layers of the ecosystem, including BNB Smart Chain, opBNB Layer 2 solutions, and BNB Greenfield. Beyond transaction fees, BNB functions as a governance token, giving holders a voice in the network’s decentralized on-chain decisions. It also serves as a strategic reserve asset, attracting institutional attention and supporting ecosystem growth.
The quarterly burn is part of BNB’s Auto-Burn system. It adjusts the number of tokens burned based on the BNB price. Also, the number of blocks produced during a quarter. This ensures a transparent, predictable, and auditable process, independent of the Binance centralized exchange. The tokens are permanently sent to a “blackhole” address, effectively removing them from circulation. Due to recent upgrades, BSC now produces blocks more frequently, so burn parameters were adjusted to maintain consistency with the system’s original design.
The 33rd quarterly $BNB token burn has been completed directly on BNB Smart Chain (BSC).

Additionally, BNB features a real-time burn mechanism linked to gas fees. Validators on BSC calculate the ratio of fees collected in each block, which is then burned at a fixed rate. Since the introduction of BEP95, roughly 276,000 BNB have been burned through this method, further reducing supply dynamically as the network grows.
Why This Matters
Quarterly burns are more than a bookkeeping exercise. They help maintain BNB’s value by gradually reducing supply while supporting the broader BNB Chain ecosystem. For example, developers building decentralized applications, games, and NFT platforms on BSC rely on BNB for transaction fees, making the coin central to daily network activity. Regular burns, combined with real-time mechanisms, provide transparency and predictability, reassuring both retail and institutional participants.

The 33rd burn marks a continued commitment to BNB’s philosophy of “Build and Build,” fostering ecosystem growth and strengthening its role in Web3 finance. Investors and ecosystem participants can track burns in real time and observe how tokenomics directly influence supply, demand, and adoption.
