2021-07-19 | Big Bob

Leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance completes its 16th quarterly Binance Coin [BNB] burn, burning over $390 Mln worth of BNB.
Earlier on 18
th July, Binance reported that it had destroyed 1,296,728 BNB tokens valued at
slightly below $400 Mln at the reporting time.
The exchange additionally added that 5,163 BNB were burned via its
Pioneer Burn Program - an incentive that aims
to assist users who have lost tokens through honestly mistaken transactions to smart contracts.
Binance covers the losses, returning the tokens to users under specific circumstances. These token numbers are then
deducted from the quarterly burn totals by the exchange.

Binance has pledged to burn 20% of the exchange’s profits
quarterly, with
the newest burn suggesting the exchange might have profited by $2 Bln within the second quarter of this year.
The latest burn
is among the second-largest in Binance Coin's history by fiat value, with a whopping $600 Mln worth BNB having been destroyed earlier in March.
Despite
the size of the burn, the event appears
to have very little impact on the BNB
markets, with BNB prices trending sideways over the weekend.
At the reporting time, BNB is presently trading at a price of around
$280.89 USD.
It's presently down 61% from its 10
th May all-time high of $686 USD but remains up
a powerful 700% since
the starting of this year.
