According to the official announcement, Binance executed the burn by eliminating 2.139 million BNB tokens through the 25th quarterly BNB token burn, facilitated by the BNB Auto-Burn process. Notably, this latest quarterly burn also included 314.69 BNB tokens that were removed via the Pioneer Burn Program.

With this latest transaction, Binance effectively reduced the circulating supply of BNB by an additional 2 million tokens. As a result, the current circulating supply of BNB stands at 151,705,885 BNB. Binance’s strategic objective remains to bring the BNB circulating supply below 100,000,000 through continued application of the BNB Auto-Burn process.

This 25th quarterly token burn event contributes to Binance’s ongoing initiative to decrease the total circulating supply of BNB. The Auto-Burn protocol employed by the exchange calculates the quantity of BNB to be incinerated based on the BNB price and the number of blocks generated on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) during the respective quarter.

While the estimated value of the next burn, as per the BNB burn portal, is approximately 2,180,464 BNB, it is essential to note that current data trends indicate a potential increase in the number of BNB tokens for the upcoming 26th quarterly BNB token burn.
