What is BNB?
Binance Coin, bearing the symbol BNB, is a cryptocurrency originating from the renowned Binance exchange. As of August 2023, Binance Exchange is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, boasting a staggering trading volume of $6.7 billion.
The market capitalization of Binance Coin has surged beyond $36 billion, securing its position right behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USD Tether in the hierarchy of market capitalization.
While initially designed as a utility token in 2017 to offer discounts on trading fees, Binance has evolved into a versatile asset with many applications. These now encompass covering transaction fees on the Binance Chain, facilitating travel bookings, enhancing entertainment experiences, enabling online services, and even powering financial solutions.
Originally built upon the Ethereum blockchain utilizing the ERC-20 standard, Binance Coin later transitioned to become the intrinsic cryptocurrency of the Binance Chain. Launched through an initial coin offering (ICO) in July 2017, this coin boasts a definitive cap of 200 million BNB tokens.
In its ICO distribution strategy, 10% (equivalent to 20 million tokens) was allocated to angel investors, the founding team received 40% (or 80 million tokens), and the remaining 50% (comprising 100 million tokens) was made available to diverse participants engaging in the ICO procedure.
As of August 15, 2023, BNB held the fourth position in the cryptocurrency market cap rankings, trailing behind only Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USD Tether.
Despite the initial offering of 100 million Binance tokens during the ICO, the total supply is lower. Every quarter, Binance employs one-fifth of its profits to repurchase and permanently eradicate, often called “burning,” Binance coins retained within its treasury.
Binance has consistently executed these burning events, with the most recent occurrence occurring on April 14, 2023. Binance conducted a substantial burn during this event, eliminating 2,020,132.25 BNB tokens. It holds a considerable total of $676,744,304 in token value. Marking the 23rd quarterly BNB burn, it ranks as one of the most significant in terms of U.S. dollars.
As of August 15, 2023, the Binance Smart Chain handled a remarkable 3.9 million daily transactions. This impressive figure tripled Ethereum’s historical peak in daily transactions, although it did represent a decrease from the record-breaking nearly 16 million daily transactions achieved in November 2021.
