【Chain News】BNB Chain officially announces the completion of its token burn plan for the first quarter of 2026. A total of 1,371,803.77 BNB tokens have been burned in this round (including 100.1 tokens burned by the Pioneer). Based on the market price at the time of burning, the total value reached approximately $1.277 billion.

The burn process is carried out through an automated mechanism, which is part of the BNB ecosystem’s ongoing supply management strategy. According to the announcement, the BNB Foundation’s long-term goal is to gradually reduce the total circulating supply to 100 million tokens. As of now, the remaining total supply of BNB is 136 million tokens.

This type of periodic burn mechanism is widely regarded as an important method for token deflation. By systematically repurchasing and burning a portion of tokens, project teams can counteract excessive liquidity expansion while maintaining the long-term value expectations of the token. As the core asset of the mainstream public chain ecosystem, BNB’s burn progress has always attracted market attention.

Over 1.3 million BNB just gone like that, it feels a bit harsh. Should I sell or not, brother? If they keep burning at this rate, how long will it take to reach 100 million? BNB's automatic destruction mechanism is really well designed, much more conscientious than some projects. At this rate... the ones we hold might actually become a bit scarce.

1.37 million tokens gone, if this burning continues, BNB really seems to be becoming scarce What's going on, 1.36 billion still needs to be burned down to 1 billion, this pace is a bit intense Burning, to put it simply, is about hedging inflation; I remain optimistic 1.2 billion USD can be burned just like that, the crypto world is just so capricious Wait, when will the goal of 100 million be reached? It might take until the Year of the Monkey or the Horse to achieve it
