Binance Executes 11th BNB Burn, Launches Smart Contracts Platform

Binance – the world’s leading digital currency exchange announced on Apr 18 that it has completed the 11th quarterly BNB token burn, which was also the largest ever in the exchange’s history, in terms of BNB burned and FIAT volume. The team burned over 3,373,988 BNB tokens, representing 1.69% of the supply and currently worth over $52M (around $52,466,000). The high burn is indicative of Binance growing business in the Q1 2020, since the exchange uses its profits to burn tokens. The token burn is carried out to increase the value of existing tokens, since the deflationary activity removes the tokens in circulation.

Binance Smart Contracts Platform – Binance Smart Chain

Binance has also announced the launch of a parallel blockchain Binance Smart Chain on Apr 17, alongside the existing Binance Chain and Binance DEX. The new blockchain would have the ability to implement programmable smart contracts. The press release also reveals that it would have interoperability with Ethereum and other characteristics of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

The Binance Smart Chain will be a sovereign, cross compatible, low fees and high performance blockchain. It will feature on-chain governance via staking feature, relying on 21 validators providing transaction validation and decentralization. It will provide another use case for the native BNB tokens and reduce its circulating supply, since people will lock it for the staking mechanism. The BNB tokens are set to gain further value, going by the advancements in the Binance ecosystem.
