The total supply of Binance Coin is capped at 200 million tokens. A key feature of BNB's tokenomics is its quarterly token burn, whereby [[Binance]] uses 20% of its profits to buy back and permanently destroy a portion of BNB [[Token|tokens]]. This process aims to reduce the overall supply of BNB and increase its value over time. Binance will continue the quarterly token burn until 50% of the total [[BNB]] supply (100 million tokens) has been burned.

Origins of Binance Coin

Binance Coin was created by [[Binance]], one of the world's largest and most popular cryptocurrency exchanges, founded by Changpeng Zhao (CZ) in 2017. Initially, BNB was an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain. However, in 2019, Binance launched its own blockchain, [[Binance Smart Chain]] (BSC), and BNB transitioned from an ERC-20 token to its native BEP-2 token standard.

The Binance Coin ICO

Binance Coin was initially distributed through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in July 2017, raising approximately $15 million for the development and growth of the Binance exchange.

The total supply of Binance Coin is capped at 200 million tokens. A key feature of BNB's tokenomics is its quarterly token burn, whereby [[Binance]] uses 20% of its profits to buy back and permanently destroy a portion of BNB tokens. This process aims to reduce the overall supply of BNB and increase its value over time. Binance will continue the quarterly token burn until 50% of the total BNB supply (100 million tokens) has been burned.

Uses of Binance Coin

Binance Coin serves multiple purposes within the Binance ecosystem and has expanded its utility beyond the exchange:

6. Payment Option: Some merchants and platforms accept BNB as a form of payment for goods and services, adding to its utility as a digital currency.
