BNB’s quarterly burning mechanism aims to reduce the circulating supply of tokens over time. The amount of BNB to be burned is determined by an automated burning system that takes into account factors such as the number of blocks on the network and the token price.
Regular burning operations did not trigger any increase in the BNB price. As of this writing, the BNB price has lost 0.6% in the last 24 hours.
