However, on July 11, 2019, the exchange has announced that it completed the eighth Binance Coin (BNB) token burn event.
In addition, it had also stated that the exchange is intending to burn team allocated BNB tokens, counting 808,888 BNB. This comes in a wake of the company’s commitment of burning 100 million BNB tokens wherein team’s allocation counts at 40% of the total supply.
On the day of Binance’s anniversary (July 14, 2019), BNB was valuing the market capitalization of $4.1 billion, resting as a sixth-biggest crypto asset on Coinmarketcap.

Crypto Market | Coinmarketcap CZ’s Responds to Declining VolumeThe effect of BNB’s declining value can be quickly captured at the Twitter handle of Binance’s CEO CZ who posted a tweet, observing, “CMC just gave an 80M BNB haircut. He apparently adds that CMC’s calculation of circulating supply works well for mining coins and not projects with burn (BNB).
CMC just gave an 80M BNB haircut. They way CMC calculate Circulating Supply works only for mining coins, it does not work for projects with burn, unlocked team allocations, etc.
