With the latest BNB burn, Binance has burned 46.148 million BNB tokens in total to date. The exchange uses an Auto-Burn system to reduce the total circulating supply to 100,000,000 BNB. The mechanism calculates the amount of BNB to be burned based on the BNB price and the number of blocks generated on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) during the quarter.
According to the BNB burn portal, the estimated value of the next burn is 2,009,639.84 BNB. However, the current data suggest that the number of BNB tokens is likely to increase in the 24th quarterly BNB token burn.

Is BNB Price Rally Coming Next?

BNB price soared 4% in the last 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $333. The 24-hour low and high are $321 and $335, respectively. The upside momentum is supported by a 40% increase in trading volume in the last 24 hours.
