It’s interesting to note that the last burn took place back in July and it saw BNB worth about $23,838,000 million taken out of the supply.
This implies a growth of about 56% in the company’s profits over the past three months alone. During this period, Binance launched Bitcoin futures trading, which already surpassed the spot trading in terms of volumes, perhaps adding to the company’s revenues.
In addition, Binance also added other features to its platform, including Binance staking for 12 cryptocurrencies at the time of this writing. Users are able to stake them in return for an annualized interest rate, hence giving them an option to earn passively.
Despite the plunging prices of cryptocurrencies in the past three months, the company is obviously doing well and it manages to keep its profits increasing.
Will BNB Price React?
In theory, when the supply of an asset is reduced while the demand for it remains the same or increases, its price should go up.
Since news of the burn broke out, BNB has managed to mark a slight increase in its price.
As seen on the chart, BNB increased to slightly above $18, which is an increase of a little more than 3%. It’s interesting to see whether the coin will be able to gain more.
