BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain ecosystem, has been in the spotlight recently as the network kicked off 2026 with its 34th quarterly token burn, permanently removing approximately 1.37 million BNB from circulation—a move valued at around $1.3 billion that supports the token’s deflationary mechanics and supply scarcity. This burn and other ecosystem developments, including the Fermi upgrade that significantly increases transaction speed and network performance, have helped maintain strong activity on the chain and boosted market sentiment around BNB.
