Foundation

On Monday, the BNB Foundation announced the execution of its 28th quarterly BNB token burn. The mechanism burned over 1.64 million BNB tokens (approximately worth $971 million) in the routine process. 
BNB is the native coin of the BNB Chain ecosystem that supports its Web3 ecosystem. After the mainnet launch back in 2019, the token made its transition from the Ethereum Network to the BNB Chain. The foundation utilizes the auto burn system to moderately reduce the tokens’ supply to 100 million.

28th quarterly <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/binance-burns-a-significant-pegged-tokens/">BNB token burn</a> recorded a slight decline from the last similar event. The 27th quarterly burn report depicted that 1,944,452.51 BNB tokens (approximately worth $1.17 billion) were sent to the dead wallet forever. However, this quarter saw a burn of 1,643,698.8 BNB tokens. 
The <a href="https://www.bnbchain.org/en/blog/28th-bnb-burn" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">report</a> mentioned that the foundation Auto-burn lays out an independently auditable, objective process for them. However, this burn event happened directly on BSC due to the ongoing BNB Chain Fusion. The mechanism stands free from Binance.

This is unlike the previous burn events, as due to the ongoing BNB Chain Fusion, this quarter’s burn and future burns will happen directly on BSC. The burn tokens are being sent to the wallet named “blackhole.” 
The report also mentioned that the chain implements a real-time burning mechanism which is based on gas fees. More than 234K BNB tokens have been burnt since the introduction of BEP95.
