From the ICO, Binance issued its own token called the Binance Coin, with BNB as the symbol. BNB runs natively on the Ethereum blockchain and follows the ERC20 token standard.The token was established with a total supply of 200 million. As per our whitepaper, Binance plans to use 20% of our profits each Quarter to buyback and burn BNB, until 50% of the total BNB supply (100 million) is burned. The BNB token itself has multiple forms of utility, essentially being the underlying gas that powers the Binance Ecosystem. The current most prominent use cases include using BNB to: – Pay for trading fees on the exchange, obtaining the equivalent of a 50% discount on trades (during the first year). – Monaco has included support for Binance’s BNB token to its platform which includes the Monaco Visa Card and mobile app. – Uplive platform supports BNB to buy virtual gifts.
Binance’s new trading stocks tokens feature has received a positive response from users worldwide with the TSLA/BUSD trading pair seeing strong volumes. The new feature allows global investors to participate in traditional stock markets.
Shooting 27% BNB price has surged past $600 for the very first time. With the surge, Binance Coin has registered nearly 1300% gains year-to-date beating some of the biggest traditional banking institutions.
