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.
The overall value of the crypto market makes it $100 billion more valuable than Apple. The $1.1 trillion value of Bitcoin puts it ahead of the likes of other heavyweight companies including Tesla and Facebook.
