As detailed by the protocol, the more than 1.5 million BNB burnt was worth an approximate value of $916.07 million at the time of burn completion. Despite the consistency in the burning trend, the protocol still has 40,886,572.43 BNB left to be burned.

As of press time, the price of BNB has yet to respond to the general positive burning trend. The coin was changing hands for $580.65, down by 2.1% in 24 hours. Key performance metrics like the trading volume have matched the burn milestone by 2.36% to $1,374,151,287.68.
What's next for Binance Coin?
As reported by U.Today, the last time BNB Chain conducted a token burn was Jan. 23. At that time, 1,634,200 BNB were sent to dead wallets, adding to the growing push to reduce the supply.
