"Burning" is the process of shrinking the token's circulating supply. Binance is on track to destroy 50% of all BNB tokens every quarter.
The number of tokens that are destroyed each quarter is calculated based on the trading volume on Binance's crypto-to-crypto exchange.
The BNB price added a meager 1.2% after the burn was announced before quickly trimming even such modest gains.

Last week, BNB recorded a double-digit price spike after announcing a $1 billion growth fund.
