BlockBeats News, October 29th, YZi Labs released a long article titled “BNB: The Core Engine of the Global Web3 Economy.” The article mentioned that about two-thirds of BNB’s supply is held by non-affiliated public holders (on exchanges and in self-custody), while CZ’s personal BNB holdings account for less than 1% of the total supply. The Binance BNB treasury holds approximately 4 to 5% of the circulating supply. About 27% of the circulating supply is held by the BNB Foundation and is locked for programmatic burning (not for sale) — this is a transparent on-chain mechanism that over time strengthens BNB’s deflationary design.
BNB adopts a programmatic self-balancing mechanism. Its targeted maximum supply is 1 billion tokens, with a total maximum supply of 2.02 billion tokens, and the current circulating supply is approximately 137 million tokens. Managed by two complementary mechanisms — automatic burning and BEP-95 — over 64 million BNB tokens have been permanently burned, accounting for over 31.8% of the historical supply. Based on BNB’s price of around $1115 on October 26, 2025, this means that approximately $72 billion worth of BNB has been burned.
The article also mentioned that CZ recently received clemency and sent a strong positive signal to the market, creating an excellent opportunity for the promotion and application of BNB in North America and globally.
