Why is BNB Up Today? $1B Token Burn and Corporate Treasury Plans Fuel Demand

BNB is edging closer to the $700 mark as traders responded to a fresh $1 billion token burn and growing interest in using the asset as a corporate treasury reserve.

Over the last 24-hour period, BNB rose about 2.8%, from $670.40 to $688.7. Trading surged as the price moved up, amid a broader cryptocurrency market rally that saw bitcoin hit a new all-time high above $118,000.

The price briefly hit an intraday peak near $695 before settling into a tight range around $689.

The wally wasn’t just fueled by the rising crypto tide. Binance’s 32nd quarterly burn permanently removed about 1.59 million BNB from circulation, bringing the total value burned to 265,605 BNB according to a tracking website.

The burns are part of a deflationary strategy aiming to cut the total supply to 100 million tokens.

On top of this, over 30 teams are reportedly working on ways to structure public-company treasury reserves in BNB, with investment firm 10X Capital backing a plan for a $500 million U.S.-listed BNB treasury company.

Active addresses on BNB Chain have doubled since March, hovering around 2.5 million daily, according to Nansen data. Similarly, average daily transaction volumes have tripled.

Investors are watching to see if BNB can crack the psychological barrier at $700 in the days ahead.
