The Leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced that it has completed its 17th annual token burn, which burned 1,335,888 BNB worth about $ 639,462,868.
Based on the news released by the platform, this move is part of the crypto platform's commitment to burn 50% of BNB quarterly.
He adds that 40% of the cryptocurrency supply has been allocated to the Binance team, but the funds "remain intact with no BNB tokens used or sold".

In the past few months, we have hired many former regulators. They will strengthen our team, understand what we are doing, analyze gaps and work with us on improvements.
They can also communicate in a language that their colleagues understand. In addition, they bring credibility and trust. he said.
