BNB Token review
BNB is a native cryptocurrency for BNB Chain (ex BSC Smart chain) that provides holders advantages on Binance Exchange and can be used for paying fees and for DeFi staking on the BNB Chain.
Short token history
BNB token was created in July 2017 by the Binance team and launched as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. The initial token distribution was conducted via Initial Coin Offering (ICO), where 50% (100 mln) was sold in a public sale with a price of $0.15, 10% (20 mln) was sent to initial Investors, and 40% (80 mln) of the total token supply reminded for the team. After the release of the BSC Smart Chain (BNB chain), this token was transferred and became the main native cryptocurrency on this blockchain with the BEP-20 token standard.
Utility
BNB token has many utility cases, the most important of which are:
- BNB tokens can be used to pay fees for conducting swaps on the Binance Exchange, make credit card payments, and be the main currency for participation in different Binance events: NFT and Lottery ticket sales, buying products from partners, etc.
- To list the next project on the Binance exchange, people may vote for their candidates by staking BNB tokens.
- Used as a gas token on the BNB chain network. For this reason, you need this token to conduct any transaction on this blockchain.
- It is used in staking to choose top validators on the BNB chain who will have a right to validate new blocks in exchange for staking rewards.
- As a main exchange and staking token on many DeFi projects on the BNB chain
Economical value
At the moment, BNB is one of the popular coins with a price of $250 for a token and a total capitalization of around 38 billion dollars, according to CoinMarketCap data. The total token supply was capped at 200 million coins. However, this number will be significantly reduced because of the Buyback and Burn policy introduced by the Binance team. By following this policy, the exchange uses 20% of its profit to buy and burn tokens to destroy 50% of the total token supply and increase the value of the BNB token in the long run. As of the latest information, the circulating supply of BNB is around 150 to 153 million BNB.
Binance exchange is the main advantage of the token, but at the same time, it is a main weak point because everything that happens with exchange instantly reflects on the token price. Many crypto specialists criticize the BNB chain for its centralization and that major token holders can easily manipulate BNB token prices. It’s one of the reasons why BNB is considered a high-risk investment.
How to hold in the wallet
BNB token is stored on the BNB chain, which is an EVM-compatible blockchain. To add this token to your wallet, you need to be sure that it supports the BNB chain. We advise you to use the Wigwam crypto wallet app, which has integrated the BNB chain from the box.
How to stake BNB
Many crypto platforms have an option of BNB staking with average rewards around 2.1% APR. Some of the most popular solutions are MathWallet, HashQuark, ANKR, XBanking, Coinbase Cloud, etc.
Also, you may stake your BNB tokens in different DeFI projects on the BNB chain with a more lucrative APR. However, these staking options are considered more risky and can cause a loss of funds.
