- BNB completed its second quarterly auto-burn and removed $741 million worth of Binance Coin tokens out of circulation.

- Proponents believe a reduction in BNB supply coupled with the demand from institutional investors could fuel a Binance Coin price rally.
BNB has now completed its second auto-burn in 2022, pulling 1.84 million BNB tokens out of circulation. Analysts predict a breakout in BNB price as a supply shortage brews across exchanges.
BNB price prepares for a breakout amidst tokenburn
BNB price is set for a rebound after the altcoin completed its auto-burn and further reduced its circulating supply. A total of 1.84 million BNB tokens were pulled out of circulation and burned, wiping out $741 million in Binance coin.
The burn schedule systematically reduces the volume of BNB in circulation and feeds a supply shortage. Typically, a reduction in circulating supply across exchanges results in a price rally.
Interestingly, a recent filing with the Thailand Stock Exchange revealed Gulf Energy’s investment in BNB. The energy giant purchased an undisclosed amount of BNB tokens through a crypto subsidiary and diversified into crypto.
Proponents believe a brewing supply shortage in BNB, coupled with institutional demand for Binance Coin could drive a price rally.
Analysts have evaluated the BNB price trend and adopted a bullish outlook. @DaCryptoGeneral, a pseudonymous crypto analyst, believes Bitcoin – which influences all other cryptocurrencies – price action is still bullish, and the recent downside move was a healthy correction for BNB. The analyst argues that BNB is ready for its next impulsive move, and a retest of the broken symmetrical triangle could push the token to $510.
