• BNB completed its second quarterly auto-burn and removed $741 million worth of Binance Coin tokens out of circulation. 
  • A regulatory filing with Thailand Stock Exchange revealed Gulf Energy’s investment in BNB, worth an undisclosed amount, through a crypto subsidiary. 
  • 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. 

@AltcoinSherpa believes BNB is currently in the accumulation phase, and the token is ready for a move to the upside.
