BNB Chain removes 1.646 million tokens

The Auto-Burn mechanism permanently removes BNB from the network supply using a formula tied to BNB's price and BNB Smart Chain block production, according to Binance. The October 19, 2026, event was the 37th quarterly burn. Unlike a token transfer or sale, a burn sends tokens to an inaccessible address, taking them out of circulation. BNB Chain also identifies gas-fee burning as a separate supply mechanism, according to CoinGape.

Stablecoin activity reaches 22.7 million addresses

A report from Mercuryo and BNB Chain, as reported by The Cryptonomist, found that transfers below 100 USD accounted for 77.4 percent of third-quarter activity, while transfers of at least 10,000 USD carried 66.2 percent of the value. The same report put monthly active addresses at 22.7 million in September 2026, with a median network fee of 0.0068 USD. The figures show broad low-value activity alongside a smaller group of larger transfers.
