37th burn removes 1,646,196.44 BNB

The BNB Chain Blog said the 37th quarterly BNB token burn reduced the remaining total supply to 131,512,085 BNB at 10:05 AM UTC on October 19, 2026. The tokens were sent to a blackhole address, meaning they were removed from usable circulation, and the reported value at the time was 1.20 billion USD.

The burn uses BNB's Auto-Burn system, which adjusts the quarterly amount using BNB's price and the number of blocks produced on BNB Smart Chain during the quarter. The same October 19, 2026 report said the mechanism is intended to reduce total supply toward 100 million BNB. It also described a separate real-time burn of part of network gas fees, with the ratio set through validator governance.

Separately, Crypto ETF Blog reported zero net flow for BNB spot ETFs on October 16, 2026. Spot ETFs hold the underlying asset rather than a derivative contract.
