BNB (BNB) is nearing its 37th quarterly token burn, an event expected in mid-October according to a Binance Square post dated October 11, 2026. The BNB price stands at 730.60 USD as of October 16, 2026, up 0.05 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 15, 2026; market capitalization is 97.20 billion USD and rank 4, according to Investing.com.

The 37th burn is expected in October

The Binance post said the projected 37th burn could remove 1.6 million BNB. It also said the previous burn destroyed 1,615,828 BNB and put total supply at 133.17 million BNB. A token burn permanently removes coins from circulation, while the quarterly process is part of BNB's supply-reduction system.

The same Binance post said the last three burns produced flat to 1-2 percent moves on the day. That observation gives the upcoming supply event a measurable historical counterpoint without establishing a direct link to the current BNB price.

Pasteur adoption reaches 98 percent

Pluang reported on October 4, 2026, that the recent Pasteur hard fork had reached 98 percent adoption. A hard fork is a coordinated change to a blockchain's software rules; adoption measures how widely network participants have installed the relevant version.

TechBullion reported on October 12, 2026, that BNB Chain had 2,019,217 addresses holding real-world assets on chain. The figure covers assets such as stocks and bonds represented as blockchain tokens, rather than a count of BNB holders.
