Record-Breaking Token Burn: OKX Destroys $258M of OKB

Published by

OKX executed a planned burning of its OKB tokens, amounting to more than $258 million, during the period from March to May. As a result of this move, the value of the token increased while the broader cryptocurrency market remained relatively stable. 

According to OKX’s buyback and burn report released on Friday, a total of 5,497,312.77 OKB tokens were repurchased and burned from the secondary market. Following the announcement of the completed burn, the price of OKB tokens rose from $44 to $45. Over the past 24 hours, OKB tokens have seen a 1.4% increase and currently hold a market capitalization exceeding $2.6 billion. 

The buy-and-burn program, initiated in May 2019, involves OKX purchasing OKB tokens from the original supply of 300,000,000 every three months, based on seasonal market conditions and operational performance.

Crypto burn refers to the process of permanently removing a portion of a cryptocurrency’s token supply from circulation. It is typically done by sending the tokens to an address where they become unspendable or are destroyed in a verifiable manner. The purpose of burning tokens can vary depending on the cryptocurrency project’s goals and objectives.
