What Is BNB?
BNB is the native token of the Binance ecosystem — the world's largest crypto exchange by volume. Originally launched as an ERC-20 token in 2017, it migrated to Binance's own chain (BSC) in 2019. BNB powers trading fee discounts, DeFi on BSC, and Binance's Launchpad token sales.
Why BNB matters:
• Exchange discount: BNB holders get up to 25% trading fee reduction on Binance.
• BSC ecosystem: BNB fuels Binance Smart Chain — home to PancakeSwap and hundreds of DeFi projects.
• Deflationary: Binance burns BNB quarterly, permanently reducing supply.
• Multi-use: pay for travel, virtual gifts, and even real-world services with BNB.
