Bitget Announces First BGB Token Burn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The cryptocurrency exchange<\/a> Bitget has revealed fresh modifications to its tokenomics and improvements to its Bitget Token whitepaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitget announced on Friday that it would burn 800 million BGB tokens, or 40% of the entire token supply, owned by the core team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 100% of the remaining tokens in circulation, this burn will lower the total BGB supply to 1.2 billion tokens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the news announcement, Bitget intends to publicize the burn's on-chain recordings. The price of BGB surged 23% to $8.36 amid the news, increasing the token's market capitalization<\/a> to $11.7 billion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the first burn, Bitget has promised to destroy 20% of its profits\u2014from trading fees across all of Bitget's services\u2014every quarter to burn BGB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exchange promised to reveal the specifics of the burn following each quarterly event and stated that the repurchased tokens would be delivered to a burn address.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move follows Bitget's announcement that it will combine its Bitget Wallet Token with BGB to form a single ecosystem token for the Bitget Wallet and Bitget exchange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to give customers a one-stop web3 and consumption service\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, the combined token will begin to extend into off-chain payfi scenarios in 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will enable payments in restaurants, transport, petrol, and shopping. The firm also revealed an updated plan for the Bitget Wallet on December 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to this roadmap, BGB will be the main token used to pay multi-chain gas fees<\/a> through its GetGase function starting in January 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
