• Binance executed its 35th quarterly BNB burn on April 15, permanently removing 2.14 million BNB valued at about $1.32 billion. This reduces the circulating supply and is part of ongoing deflationary measures. The burn helps maintain price stability around $630 as selling pressure eases from outflows.
• BNB Chain schedules the mandatory Osaka/Mendel hard fork for April 28 at 02:30 UTC to enhance block processing and validator efficiency. This upgrade aligns with the 2026 Tech Roadmap targeting higher throughput and reliability under load. It builds on prior forks like Fermi to support ecosystem growth.

These improvements aid high-speed dapps and developer adoption on the EVM-compatible chain.
• BNB Chain burned 1.57 million BNB tokens valued at $1.02 billion in its 35th quarterly burn, lowering total supply to 134.79 million. The auto-burn process targets a maximum of 100 million BNB over time. This mechanism supports token economics as ecosystem usage expands with DeFi and L2 activity.
