Mehr lesenToken Burning: Lessons from Market Leaders and What It Means for WEXO
In the crypto world, one rule repeats itself:
the scarcer the token, the more valuable it becomes.
Token burning—a permanent removal of tokens from circulation—is a proven strategy used by the biggest projects globally to enhance trust and support token prices.
🔍 Let’s take a look at practical examples.
🔥 Burning is More Than a Tokenomics Feature
For successful crypto projects, burning has become a strategic tool for:
✔️ Supporting token value
✔️ Increasing ecosystem credibility
✔️ Activating community engagement
Let’s examine these examples and answer together:
What did burning mean for these projects and what can WEXO take from it?
1️⃣ Binance Coin (BNB): Iconic Example of Burning Success
What they did:
✔️ Quarterly burning of BNB tokens
✔️ Later introduced an Auto-Burn system linked to activity and trading volume
Result:
✔️ Over 42 million BNB burned (worth billions)
✔️ Price soared from $0.10 to $600 (2017–2021)
✔️ Demonstrated long-term commitment and transparency
What we can learn:
✅ Regularity and transparency build trust
✅ Burning motivates ecosystem usage
2️⃣ Ethereum (ETH): Burning as an Ecosystem Upgrade
What they did:
✔️ Introduced EIP-1559 fee-burning
✔️ Part of every transaction fee is automatically burned
Result:
✔️ Billions of dollars in ETH burned since August 2021
✔️ ETH became deflationary at times
✔️ Strengthened "ultrasound money" status
What we can learn:
✅ Usage-driven burning creates natural price pressure
✅ More network usage = more burning
3️⃣ Crypto.com (CRO): Massive One-Time Burning
What they did:
✔️ Burned 70 billion CRO tokens (over 70% of supply) before launching Crypto.org chain
Result:
✔️ Gained immediate market attention
✔️ CRO price surged from $0.08 to $0.90
✔️ Built trust in their blockchain and DeFi ecosystem
What we can learn:
✅ Large one-time burns trigger rapid market response
✅ Momentum must be maintained through utility and staking
4️⃣ Shiba Inu (SHIB): Community-Driven Burning
What they did:
✔️ Community burned SHIB via NFT fees, merch, and transaction fees
Result:
✔️ Created strong hype
✔️ Increased community engagement despite high supply
What we can learn:
✅ Burning strengthens community and FOMO
✅ Even small-scale burning adds supply pressure
🔥 Comparison of Leading Projects That Burned Their Tokens
| Project | % Burned of Total Supply | Mechanism | Price Impact | Ecosystem Impact |

| Ethereum (ETH) | ~3.5% annually (variable) | EIP-1559 transaction fee burning | ~$250 → ~$4,800 | Deflationary asset, "ultrasound money" |

| Shiba Inu (SHIB) | <1% (ongoing) | Community & developer-driven | +500,000% | Massive FOMO, strong community |
| WEXO (Phase 1) | ~14.5% | Regular monthly burning | ??? | Predicted: Long-term deflation, trust |
