Token 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:

✔️ ETH became deflationary at times
✔️ Strengthened "ultrasound money" status
What we can learn:
✅ Usage-driven burning creates natural price pressure

✔️ 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
