BNB Supply Update: Public Holders Dominate Distribution
The landscape of Binance Coin (BNB) ownership has undergone a significant shift, with public holders now dominating the distribution. According to recent data, approximately 66-67% of BNB’s total supply is held by public participants, including exchange users and those in self-custody wallets.
Ownership Profile and Distribution
A closer look at the ownership profile reveals that around 27% of the supply is controlled by the BNB Foundation, which maintains a burn reserve used for programmatic token burns. This mechanism is designed to reduce supply and reinforce BNB’s deflationary model gradually. Meanwhile, the treasury accounts for about 4-5% of circulating BNB, serving operational and custodial functions. Notably, the founder of Binance, Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, personally holds less than 1% of the total supply.
Impact on Price Action and Market Trends
In terms of price action, BNB has traded mostly between $1,000 and $1,300 over the past month, facing significant volatility but maintaining a generally sideways trend. The token started the month near $1,008 and rose sharply in the first half of October to reach an all-time high above $1,300. However, this rally was followed by a steady correction as prices declined toward the $1,050-$1,100 range.
Expanding US Market Exposure
Despite struggles to regain earlier highs, BNB’s exposure to US markets appears to be expanding. New financial instruments, such as BNB digital asset treasuries (DATs), ETFs, and listings on major exchanges like Robinhood and Coinbase, provide indirect access for US-based participants. These developments allow investors to gain exposure to BNB using fiat currencies without direct purchases.
Regulatory Developments and Controversy
In a related development, CZ was recently granted a "full and unconditional" pardon by US President Donald Trump. This move could ease certain regulatory constraints for Binance tied to past US government cases. However, the pardon sparked controversy, with US Senator Elizabeth Warren labeling the decision as "corruption" and alleging that CZ had financed Trump-linked cryptocurrency ventures before seeking clemency.
Market Analysis and Future Impact
From a broader market perspective, the dispersal of BNB ownership and its expanding US market exposure could signal a maturation of the Ethereum (ETH) competitor. As more investors gain access to BNB through traditional financial instruments, it may attract a wider range of investors, potentially leading to increased liquidity and a more stable market. Retail investors, in particular, may benefit from the growing accessibility of BNB, as it offers an alternative to more established Bitcoin (BTC) and ETH, with its own unique features and potential for growth. However, the ongoing regulatory environment and potential controversies surrounding Binance and its founder will likely continue to influence the token’s performance and adoption.
