BNB Chain burns $772 million worth of BNB

BNB Chain successfully burned over 1.8 million BNB tokens in a transaction completed on April 19, 2022.

According to data from Binance Explorer, 1,830,382.48 BNB were burned in the transaction. The market value of the tokens at the time of burning was over USD 772 million.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao previously confirmed the removal of the 1.8 million+ BNB . He also reported on the successful burn and explained that this activity is part of BNB's whitepaper.

This was BNB's 19th burn (for Q1 2022) after Binance introduced an auto-burn system, which is automatically triggered by an on-chain command.

The auto-burn system allows for a scheduled removal of BNB from circulation, taking into account the price of the coin and the total number of blocks generated on the Binance Smart Chain in the given quarter. For the first quarter of 2022, the total number of blocks was 2,581,627 with an average price of $403.22.

During the 18th burn, over $729 million worth of BNB was phased out.

An estimated 1.8 million BNB (estimated at $769 million) will also be phased out at the next burn. According to data from BNB Chain, the 20th burn is expected to come at an average price of $424.59.

BNB Chain plans to reduce the total supply from 200,000,000 BNB tokens to 100,000,000. A total of over 34.6 million tokens were destroyed by the last fire. Data shows that the circulating supply is currently just over 165.3 million.

BNB is trading at $420 at the time of writing, with the token's value up 4.4% over the past 24 hours. BNB/USD has gained nearly 7% over the past week.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing.

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
