What BNB is and how it works
BNB is the native token of the Binance ecosystem: it pays gas on BNB Chain (including BSC) and can be used on Binance to discount fees and join programs such as Launchpool.
BNB Smart Chain uses Proof of Staked Authority with a limited validator set, giving fast blocks and low fees at the cost of less decentralization than Ethereum.
BNB supply and token economics
Initial supply was 200 million; quarterly Auto-Burn plus real-time gas burning keep reducing it toward a 100 million target.
What usually moves the price
It is closely tied to Binance’s business and regulatory situation, BNB Chain activity and holder benefits such as Launchpool.
These are commonly discussed factors, not a forecast; no single factor guarantees direction.
Where to buy BNB
BNB spot pairs are usually listed on large exchanges such as Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget and Gate, but pairs and availability depend on your region and account—check the official listing. Compare fees at the same volume, then check spread and slippage.
Key BNB risks
Ecosystem risk is concentrated around one company; on BSC, watch for fake token contracts and high-risk DeFi projects.
Only use money you can afford to lose entirely, and size positions and liquidation prices before using leverage.
