Real Examples

Binance has its native coin known as BNB which allows users to pay different fees on Binance exchange i.e. listing fees, trading or withdrawal fees, margin and other fees. If the user wishes to use BNB for payments he/she will get a discount of 50% in first here. Binance has made a clear declaration about discounts:

• 1st Year – 50%
• 2nd Year – 25%
• 3rd Year – 12.5%
• 4th Year – 6.75%
• 5th Year – no discount

Fundamental Analysis

Binance has significant discounts for the users who are using BNB for making payments on Binance exchange. Even the percentage of discount will be decreasing every year but still, it’s a huge incentive for traders. Every passing day traders are increasing on Binance exchange and so the amount traded as well.

Technical Analysis

One most noticeable part of BNB is its plan of repurchasing the token and then burning them. According to whitepaper every quarter Binance will user 20% of profit to repurchase the BNB back from the market and then destroy them.  They will keep using 20% until 50% of BNB are bought back. They have made it clear that all transactions will be declared on blockchain for transparency purposes. So, in total, 100 million BNB will be destroyed and 100BNB will be left in the market.
