OKX will burn 279 million OKB tokens forever
Following this massive burn, OKB’s total supply concluded with 21 million tokens. This is considered an important step in OKX’s long-term supply management strategy. Token Burns generally aims to have a positive impact on market value by reducing total supply.
OKB is the native ecosystem token for OKX Exchange, offering reduced trading fees, access to exclusive investment opportunities, and the benefits of a variety of platforms. A reduction in supply could increase the relative share of existing token holders and increase in prices.
OKX previously had regular buyback and burn programs, but today’s trading volume is impressive in terms of size. The development resonates strongly within the crypto community, with investors closely monitoring market responses.
Experts point out that a limited supply model can support OKB value in the long run, but market conditions and overall crypto trends directly affect this process.
