Fourth BEST token burn: Most BEST burnt so far!

Read this in German, French, Spanish, Turkish and Italian.

Today, we had our fourth BEST token burn and destroyed a record number of 28,309,516 BEST - the equivalent of €2,462,928! In our previous BEST burn that took place on the 30th of July, 2020, we burned the equivalent of €1,476,188 in BEST! These burn events will continue every quarter until 50% of the total tokens are destroyed. In this blog post, Bitpanda CEO Paul Klanschek gives some insights on the burn and some of our exciting BEST features that have been released and are coming up.

Dear Bitpanda community,

Staying true to Bitpanda’s vision paper promise, we have facilitated quarterly burns on the last Thursday of the burn month and will continue to do so until 50% of the total BEST supply is destroyed. Today marks the fourth ever BEST burn and I’d like to take a moment to thank all our valued and loyal users who claim their BEST rewards each month and use our BEST token to save on trading premiums! We’re always happy to see BEST adoption on the rise.

For this burn event, we burned more than 25% of the BEST used for trading premiums in the time between the 30th of July, 2020 and today.

As you may know, token burns are part of the overall strategy for BEST as we permanently destroy the BEST token collected from users who use it to pay for trading premiums on Bitpanda. Below, you can find all the information regarding the fourth BEST burn, including the total supply and the burn transaction.
