As one of the world&rsquo;s most popular utility tokens, not only can you buy or sell&nbsp;<strong>BNB</strong>&nbsp;like any other cryptocurrency, but BNB comes with a wide range of applications and benefits.</p>

Since then, BNB has retained a role in Binance&rsquo;s growing ecosystem as Binance has expanded into more than a digital asset exchange.</p>

<p id="just-like-other-evolving-cryptocurrencies-the-binance-coin-offers-several-uses-that-go-beyond-the-binance-exchange-such-as">Just like other evolving cryptocurrencies, the Binance Coin offers several uses that go beyond the Binance exchange, such as</p>
<ul>
<li>Trading: Binance Coin can be traded for other cryptocurrencies on various exchanges, depending on the restrictions set by the exchange.</li>
<li>Transaction fees on the Binance Exchange: BNB can be used to pay for transactions on the Binance Exchange, and users also receive a discount for doing so.</li>
<li>Credit card payments: BNB can be the form of payment for crypto credit card bills on Crypto.com.</li>
<li>Payment processing: Merchants can offer BNB as a means of payment for customers, offering more flexibility in payment methods.</li>
<li>Booking travel arrangements: BNB can be used to book hotels and flights on select websites.</li>
<li>Entertainment: From paying for virtual gifts to buying lottery tickets, BNB serves several purposes in the entertainment space.</li>
<li>Investment: Several platforms allow investors to invest in stocks, ETFs, and other assets using Binance Coin.</li>
<li>Loans and transfers: BNB can be used as collateral for loans on certain platforms. Also, there are apps that allow users to split bills and pay friends and family through Binance Coin.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="how-to-buy-binance-coin" class="has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color">How to buy<em>&nbsp;</em>Binance Coin?</h1>
<p>BNB can be purchased at crypto exchanges such as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.binance.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Binance</strong></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://en.bithumb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bithumb</strong></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kucoin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>KuCoin</strong></a>,&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://ftx.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>FTX</strong></a>. But, as BNB is the native asset of the Binance exchange, several competitors have not listed the coin on their platforms.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coinbase.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Coinbase</strong></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.huobi.com/en-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Huobi</strong></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bitfinex.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bitfinex</strong></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bitstamp.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bitstamp</strong></a>,&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kraken.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kraken</strong></a>, among others, don&rsquo;t offer BNB trading.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Binance Coin is also the native blockchain asset of the Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain (BSC), decentralized exchanges (DEX) like&nbsp;<a href="https://pancakeswap.finance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>PancakeSwap</strong></a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bakeryswap.org/#/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>BakerySwap</strong></a>&nbsp;running on the BSC offer BNB swaps to other BSC-based tokens. Solely Ethereum-based DEXs like&nbsp;<a href="https://uniswap.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Uniswap</strong></a>&nbsp;don&rsquo;t support BNB swaps on their protocols, as BNB is an asset that is foreign to Ethereum&rsquo;s blockchain. Other DEXs such as&nbsp;<a href="https://app.sushi.com/swap" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>SushiSwap</strong></a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://app.1inch.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>1inch</strong></a>, which previously were Ethereum-only services, have switched to a multi-chain approach. They now offer their services on the Binance Smart Chain as well and allow for BNB swaps as long as users are connected to the protocol with a Binance Smart Chain wallet.</p>

<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2880 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph"><strong>Binance Exchange</strong></p>
<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2880 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph">Most crypto exchanges charge trading fees based on a small percentage of total trade size. Binance was the first to offer discounts on these trading fees if they were paid in the native exchange token. The discount started at 50% for the first year getting reduced to 25% in the second, 12.5% in the third and finally 6.75% in the fourth before being eliminated entirely. These discounts are at the sole discretion of Binance and could be altered at any time.</p>
<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2880 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph"><strong>Launchpad</strong></p>
<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2880 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph">As a $2of the ICO, Binance first popularized the $2 when they announced in January 2019 that they would be selling tokens directly through the exchange every month. Initially, the sales were done on a first come first serve basis. They since pivoted to a lottery system where users can claim tickets based on the number of BNB tokens held over the prior 20 days. The tickets represent a certain allocation of tokens and are drawn randomly. If selected, the user is committed to purchasing that number of tokens at the listed price.</p>
<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2880 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph"><strong>Binance Chain</strong></p>
<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2880 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph">BNB acts as the native token used as gas to pay for network transactions on Binance Chain, a high-performance blockchain network. It initially operates with a small pre-selected validator set, but the plan is to transition to a $2 consensus mechanism where users can vote using their BNB for delegates that will validate blocks to secure the network. There is also a built-in governance module to let BNB holders submit proposals by depositing tokens which are then voted on.</p>

<div class="MuiBox-root jss2897 jss2881">
<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2880 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph">Binance pre-mined 200 million Binance Coins prior to the public sale. Binance Coin&rsquo;s distribution process had three phases: allocation to founders, allocation to investors, and a public sale.</p>
<ul>
<li>Founders received 80 million BNB (40% of supply) vested over four years. Half of the founders&rsquo; allocation was vested immediately. The other half is vested annually through 2021. From Q2 2019, these tokens will be burnt through quarterly burns and will thus remain illiquid until they are burnt. Binance plans to burn 100 million BNB (50% of supply) over time and has successfully executed nine coin burns to date.</li>
<li>Investors receive 20 million BNB (10% of supply) with no vesting or lock-up restrictions.</li>
<li>The public sale distributed 100 million BNB (50% of supply). Binance launched the ERC-20 Binance Coin in a public sale on July 14, 2017. Half of the funds raised through Binance&rsquo;s coin offering were intended for Binance branding and marketing, and roughly one-third of the funds were for platform upgrades and development.</li>
</ul>
<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2880 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph">Binance executed the token swap from ERC-20 BNB tokens to Binance chain mainnet BNB coins on April 23, 2019. Binance Coins native to the Binance chain are called BEP2 BNB. Pre-selected validators produced blocks after the genesis block on April 18, 2019, and the first ERC-20 to BEP2 BNB swap of 5 million BNB was executed to a wallet belonging to Binance.</p>

Nevertheless, in April 2019, Binance <a class="MuiTypography-root MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineHover MuiTypography-colorPrimary" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-updates-white-paper-to-reword-section-on-quarterly-manipulations-with-bnb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">edited the white paper&rsquo;s section</a> devoted to quarterly repurchasing plans to replace it with a section on quarterly burn plans.

As a result, the team allocation, that was initially supposed to be vesting for 4 years, will remain illiquid until all 80,000,000 BNB have been burnt. This reduces BNB's liquid supply, as these tokens are no longer liquid, but it also reduces the potential liquid supply inflation rate that would have occurred through the vesting of those tokens.</p>

<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2074 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph">Binance Coin was originally launched as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum until April 2019. Binance converted all ERC-20 BNB tokens to Binance chain BNB coins a couple days after the Binance chain mainnet launched.

<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2074 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph">Binance&rsquo;s decentralized exchange (DEX) is built on the Binance blockchain using Tendermint and the Cosmos Software Developer Kit (SDK).

<p class="MuiTypography-root jss2074 MuiTypography-body2 MuiTypography-paragraph">Binance chain source code is currently not open source for competitiveness reasons, according to Binance.

This Week on Crypto Twitter: NBA Stars Buy Bitcoin, Vitalik Welcomes Trolls, FWB DAO Ejects a Co-Founder

<div class="content-inner ">
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This man Jack Mallers has a way of finding himself in the middle of historic transactions. This time, the Strike CEO used the recently unveiled Twitter Tips Lightning integration to send $10 instantly to San Salvador. The person at the other end of the line then uses the money to buy coffee in a little-known independent coffee shop. We’re witnessing the fusion of one of the biggest social networks in the world with Bitcoin’s open monetary network.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“In the above demo, I sent a $10 tip from my house in Chicago, USA to my friend David in San Salvador, El Salvador. The payment settled instantly for no fee. The singular, open, monetary network that allowed me to send an instant, free, cross-border payment to David is the same singular, open monetary network that allowed David to immediately use that money to buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks as soon as he got the Twitter notification that I had sent him money.”</span></p>

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The previous time Jack Mallers found himself in the middle of a historic transaction</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Strike’s CEO </span><a href="https://bitcoinist.com/watch-jack-mallers-send-free-instant-non-reversible-10-to-nigeria/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">sent $10 to Nigeria,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> he described that other transaction in terms that also apply to today’s historic transaction.&nbsp;</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you don’t see how huge this is, think about it as Jack Mallers does. He “didn’t have to register the transfer through a financial intermediary such as Western Union, request private banking details of Bernard Parah, or wait days for the payment to settle.” On the other side, Bernard “didn’t owe any intermediary a percentage of the transaction, the payment wasn’t reversible and settled instantly.”</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bernard Parah’s Bitnob and Strike are interoperable because they both joined the Bitcoin and Lightning open monetary network. And now, Twitter and its millions of users joined both of those companies and the network. This is immense.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, the previous time Jack Mallers proclaimed, “</span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, Strike became the best remittance option from the US to Nigeria without even trying</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">.” This time, he feels even more confident:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Twitter’s integration with the Strike API turns Twitter into one of the best remittance experiences in the world, one of the greatest global creator marketplaces in the world, one of the greatest global payment experiences in the world, one of the best global micropayment marketplaces in the world, and allows an internet communications company to interoperate with the monetary standard for the world, enabling global payments for their users.”</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boom!</span></p>

Watch Jack Mallers Send $10 To El Salvador Via Twitter’s Lightning Tips

<p>Jack Dorsey, the <a href="https://decrypt.co/78391/why-does-jack-dorsey-hate-ethereum" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">Bitcoin maximalist</a> CEO of Twitter, put his money where his mouth is this week. His company rolled out "<a href="https://decrypt.co/81731/twitter-bitcoin-tipping-nft-avatars" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">Bitcoin tipping</a>" to its 300 million active users, a service that will let anyone send or receive Bitcoin by sharing a wallet address or using an app called <a href="https://decrypt.co/73845/el-salvadors-u-s-bitcoin-partner-lacks-key-licenses" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">Strike</a>. And to top if off, Twitter also announced a plan to let users connect their Bitcoin wallets to <a href="https://decrypt.co/resources/non-fungible-tokens-nfts-explained-guide-learn-blockchain" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">NFTs</a> tied to their identity.</p>
<p>Where to begin? For starters, this might be the most mainstream moment in Bitcoin's history. That's because Twitter isn't just a mega social media platform used by political and sports divs, but also a major force in media that helps drive the news of the day. Tying crypto payments to all this could spur tens of millions of people to use Bitcoin for the first time.</p><div class="pa-global-class pa-pl-16409 pa-pl-multiInsert" id="pa-container-1" style="z-index: 50; background: transparent; max-width: 166%; display: block; position: relative; width: 166%; pointer-events: none;"><div class="pa-unit-global pa-pl-16409" id="pa-unit-1" style="z-index: 1; height: 0px; background: transparent; position: relative;"><div class="pa-observer-px" style="height: 0px; width: 100%; background: transparent; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; pointer-events: none;"></div></div></div>
<p>The Bitcoin integration means Twitter has already done something other tech giants could not: Build a borderless payment system right into its app. You may recall Facebook sought to do that three years ago with a new type of stablecoin called Libra, but regulators <a href="https://decrypt.co/78891/facebook-crypto-wallet-is-ready-market-is-market-ready-novi" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">all but killed the plan</a>. Twitter is more likely to avoid that fate since it doesn't wield Facebook's monopoly power and because it is relying on an existing global currency—Bitcoin—rather than trying to mint its own money.</p>
<p>Bitcoin tipping also coincides with the launch of a number of other new (non-crypto) Twitter products, including newsletters and a live forum called Spaces, that are designed to let artists and creators connect directly with their audiences. In practice, this means that a comedian in Mexico could perform on Twitter and instantly receive tips from people in Madrid, Buenos Aires and New York. The company has even set up an invoicing system.</p>
<p>The world has been waiting for something like this. For decades, media and culture have been borderless, but payments have not. Sure, we've been able to use credit cards (and crypto) internationally, but there's still no easy one-click tool plugged directly into the apps we use every day. Twitter's Bitcoin tipping feature could change that, and also spur the likes of YouTube, TikTok, and others to follow suit. Meanwhile, adding NFTs as a form of identification, as Twitter has pledged to do, could help <a href="https://decrypt.co/79071/cryptopunks-bored-apes-nft-avatar-trend-is-about-community-building" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">make crypto communities</a> even more mainstream.</p>
<p>If people use the features.</p>
<span class="" style="display:inline-block"></span>
<p>First, Dorsey has to show he can pull this off. And that's an open question. Twitter delighted cryptoland by launching Bitcoin tipping—you can see how it works <a href="https://twitter.com/Twitter/status/1441085130487975952" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">here</a>—but that doesn't mean it's going to work as planned. For one thing, the reliance on Strike could mean trouble, since the app and its obnoxious founder <a href="https://decrypt.co/73845/el-salvadors-u-s-bitcoin-partner-lacks-key-licenses" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">don't appear ready</a> to deal with the regulatory issues that go along with launching a global payment network. Strike was also the partner for the El Salvador government's <a href="https://decrypt.co/80436/el-salvador-forced-through-bitcoin-law-any-means-necessary" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">bumpy Bitcoin rollout</a>. And speaking of governments, the tax rules surrounding Bitcoin remain a mess, especially in the U.S., and it's possible that those who use Twitter tipping will find themselves with an unpleasant surprise come tax time—something that will certainly chill adoption.</p>
<p>Then there is Dorsey's decision to embrace Bitcoin and Bitcoin alone. This has already ruffled the feathers of Ethereum fans, and led <i>Decrypt</i>'s founder Josh Quittner to wonder if Dorsey excluded Ethereum over fears it would threaten Twitter's centralized platform. Whatever his motives, Dorsey's Bitcoin-only path will create political opposition from DeFi diehards the project could really use on its side.</p>
<p>Then, there are the practical problems with Twitters's plan, especially when it comes to NFTs. The company says it will let users display NFT-based badges that are tied to their wallets, but the Bitcoin blockchain doesn't appear up to this task, and Twitter refuses to explain how exactly this will work. Never a good sign.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that Twitter's Bitcoin initiative is full of promise, but fraught with peril. Hey, let's not judge just yet—the company has just pushed forward with a Bitcoin feat the world has never seen before, and for that it deserves kudos. Have a great weekend.</p>

Bitcoin on Twitter: The Promise and the Problems

<div class="sc-ktzkjh-0 hIxHRr"><h4 color="#333" class="sc-1t633a1-4 PUmZU">In brief</h4><ul>
<li>Michael Burry once held around 5% of all GameStop shares.</li>
<li>He sold his position before the meme stock hit all-time highs above $400.</li>
<li>In January, he called for the SEC to regulate what he saw as "unnatural" trading.</li>
</ul><div class="sc-zni0p2-0 ggVtwx"></div></div><p><span style="font-weight:400">One of the biggest players in the GameStop saga is being drawn into an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Michael Burry, head of investment firm Scion Asset Management, tweeted today that the firm has received a subpoena from the SEC. A scanned copy of the letter shows that it relates to GameStop Corp. and was issued on September 21. The tweet has since been deleted.</span></p><div class="pa-global-class pa-pl-16409 pa-pl-multiInsert" id="pa-container-1" style="z-index: 50; background: transparent; max-width: 166%; display: block; position: relative; width: 166%; pointer-events: none;"><div class="pa-unit-global pa-pl-16409" id="pa-unit-1" style="z-index: 1; height: 0px; background: transparent; position: relative;"><div class="pa-observer-px" style="height: 0px; width: 100%; background: transparent; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; pointer-events: none;"></div></div></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Burry owned more than 5% of GameStop stock last year before </span><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoinegara/2021/02/16/michael-burry-the-hedge-fund-genius-who-started-gamestops-4000-rise-sold-before-its-reddit-surge/?sh=786678af6359" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO"><span style="font-weight:400">selling 1.7 million shares</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> in the fourth quarter for between $10 and $20. By January GME shares were trading for over $400; they currently sell for $185 on the New York Stock Exchange.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">GME's rise was facilitated by an army of amateur day traders and a handful of anonymous Wall Street veterans, who poured into online forums like WallStreetBets to coordinate stock picks. It was the first meme stock, an asset without intrinsic value which is traded for its cultural cachet. Other companies in decline, among them theater company AMC and 2000s throwback BlackBerry, have also found fresh money this year as meme stocks.</span></p>
<div class="sc-155ftbs-0 sc-155ftbs-1 eAya-DO jpxtSH"><div class="sc-155ftbs-2 ccosHo"><div class="sc-155ftbs-3 jcayOL"><a href="/81076/what-robinhood-gamestop-taught-us-bitcoin-billionaires-author-ben-mezrich" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 vsGFO" style="width: 100%;"></a></div></div></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Meme stocks are close relatives to meme tokens and coins, cryptocurrencies that lack much in the way of utility but can be traded for half-ironic LOLs—and sometimes for big money, if holders can convince others to join in.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400"><span class="link"><a href="https://decrypt.co/resources/dogecoin-crypto-cryptocurrency-guide-how-to-buy-doge" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">Dogecoin</a></span>, launched as a joke nearly a decade ago, is the preeminent meme coin with a market cap of $27 billion. The more recent Shiba Inu, which borrows DOGE's dog-based iconography, has a market cap of $3.6 billion. It recently began trading on <span class="link"><a href="https://decrypt.co/46690/coinbase-review-a-great-jumping-on-point-for-bitcoin-beginners" target="_blank" class="sc-18vyx5u-0 hiPYeO">Coinbase</a></span>, which has found itself in competition with mobile trading app Robinhood—where many if not most GameStop and Dogecoin speculators plied their trade early in 2021.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Robinhood's participation in GameStop's rise was contentious. At one point, as GME's price tag was rising, Robinhood restricted users from buying more GME. Users were upset they couldn't buy more, while politicians from progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to arch-conservative Ted Cruz suggested a hearing was necessary to determine whether the app was picking winners and losers. Others in government worried that GameStop's surge was a sign of market manipulation, as everyday investors were perhaps being duped by more powerful forces behind the scene—just like crypto pump-and-dump schemes on Telegram.</span></p>
