BNB is the native token of Binance exchange and was issued as an ERC-20 token following its ICO in 2017. The coin is primarily used to pay trading fees on the platform at lower rates and with other partner apps within the Binance ecosystem.
The exchange is planning to build a DEx (Binance Chain) that will be powered by the BNB coin. There are currently 200 million BNB coins and Binance will buy and burn the BNBs until there are only 100 million BNB left in circulation.
Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao talked about being listed on eToro
“With this addition, the Binance coin can reach millions of more people, many of whom are more accustomed to the traditional financial industry. As a utility token, we believe in creating long-term utility and value. We will continue to do so together with eToro.”
