YZi Labs report: Approximately 67% of BNB is held by the public, and Zhao Changpeng's holdings are below 1%

ChainCatcher news, YZi Labs released a long article titled "BNB: The Core Engine of the Global Web3 Economy," which mentions that approximately two-thirds of the BNB supply is held by non-affiliated public holders (on exchanges and self-custody), while Zhao Changpeng's personal BNB holdings account for less than 1% of the total. Binance's BNB treasury holds about 4 to 5% of the circulating total. About 27% of the circulating total is held by the BNB Foundation and is isolated for programmatic destruction (not for sale) ------ this is a transparent on-chain mechanism that strengthens the deflationary design of BNB over time.

BNB adopts a programmatic self-balancing mechanism. Its supply cap is 100 million coins, managed by two complementary mechanisms ------ automatic burning and BEP-95 ------ which have permanently destroyed over 64 million BNB, accounting for more than 31.8% of the historical supply. Based on the price of BNB at approximately $1115 on October 26, 2025, this means that BNB worth about $72 billion has been destroyed.

The article also mentions that Zhao Changpeng's recent pardon has sent a strong positive signal to the market, creating an excellent opportunity for the promotion and application of BNB in North America and globally.
