Binance Coin (BNB) saw its 15th burn to date on Friday. According to on-chain data, Binance burned nearly $600 million worth of BNB tokens.
Historically, Binance has burned around 20% of the exchange’s profits. But in the last burn, Binance burned much more than 20%, and the exact percentage of the burn remains uncertain.
Sourse: Record $600M BNB burn suggests Binance made $750M in profit in Q1 (https://cointelegraph.com/news/record-600m-bnb-burn-suggests-binance-made-750m-in-profit-in-q1)
It is normal for Binance to burn BNB on a quarterly basis, but when they increased the token burn rate from 20% to 80% at this time, it caused me much confusion.
+ Is Binance looking to push BNB price higher to quickly reach the capitalization of ETH?
+ Is this a way for Binance to promote the BSC exchange and ecosystem in the context of Ethereum congestion and Cardano is not ready to serve smart contracts?
+ Is this a stepping stone for Binance to get the attention before entering the stock market like Coinbase?
According to BNB/BTC chart, BNB price only goes through wave 3 in a short cycle. I believe this event will bring BNB price to 0.0155 BTC after the minor correction is over.

What do you think about this issue? Is everything just a coincidence when CZ decided to burn more than 1M BNB instead of 250K BNB? And can BNB price reach 0.0155 BTC soon?
