• BNB Chain has completed a 1.37 million BNB token burn.
• The 34th quarterly burn sees total supply diminish to 136.36 million.
• BNB price hovered above $900 as the bulls look to target $1,000 next.

BNB Foundation announced on January 15, 2026, that BNB Chain has completed its first burn of the year, and the 34th quarterly burn overall.

The announcement came as BNB price hovered above $900 with fresh gains pushing the token up by nearly 8% over the past week.

BNB traded around $944 at the time of writing, just in the green on the day, as bulls targeted an upward continuation amid the latest BNB token burn.

A rally to $1,000 will strengthen a bullish outlook.

BNB Chain burns 1.37 million BNB

The successful completion of the 34th quarterly BNB token burn by BNB Chain marks the first burn of 2026, according to details BNB Foundation shared.

Burns of the token, currently the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market cap, continue the project’s longstanding deflationary strategy.

BNB Chain managed to permanently remove a total of 1,371,803.77 BNB from circulation.

The more than 1.37 million tokens account for BNB in two components: 1,371,703.67 BNB from the actual burn and 100.1 BNB in a pioneer burn. At the time of the burn, the destroyed tokens were worth about $1.27 billion.

Binance’s token burn utilises an Auto-Burn mechanism, which automatically calculates the amount based on BNB’s prevailing price and the number of blocks generated on BNB Smart Chain during the quarter.

“The BNB Auto-Burn provides an independently auditable, objective process. The figures are reported quarterly, and the mechanism is independent of the Binance centralized exchange,” the foundation wrote in a blog post.

Following the BNB Chain Fusion, quarterly burns now occur directly on BSC, with tokens sent to an irreversible “black hole” address.

BNB total supply falls to 136.36 million

BNB burns aim to gradually decrease the token’s total supply to 100 million BNB, with the latest cut leaving the total supply at roughly 136.36 million BNB.

In the market, a reduction to a token’s circulating supply often means enhanced scarcity and support for long-term value growth.

With BNB, regular burns towards 100 million tokens come amid rising network activity.

BNB Chain has witnessed notable milestones with upgrades and web3 applications, particularly as real-world assets come on-chain.

The price of BNB rose sharply in 2025 amid this growth, reaching an all-time high above $1,300.

Overall market sell-off, which also saw Bitcoin correct from a peak of $126,000, cascaded to BNB and saw its price fall to under $800. Gains mean the main target in the short term is a retest of $1,000 and the ATH.

• London Stock Exchange has launched Digital Settlement House.
• DiSH is a platform for post-trade settlement with 24/7 tokenized commercial bank deposits.
• LSE has welcomed multiple crypto ETPs, the latest a Bitcoin and Gold ETP by 21Shares.

London Stock Exchange Group has announced the launch of its digital settlement hub, a blockchain platform designed to offer 24/7 settlement for tokenized commercial bank deposits.

The LSEG officially unveiled the Digital Settlement House (LSEG DiSH) platform via a press release on Thursday, January 15, 2026.

DiSH is a blockchain-enabled platform that will offer instantaneous and around-the-clock settlements for both on-chain and off-chain payment networks.

Big move for LSEG

According to LSEG, the innovative service bridges traditional finance and digital asset ecosystems, with real-time Payment-versus-Payment (PvP) and Delivery-versus-Payment (DvP) transactions.

DiSH will support multiple currencies and jurisdictions, with these capabilities available on open-access under the London Stock Exchange Group’s Post Trade Solutions division.

“LSEG DiSH expands the tokenised cash and cash-like solutions available to the market, and for the first time, offers a real cash solution tokenised on the blockchain utilising cash in multiple currencies held at commercial banks,” said Daniel Maguire, group head of LSEG Markets and chief executive officer of LCH Group.

Maguire added that the service brings benefits such as reduced settlement risk and integration of existing cash, securities and digital assets into the current market infrastructure.

Institutional adoption of blockchain solutions

Global financial markets continue to see institutions eyeing blockchain solutions for efficient, resilient, and interoperable post-trade processes.

The introduction of LSEG DiSH adds to this momentum, with this set to address challenges such as delayed settlements, fragmented liquidity, and limited operating hours.

LSEG wants to be at the forefront of the evolving tokenized economy, with broader adoption of digital assets ramping up amid regulatory milestones.

DiSH Cash offers additional features, including dynamic intraday borrowing and lending tools.

Users can also tap into optimized liquidity management, synchronized settlement processes, reduced timelines, and enhanced collateral availability.

LSEG’s launch of the platform builds on a successful Proof of Concept (PoC) conducted in collaboration with Digital Asset and a consortium of leading financial institutions.

The PoC was executed on the Canton Network.

Earlier moves, including the announcement of a blockchain trading platform in 2023.

In September 2025, LSEG unveiled Digital Markets Infrastructure, a platform for private funds powered by Microsoft Azure.

DMI delivers a blockchain-powered solution that taps into the benefits of scalability and efficiency to bolster asset issuance, tokenisation and distribution.

This also includes post-trade asset settlement and servicing, with usage and support cutting across multiple asset classes.

Post Trade Solutions recently received strategic investment from 11 major global banks as integration of traditional and digital finance gains traction.

Crypto ETPs launch on LSE

Recently, the London Stock Exchange listed the 21shares Bitcoin Gold ETP (BOLD), a new crypto exchange-traded product that adds to the rising number of crypto ETPs on stock exchanges.

Other firms, including Bitwise, have also expanded access to digital asset investment products via LSE listings.

Regulatory approval from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority is among the key developments boosting adoption.

• Decred price jumped over 40% in the past 24 hours to hit highs of $29.
• Several privacy coins are rallying.
• The approval of a proposal seeking to cap treasury expenditure has also catalysed gains.

Decred (DCR) is outpacing other altcoins over the past 24 hours, with bulls exploding nearly 40% to highs of $29 as the privacy coin narrative ignites broader gains.

The token’s upside momentum also comes after stakeholders overwhelmingly approved DCP-0013, a proposal to impose a strict spending cap on Decred’s decentralised treasury.

Gains amid this governance milestone, privacy coins rally and risk-on sentiment could drive DCR price higher.

Decred price gains as stakeholders approve DCP-0013 proposal

The Decred cryptocurrency is a layer 1 DAO project known for its innovative hybrid consensus mechanism and strong emphasis on community-driven governance.

Supply is capped at 21 million, and over 82% of DCR is already mined. Supply dwindles every three weeks.

Decred features a privacy mixnet and builds on Bitcoin’s blockchain model with on-chain governance and sustainable funding.

While price is up amid gains for top privacy coins like Dash and Monero, Decred is also seeing notable momentum as the community signals a commitment to fiscal discipline and long-term sustainability.

That’s what the approval of DCP-0013, which allows for capping of treasury spending, shows.

Activation of the proposal will introduce monthly limits to treasury spending at 4% of available funds.

Over 99% of the vote approved the upcoming implementation, a decisive outcome that has bolstered market sentiment.

Privacy coins rally boosts DCR price

Decred’s DCR token traded in a relatively narrow $11–$17 range from March through early November 2025, before surging to a yearly high of $44 as privacy-focused cryptocurrencies moved sharply higher.

The rally was followed by a steep correction driven by profit-taking and broader macroeconomic pressures, with prices sliding to lows of $14 on December 24.

A rebound in early 2026 has seen renewed interest in privacy coins, lifting Decred to intraday highs of $29.

The token is up about 75% over the past week, in line with a wider rally across the privacy-coin segment.

As a project that incorporates privacy-enhancing elements through its architecture and governance, Decred benefits from this sector-wide enthusiasm.

Privacy coins gaining traction could catapult Decred above $50, with the main target in the short term being $100.

Zcash has gained a lot of attention, but Decred bulls think DCR will outperform amid its “staying power.”

Monero (XMR) has broken to highs of $700, Dash (DASH) has led weekly top performers and is above $80, while Zcash (ZEC) has touched the key level of $450.
