Justin Sun, Tron CEO confirms nearly 4.9 bln “TRX ERC20 token were burnt”

Justin Sun, the CEO of the Tron Foundation has tweeted that this time 5th batch of nearly 4.9 billion tokens was burnt. The number of coins burnt is, indeed, massive and the burning process initiated after the launching of Mainnet on 25th June. The team has asserted that the token burning procedure is the ultimate step of migration from Ethereum to Tron. The 1st batch included the burning of 1 billion TRX ERC2o tokens by the Foundation that had a total worth of almost $50 million. The fundamental purpose of conducting this procedure is bringing the coin in circulation under proper control such that the price eventually surges up. According to the Foundation, coin burning procedure would foster equitable distribution of digital currencies. On the completion of the Mainnet launch, a number of cryptocurrency exchanges came forward to support the foundation.
