Strictly speaking, $BTC is disinflationary, not purely deflationary.
New coins are still being created, so the total supply is still growing (albeit very slowly; the current annual inflation rate is only ~0.82%). True deflation requires the supply to shrink.
$BNB is genuinely deflationary, more strictly so than Bitcoin.
No new coins are minted. Its supply was created at launch. There is zero ongoing issuance.
On top of this, active burning permanently destroys tokens, so the total supply keeps shrinking over time. The 36th quarterly burn on July 15, 2026 destroyed 1,615,828 BNB
BEP-95 real-time burn is less talked about. A fixed portion of every transaction’s gas fees is burned automatically in real time. This has already removed roughly 290,000+ since it started.
CZ 🔶 BNB (@cz_binance): Bitcoin surpassed 20.07 million coins mined as of August 2026, leaving only 4.4% more supply.
I’d estimate 10-20% of existing bitcoins are lost/stuck/unrecoverable. It’s a deflationary asset.
