Whopping 2 Billion BUSD by Binance

According to a recent Binance tweet today, the exchange intended to move an astounding lump of its BUSD stablecoin to a dead wallet. Two billion of these tokens will be burned or have been burned already.

Paxos is a regulated issuer that has been minting BUSD since 2019 — for more than three years now. By now, the NYDFS regulator of New York has ordered Paxos to stop minting BUSD.
