OK Blockchain Foundation Launches Eighth and Largest Round of Buy-Back and Burn of OKB, the World’s First Fully Circulating Platform Token
OKEx (www.okex.com), the world’s largest cryptocurrency spot and derivatives exchange, announces that OKB Blockchain Foundation, the issuer of OKB, has launched its eighth and largest buy-back and burn of OKB tokens. From the period between March 1 and May 31, a total of 3,509,874.52 OKB was bought back and burned (equivalent to USD $19,000,000, as per OKB price on June 2, 2020). This represents a $1 million increase from the previous period.
OKB Buy-Back and Burn Initiative
The OK Blockchain Foundation launched the OKB buy-back and burn initiative on May 4, 2019, for the then-circulating supply of 300 million OKB. The goals of buy-back and burn are not to influence the token price but to foster the sustainability of the OKB ecosystem and further the use cases for OKB, therefore benefitting its holders.
As of today, after the eighth round of OKB being sent to a black-hole address to burn, a total of 20,671,583.58 OKB has been burned. The current circulation of OKB is 279,328,416.42.
After the launch of OKChain testnet in February 2020, the 700 million unissued OKB tokens were also burned and the decision was taken to issue no further tokens in the future. This converted the OKB token into a fully deflationary token as well as the world’s first fully circulating platform token.
Benefits for OKB Users
In order to provide maximum benefits to OKB users, there has been a heavy focus on furthering partnerships and adoption of OKB not only on the OKEx platform but also with global ecological partners. The OKB ecosystem continues to expand, bringing advantages to OKB users in many new and exciting ways.
Updates on OKChain
Since its launch in February of this year, rapid progress has been made on OKChain and the OKChain testnet has recently been updated to version 0.10. This new version optimizes the voting mechanism for ecological nodes and has also kickstarted global recruitment for supernodes. OKB holders will enjoy 100% genesis blocks mapping of the native token of OKChain (OKT) upon launch of the mainnet.
OKT fuels the OKChain ecosystem and its users can operate as validators and supernodes and act as voting proxies. OKB holders can also become supernodes in the OKChain ecosystem with greater voting rights over the chain’s development as well as the ability to issue their own DEX and list trading pairs.
The first batch of OKChain’s alliances includes public chains, browsers, wallets, and mining pools, and OKChain users can enjoy first-class services offered by OKChain’s top global partners.
More Privileges on the OKEx Platform and Beyond
OKB holders now have increasingly more privileges on the OKEx platform and beyond. Currently, OKB holders can benefit from 14 internal preferential options when trading, including trading fee discounts, the opportunity to invest in promising blockchain assets through OKEx Jumpstart, the chance to earn a passive income with OKB Savings, and payment options at designated merchants.
To meet the increasing demands of its users and continue to develop the OKB ecosystem, OKB has been expanding its trading channels worldwide. These include C2C Trading Pairs (OKB supports many mainstream fiat currencies, including USD, Euro, Korean Won, Vietnam Dong, Indonesia Rupiah and Ruble), and spot trading of OKB on more than 50 exchanges including Bitfinex and BitMEX. These trading channels will continue to expand to benefit OKB holders.
OKB has also developed 50 application scenarios worldwide from payments, loans and financial management, to tourism, life services, social networking, and entertainment. OKB holders can enjoy multiple high-quality services from mortgage lending to hotel reservations, and security services using OKB.

GoMining Reveals Cutting-Edge North NFT Collection
Leveraging its vast experience since 2017, GoMining is leading the way in bitcoin mining, providing users with an effortless and user-friendly service. Now the company has introduced the so-called North Collection.
The company’s NFT collections provide daily bitcoin rewards to holders, with their substantial fleet of real equipment installed across the globe. Continuing their successful streak after the highly acclaimed East NFT Collection, this latest release marks the next installment in a series of crypto art devoted to various regions. GoMining’s fresh North NFT Collection draws inspiration from three key references: the critical role of low temperatures in mining device operations, the restraint and resilience found in northern regions, and the empowering force driving their endeavors. These references served as the foundation for the collection’s captivating images, reflecting the core principles behind GoMining’s innovative approach to bitcoin mining.
GoMining’s new NFT series is issued on the Binance Smart Chain, utilizing the BEP-20 standard for seamless integration and accessibility. With an impressive energy efficiency rating of 35 W/TH, these NFTs ensure the quickest payback period for holders. Moreover, the NFTs offer a diverse range of computing power options, spanning from 1 to 128 TH/s, accommodating various mining requirements and preferences.
In just over two years, GoMining has achieved remarkable growth. The platform has distributed more than 2,000 BTC to holders, issued 20,000 NFTs, and elevated its overall hash power from 100,000 TH/s to an astounding 2,359,877 TH/s. This exponential progress showcases the project’s resounding success and commitment to innovation in the cryptocurrency and NFT space.
As per GoMining’s CEO Mark Zalan, the company is doing everything to offer a broad variety of options to its holders, proving its sustainability and transparent approach. “We’ve been in operation for over two years providing consistent rewards for our holders daily. All of our efforts are aimed at showing tangible infrastructure behind the product – in this case real equipment with data centers in different regions like Norway.”
GoMining remains dedicated to introducing updated versions of its NFTs, originally crafted to provide easier access to bitcoin mining. All NFT collections, such as the renowned collaboration with MMA star Khabib Nurmagomedov, combine visually stunning designs with real equipment-generated computing power, offering continuous mining rewards to their owners.

New study reveals the cryptocoins that the US wants to sell the most
A new study has revealed the cryptocoins Americans want to sell the most, with Bitcoin taking the top spot.
The research was conducted by crypto gambling experts at cryptogambling.tv, who analyzed Google Trends data to establish the cryptocurrencies the US wants to sell the most out of the 24 largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, giving an average weekly search volume for the interest in selling each cryptocoin.
The study revealed that Bitcoin has the highest number of searches from Americans looking to sell this cryptocurrency. Searches to ‘sell bitcoin’ were the highest at the end of July in the United States and worldwide.
Many factors might sway someone to sell their Bitcoin, with the main reason being the current financial and economic strain many countries in the world are facing, prompting people to tap out and cut their losses. Last year the price of the cryptocoin dropped below $16,000, which highlights its downfall tremendously, and with Bitcoin’s value being based purely on speculation, it can be challenging for those who don’t know whether or not to stick with it.
Ethereum is the second cryptocoin Americans want to sell the most, with searches for ‘sell Ethereum’ being the highest in September worldwide. Although the currency is known for owning around 20% of the global crypto market, those wanting to invest tend to agree that it is one of the safest long-term coins. The current price of Ethereum is $1,458, and with the cryptocoin shifting its process from PoW to PoS, it’s predicted its supply may reduce.
XRP is the third cryptocoin Americans want to sell the most, as it is predicted that its price will be near $0.198 by the end of this year. XRP runs by RippleNet and is a low-cost coin which is excellent for those who want to begin investing; however, due to the current lawsuit proceedings with the SEC, there is a significant decrease in interest for the currency, which has undoubtedly urged investors to act fast and sell.
The fourth cryptocoin Americans want to sell the most is Dogecoin, which, although it has remained one of the top cryptocurrencies in the industry, is still not a solid investment for many investors. The coin rose over 15,000% over 2021, and for a cryptocoin which was created as a joke when it first began, it has truly exceeded expectations. Many avoid investing in Dogecoin due to its price volatility, no supply limit, and not being as widely accepted as other competing coins; these are reasons why many also want to sell.
Shiba Inu is the fifth cryptocoin that Americans are looking to sell, and while the coin is top-rated, it is advised that those looking to invest should not use it as a long-term investment. The coin is down almost 92% since 2021, but many investors hope it will still go up in time as it is currently at over 589 trillion.
An expert at cryptogambling.tv commented: “The cryptocurrency market is forever fluctuating, and with the increase in economic stress worldwide, it can be an uncertain and nerve-racking time for those hoping to make sound investments in the crypto world.
“This study offers an interesting insight into which cryptocoins Americans currently want to sell, with Bitcoin being the most popular to sell.”
