The Seychelles-registered cryptocurrency exchange OKX completed its 21 quarterly round of burning amounts of its native token.
It sent more than 6.1 million OKB (over $265 million going by current rates) to a wallet that nobody can access.

The endeavor is part of the company’s Buy-Back and Burn program, which started in May 2019. So far, the crypto exchange has removed over 70 million tokens from the circulating supply.

Such an initiative is considered bullish since reducing the market supply could make the asset more scarce and, hence, more valuable in time.
