The Gamefi BinaryX platform completed the split of its native BNX token on February 23.
Following the announcement, the old BNX token jumped up to 9500% – while the new BNX is trading at $1.27, according to data from CryptoSlate.
BNX Token Breakdown 1:100
Token splitting is done to increase the total supply of a token by splitting the asset. In the case of BNX, the token distribution was done at a ratio of 1:100, which means that 1 old BNX can be exchanged for 100 new BNX.
Before the token split, BNX maximum feed was capped at 21 million BNX – while its market cap was around $386 million.
Following the token split on February 23, the maximum supply of BNX increased to 2.1 billion, with a circulating supply of 2.8 million BNX.
The BinaryX team expressed optimism that splitting the token will help grow BNX’s business model and increase acceptance of the token by new users.
