Gamefi platform BinaryX completed the split of its native BNX token on Feb. 23.
Following the announcement, the old BNX token surged up to 9500% — while the new BNX trades at $1.27, according to CryptoSlate data.
BNX 1:100 token split
Token split is carried out to increase the total supply of a token by fractionalizing the asset. In the case of BNX, the token split was carried out on a 1:100 ratio — meaning that 1 old BNX can be exchanged for 100 new BNX.
Prior to the token split, BNX’s maximum supply was capped at 21 million BNX — while its market cap was roughly $386 million.
Following the token split on Feb. 23, BNX’s maximum supply has increased to 2.1 billion, with a circulating supply of 2.8 million BNX.
The BinaryX team expressed optimism that the token split will help increase BNX’s economic model and increase new users’ acceptance of the token.
