Token burn is a common event nowadays. Many projects often decide to burn a certain amount of tokens from the circulating supply for various reasons. Basically, a certain amount of tokens are removed from the circulating supply permanently in the burning event. Reduction of supply increases the demands of the token. The move is obviously deflationary in nature. Burning is quite unique to cryptocurrency as fiat currencies never get burnt. Burning helps to boost the price of the token in the short run. Periodical burning helps in the price stability of the token. The price stability motivates the investors to hold the token for a long term and often they get incentive due to the price appreciation.
