Deep Dive
1. Morph Partnership & Burn Upgrade (3 Sep 2025)
Overview: BGB’s role expanded as the gas and governance token for Morph, a consumer-focused Layer 2 blockchain.
The Bitget team transferred 440M BGB to Morph’s foundation, with 220M immediately burned and the rest locked (2% released monthly for ecosystem growth). The burn mechanism now dynamically adjusts based on Morph’s on-chain activity, aiming to reduce BGB’s total supply to 100M over time.
What this means: This is bullish for BGB because it deepens utility beyond Bitget’s ecosystem, linking scarcity to Morph’s adoption. Reduced supply + cross-chain utility could drive demand.

2. Q2 2025 Burn Execution (10 July 2025)
Overview: 30,001,053 BGB ($138M) were burned in Q2 2025, removing 2.56% of circulating supply.
The burn formula combines on-chain gas fees (1,058 BGB used) and a fixed deflationary rate. Total supply dropped to 1.14B, with burns continuing until 100M remains.
What this means: This is neutral for BGB short-term (expected quarterly event) but reinforces long-term scarcity. Burns align with platform usage, incentivizing hodling.

3. On-Chain Burn Mechanism (8 Apr 2025)
Overview: Bitget overhauled BGB’s burn model to reflect real on-chain utility.
Burns now derive from BGB used for gas fees in Bitget Wallet’s GetGas service. Q1 2025 saw 6,943.63 BGB burned via this mechanism, supplemented by fixed burns.
What this means: This is bullish for BGB because burns are no longer arbitrary—they scale with actual network usage, creating organic deflation.

Conclusion
BGB’s codebase shifts focus from exchange-centric utility to multi-chain scarcity, anchored by Morph integration and verifiable burns. With 43% of supply already eliminated, will accelerating adoption on Morph catalyze BGB’s next leg up?
