The coins can also be traded on Binance for other coins. Binance has a unique repurchasing plan by which it will use 20% of its profits to buy back BNB coins and destroy them, until they buy 50% of all the BNB tokens back. Binance eventually aims to destroy 100 million BNB token and leave the remaining 100 million.

The main aim to use BNB is to get a discount on fees. The discount keeps decreasing year on year in line with the 20% bought back each year. For the first year, users get a fee discount of 50% while in the second year the fee discount is 25%. Going forward, in the third and fourth year, the fee discount is 12.5% and 6.75% respectively. Finally, from the fifth year onward, zero fee discount is offered. In addition to paying fees, the BNB tokens can also be used to invest in the ICOs that are part of the Binance's Launchpad program.
