ChangeNOW Brings Back $NOW Burns: Strengthening the Token Ecosystem
ChangeNOW has relaunched the $NOW burn program, tying token burns to real platform activity. Each burn gradually reduces the circulating supply, while holders keep full access to services like wallets, payments, and trading.
The latest burn on December 17th permanently removed 210,018 $NOW tokens from circulation, worth approximately $123.5K (as of December 17, 2025). This marks the fifth burn in history, contributing to a continuous reduction in the circulating supply.
Burns are now scheduled quarterly, giving the community predictable insights into ecosystem growth.
“With ongoing updates across our products and services, maintaining a healthy and transparent token economy remains a priority.” said CSO Pauline Shangett.
$NOW Utility Across the Platform
$NOW is more than a token – it powers the entire ChangeNOW ecosystem. Users can utilize it across multiple services, including the exchange, NOW Wallet, NOWPayments, NOWNodes, and NOW Tracker, enabling practical benefits while supporting platform growth. The token’s activity also ties into the overall burn schedule, so all platform usage indirectly contributes to reducing circulating supply.
Exchange
The ChangeNOW exchange enables instant crypto swaps without requiring an account. However, users who create an account in ChangeNOW Pro gain access to additional benefits, including cashback in $NOW, priority access to selected trading features, making the platform attractive for both casual users and active traders [2].
NOW Wallet
NOW Wallet is a secure, non-custodial wallet that supports multiple blockchains.
Integrated with ChangeNOW Pro, it allows users to earn cashback in $NOW on transactions while managing multiple assets efficiently, highlighting the token’s practical use. For more guidance, discover “How to Earn Cashback on Every Crypto Swap”.
NOWPayments
NOWPayments lets merchants accept payments in over 100 cryptocurrencies. $NOW holders benefit from reduced service fees, demonstrating the token’s utility in real-world transactions.
This aligns with ChangeNOW’s goal of establishing a predictable, transparent token economy.
NOWNodes
NOWNodes offers access to full nodes and blockchain infrastructure for developers and enterprises. $NOW tokens can be used to pay for API calls and infrastructure services, with discounted rates for holders.
This positions $NOW as a utility token beyond consumer products, supporting developers while contributing to network health [5].
NOW Tracker
NOW Tracker is a blockchain monitoring and portfolio management tool. Holding $NOW unlocks advanced analytics and portfolio insights, enabling informed decision-making [6].
By integrating token utility with these features, ChangeNOW encourages active participation while tying usage to the overall burn schedule.

Transparent Supply Reduction
The burn mechanism gradually decreases the total $NOW supply in line with actual platform activity. Users can follow ecosystem growth in real time and observe the direct effects of each burn [2].
All supply data, burn history, and roadmap updates are publicly available, ensuring users can track developments step by step.
Looking Ahead
The $NOW burn program continues alongside ChangeNOW’s ecosystem expansion: NOW Wallet improvements, new NOWPayments features, NOWNodes infrastructure upgrades, and further integrations planned for 2026 [1].
Burns reflect real platform usage and show community participation in ecosystem growth.
Conclusion
The relaunch of the $NOW burn program highlights ChangeNOW’s commitment to a healthy, transparent, and community-focused ecosystem. By tying burns to real activity and maintaining a predictable schedule, holders gain clear insights into platform development and build trust.
As ChangeNOW enhances products like NOW Wallet, NOWPayments, and NOWNodes, the burn program serves as a visible signal of ecosystem evolution and ongoing value for the community.
