Bombie’s Big Burn
Bombie has officially burned 970 million BOMB tokens worth roughly $700,000, or just over 9.7% of its total supply.
It’s done so in a bid to “strengthen” its future as part of a “relaunch” effort following a disastrous airdrop and token launch.
These tokens were left behind by Bombie players who failed to claim them during the airdrop. Now, a total of 9 billion BOMB tokens remain in circulation.
According to the Bombie ‘sequel’, Capybobo (formerly CapyBomb), just over 5.1 billion BOMB are locked up in its in-game staking feature. This allows players to earn extra in-game tokens through boosters and earn airdrop points.
Capybobo began as a direct sequel that, following its rebrand, is more of a spiritual successor than anything else. It’s essentially a reskin of Bombie, plus some other features.
According to the Telegram bot, the game has attracted over 832,000 monthly players since its May 21, 2025, launch. It’s an increase of around 50,000 since last week.
For comparison, following the Catizen airdrop, Bombie garnered millions of players in its first two months.
BOMB Token
With bullish market sentiment, the token burn has produced some reasonable gains, resulting in a 9.34% price boost over the past 24 hours.
Overall, however, the token is trading down by over 90% at an abysmal $0.00071 with a market cap of $6.49 million.

It’s a tough situation that has left every paying player with a huge loss. And the Bombie team’s consistent delays, poor rollout, and ambiguity have served to destroy confidence in the project, and its Capybobo game, which is also promising a Q3 airdrop.
