A sell-triggered token burn left TENDRIL’s pool nearly empty for a $4.42M USDT swap

A sell-triggered token burn nearly emptied the TENDRIL side of a BNB Chain liquidity pool on November 4, 2026, setting up a swap that removed almost 4.42 million USDT. The transaction’s net pool outflow was smaller—555,670.538752928908475139 USDT—because substantial USDT amounts had entered earlier in the same transaction. Key takeaways TENDRIL’s controller removed twice the original sale amount from the pool. The pool recorded almost no TENDRIL before receiving the seller’s remaining tokens. Renounced ownership did not disable the controller’s burn permission. The final swap output and the transaction’s net outflow measure different amounts. How the sale activated the sell-triggered token burn The sale invoked a controller before the seller’s remaining TENDRIL reached the pool.
