- APT AptosUnlock
Big team and investor unlocks for APT have ended.
With team and investor vesting now closed, monthly APT releases drop to about 4.54 million, roughly 60% less than before, as reported on Oct 8 2026. APT traded near $0.81 on Oct 10 2026, up about 31% in 30 days. People ask whether smaller unlocks will let the price keep its gains.
APT supply research → - ASTER AsterBuyback
Aster burned 3.11 million ASTER on Oct 5 2026.
On Oct 5 2026, Aster removed 3.11 million ASTER, worth about $2.25 million, from its team allocation. Under its June 2026 rules, 99% of daily fees buy back ASTER, and the same amount is burned from reserves every two weeks until total supply falls to 3 billion. People ask whether these burns can hold the price near $0.70, where ASTER traded on Oct 10 2026.
ASTER supply research → - BNB BNBBurn
The next big BNB burn is only days away.
BNB fell about 5% on Oct 8 2026 in a wide sell-off across altcoins, just before its 37th quarterly burn. The official tracker puts that burn at about 1.65M BNB, due around Oct 15 2026. People ask whether the burn can lift the price this time, or whether the market mood matters more.
BNB supply research → - CRO CronosBurn
Cronos burned 228 million CRO after a community vote.
On Oct 3 2026, Cronos said 228,000,000 CRO were burned from the community pool after voters approved Proposals 36 and 37, worth about $15 million at the time. This brings the community burns to about 428 million CRO, and the plan also sends 100% of revenue from Cronos Ult and Cronos Launch to buying CRO on the market and burning it each month. People ask how much revenue these two products will really make, and so how big the monthly burns will be.
CRO supply research → - FIL FilecoinUnlock
Filecoin's six-year early-backer token release ends on Oct 15 2026.
The token release to Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation, running since launch in 2020, stops on Oct 15 2026. That could cut new FIL coming out each year by about 75%, from about 88 million to about 22 million. FIL rose about 40% in the 30 days before Oct 8 2026, and people ask if this news is already in the price.
FIL supply research → - FLOKI FlokiNew supply
Stakers got another round of the RICE airdrop.
Floki said round 4 of 8 of its RICE token airdrop went out in early October 2026: 20M RICE, bringing the total to 70M of the 140M planned. The team called the round overdue and said sorry for the wait, and no date is set for round 5. People ask whether these airdrops are enough reason to keep FLOKI staked, since leaving early costs a penalty.
FLOKI supply research → - GT GateBurn
Gate burned about 1.99 million GT for the third quarter.
Gate finished its Q3 2026 burn around Oct 5 2026: 1,987,321 GT, worth more than $22 million, went to a burn address. Gate says total GT supply is now about 64% below the first 300 million. People ask if burns this size still matter when GT's price follows the exchange's business.
GT supply research → - HYPE HyperliquidUnlock
Hyperliquid unlocked 3.75 million HYPE, and the team says it went to private buyers.
On Oct 7 2026, the team released 3.75 million HYPE, worth about $330 million, from its locked supply. The team said these tokens went to large buyers in a private deal and will not be sold on exchanges. People ask if these buyers will hold, or if some of it reaches the market later.
HYPE supply research → - OP OptimismBuyback
OP sits near its lows as unlocks outrun buybacks.
OP traded around $0.13 on Oct 10 2026, down about 97% from its high of $4.84. The buyback has bought about 9.45 million OP so far (last update Aug 7 2026), much less than the OP still due to unlock. People ask whether the buyback will grow, or stop after its 12-month plan.
OP supply research → - RAY RaydiumBuyback
Raydium's third-quarter numbers show big fees and buybacks.
In its third-quarter update (shared in early October 2026), Raydium reported about $16.1 billion in trading, up 17% from the quarter before, and about $57.1 million in fees. About $6.2 million went to buy back around 4.58 million RAY. People ask whether tokenized stock trading on Raydium can keep these numbers growing.
RAY supply research → - SHIB Shiba InuBurn
SHIB burns swing wildly from day to day.
On Oct 9 2026, almost no SHIB was burned in 24 hours, after about 91 million the day before. SHIB sits near $0.0000054, down about 4% in seven days. People ask if burns this small can ever matter next to the huge supply.
SHIB supply research → - STRK StarknetUnlock
A monthly STRK unlock comes on Oct 15.
About 127 million STRK, roughly 1.3% of the total 10 billion, are set to unlock on Oct 15 2026 as part of the monthly schedule. That comes right after the big price jump. People ask whether early backers will sell into the rally.
STRK supply research → - SYRUP Maple FinanceBuyback
Maple finished its September SYRUP buyback.
Maple said it bought back 1,371,166 SYRUP for $314,116, at an average price of $0.229, and the news came out on Oct 9 2026. That is 20% of Maple's $1.57 million September revenue, set aside under its MIP-021 rule. People ask whether buybacks of this size are enough to matter while SYRUP trades near $0.23.
SYRUP supply research → - TIA CelestiaUnlock
A big stream of TIA unlocks ends on Oct 30 2026.
The unlock for Celestia's early core contributors finishes on Oct 30 2026. After that, the new TIA reaching the market each day falls from about 345,000 to about 184,000, almost half. People ask whether this smaller daily supply can support the price.
TIA supply research → - ZRO LayerZeroBuyback
ZRO fell back as the next unlock comes closer.
ZRO reached about $2.14 on Oct 4 2026, then dropped to about $1.96, down about 7% in 24 hours. The next monthly unlock, about 23.6 million ZRO, is set for Oct 20 2026. People ask if insiders will sell, and if buybacks can absorb it.
