Written the night of Oct 14 2026 from each project's own news, checked at the source. Each coin's page has its full supply numbers.
- APT AptosUnlock
The four-year unlock for Aptos insiders is over.
In October 2026, the last monthly unlocks for early investors and core contributors ended. New APT released each month falls from about 11.31 million to about 4.54 million, a drop of about 60%. People ask if less new supply can help APT, which is near $0.80 after a strong four weeks.
APT supply research → - ARB ArbitrumUnlock
Another 92.65M ARB unlocks on Oct 16.
Team members and early investors get their next monthly share of ARB this week, about 1.4% of the coins now trading. ARB slid from about $0.21 on Oct 6 to near $0.17 on Oct 9, bounced to about $0.20, and sits near $0.18 today. People ask if the rally since August can take a fresh unlock every month until March 2027.
ARB supply research → - CAKE PancakeSwapNew supply
PancakeSwap plans to give liquidity providers more fees and mint far fewer CAKE.
On Oct 13 2026 PancakeSwap's team shared a plan called "The Flip": liquidity providers on v3 and Infinity pools would keep 88% of swap fees, up from about two-thirds today. New CAKE would drop from 22,500 to 7,000 a day, so 15,500 fewer CAKE are made every day. People ask whether the vote will pass, and why the other 12% goes to the treasury instead of to CAKE burns.
CAKE supply research → - CRO CronosUnlock
About 1.17 billion CRO unlock on Oct 17.
About 1.17 billion CRO, worth roughly $69 million, are set to unlock on Oct 17 2026. That is about 2.3% of the CRO already trading, and the biggest unlock in the market that week. People ask who will receive these coins, and if they will be sold.
CRO supply research → - FIL FilecoinUnlock
Filecoin's six-year launch vesting ends this week.
The six-year vesting for Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation ends on Oct 14 2026, six years after the Oct 15 2020 launch. That stops about 68 million new FIL a year, so the flow of new coins drops by roughly three quarters. People ask if this slower supply is already in the price after FIL's big jump this month.
FIL supply research → - FLOKI FlokiNew supply
FLOKI stakers got round 5 of the RICE airdrop.
Around Oct 9 2026, the Floki team said it sent 20 million RICE tokens to eligible FLOKI and TOKEN stakers in round 5 of 8. That brings the total to 90 million out of a 140 million pool. People ask if free tokens are enough reason to lock up FLOKI, and when the last three rounds come.
FLOKI supply research → - GNO GnosisBuyback
The Gnosis DAO bought back about 7,800 GNO last quarter.
In its Q3 update on Oct 13 2026, the team that runs the Gnosis DAO treasury said it bought about 7,800 GNO for $915k. In the same quarter, 92 holders handed in about 111k GNO and 48k osGNO through the GIP-151 redemption, and that GNO went back to the treasury. People ask if the buybacks will keep going in the last quarter of the year.
GNO supply research → - HYPE HyperliquidBuyback
Hyperliquid's buyback fund now holds over 48 million HYPE.
On Oct 14 2026 the Hyperliquid Assistance Fund held about 48.0 million HYPE, bought for about $1.37 billion in total with trading fees. That is close to $3.9 billion at today's price. People ask how long these daily buys can keep taking coins off the market.
HYPE supply research → - LDO Lido DAOBuyback
Lido's buyback system has not bought any LDO yet.
A forum post on Oct 7 2026 showed that NEST, Lido's buyback system live since Aug 10 2026, has not bought a single LDO, because its budget counter stood near -$542,000 at the end of September. The writer asks to cut the 2027 budget from $43.8 million to about $30 million so buybacks can start, and the debate was still going on Oct 14 2026. People ask if the DAO will really cut spending to make buybacks happen.
LDO supply research → - LIT LighterBuyback
Lighter burned about 2.45 million LIT from its Q3 buybacks.
On Oct 12 2026 Lighter destroyed 2,452,017 LIT that it had bought back up to the end of Q3 2026, worth about $9.5 million at the time. That is close to 1% of the LIT in circulation. People ask if buybacks of this size can keep up with the new tokens coming to the market.
LIT supply research → - NEAR NEAR ProtocolNew supply
A plan to cut NEAR's new supply is being discussed.
A draft proposal posted on Oct 7 2026 would lower NEAR's top yearly issuance from 2.5% to 1.6%, stepping down over 24 months. The writer says this avoids about 11.8 million new NEAR in two years; it is still a draft and has more than 40 replies. People ask if holders will vote it through, and accept lower staking rewards.
NEAR supply research → - POL PolygonBurn
Another 22 million POL is lined up to be burned.
Around Oct 11 2026 Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal said about 22 million POL from network fees is ready for the next burn, about 0.2% of supply. It would follow the 100 million POL burn on Sep 23 2026, but no date has been set yet. People ask if the burns are big enough to beat the about 2% of new POL made each year.
POL supply research → Render's September report shows more work and more coins burned.
On Oct 13 2026, the Render Network Foundation's September report showed 1.73 million frames rendered, up 31% from August. 140,532 RENDER were burned, up 65%, while 492,132 new RENDER were paid out as rewards. People ask how much more work the network needs before burns catch up with new coins.
RENDER supply research →- SHIB Shiba InuBurn
Only about 192,000 SHIB were burned in one day.
On Oct 13 2026 the 24-hour burn was about 192,678 SHIB, worth roughly $1, after the burn count was missing for a while. That is tiny next to a supply of about 589 trillion SHIB, and SHIB was near $0.0000051 on Oct 14. People ask if burns can ever make a real dent in the supply.
SHIB supply research → - STRK StarknetUnlock
127 million new STRK unlock on Oct 15 2026.
This is part of the monthly release to early team members and investors that runs until Mar 15 2027. At about $0.079, the batch is worth roughly $10 million, and it lands right after a fast run-up. People ask whether the people getting these coins will sell into the bounce.
STRK supply research → - SYRUP Maple FinanceBuyback
Maple finished another SYRUP buyback.
Around Oct 9 2026, Maple said it bought back 1,371,166 SYRUP for $314,116, at an average price of $0.229. That money is 20% of its September revenue of about $1.57 million, under the MIP-021 rule. People ask if buybacks of this size can make a real dent in selling.
SYRUP supply research → - TIA CelestiaUnlock
The last team coins finish unlocking on Oct 30.
The coins of Celestia's first core contributors (about 17.6% of the starting supply) finish their 3-year unlock on Oct 30 2026. After that, this group stops adding new TIA each day, while the R&D and ecosystem share keeps unlocking until 2027. People ask if less new supply from the team will ease selling, or if holders sell before the date.
TIA supply research → - ZRO LayerZeroUnlock
About 23 million new ZRO unlock on Oct 20.
The next monthly unlock for investors and the team comes on Oct 20 2026, about 23 million ZRO, close to 6% of the coins now trading. These unlocks happen on the 20th of every month until May 2027. People ask whether holders will sell the new coins into the recent gains.
