Written the night of Oct 17 2026 from each project's own news, checked at the source. Each coin's page has its full supply numbers.
- APT AptosBurn
Aptos burned about 174,000 APT in the last 30 days.
Reports on Oct 16 2026 put the 30-day burn at about 174,100 APT, and about 1.9 million APT in total since the network started in Oct 2022. New staking rewards are still about 1.5 million APT a month, so the supply keeps growing. People ask if fees can ever burn more APT than staking adds.
APT supply research → - ARB ArbitrumUnlock
A monthly ARB unlock came on Oct 16.
About 92.65 million new ARB unlocked for the team and early investors on Oct 16 2026, as it does on the 16th of every month. ARB was near $0.184 on Oct 17 2026, down about 4% in a day. People ask how much of the unlocked ARB gets sold.
ARB supply research → - ASTER AsterUnlock
Calendars listed an ASTER unlock for Oct 17 2026, but Aster's own plan differs.
Some market calendars this week listed 1.65% of ASTER's circulating supply, about $31.7 million, to unlock on Oct 17 2026. Aster's own token page says the team's 400 million ASTER stay locked until Sep 17 2027, after the cliff was pushed back a year, and community tokens now come out through staking rewards instead of a fixed monthly unlock. People ask which is right, while the price barely moved, near $0.71.
ASTER supply research → - BTT BitTorrentBuyback
BitTorrent burned $7.6 million of BTT in its first quarterly buyback.
On Oct 16 2026 BitTorrent said it bought back and burned about 21.6 trillion BTT, worth around $7.6 million. The money came from 100% of its Q3 revenue from decentralized services, as promised in July. People ask if the next burns will be as big, and if it is enough to move a coin with such a huge supply.
BTT supply research → - CAKE PancakeSwapNew supply
PancakeSwap wants to give liquidity providers 88% of fees and cut CAKE minting by 69%.
The plan, called The Flip, was posted on Oct 14 2026. It would raise the fee share of liquidity providers from about two-thirds to 88% on v3 and Infinity pools, and cut daily new CAKE from 22,500 to 7,000. Many holders worry it means fewer CAKE burns, so people ask how the vote will go.
CAKE supply research → - CRO CronosUnlock
About 1.17 billion CRO were unlocked on Oct 17 2026.
This month's unlock from the CRO reserve was about 1.17 billion coins, near 2.33% of the coins in use and about $67 million at $0.057. It happens every month, and CRO has slid from about $0.061 on Oct 11 2026 to $0.057. People ask who buys all these new coins each month, and if the price can rise while unlocks go on.
CRO supply research → - FIL FilecoinUnlock
Early FIL unlocks for Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation have ended.
On Oct 15 2026 Filecoin said the six-year vesting from its 2020 launch is now done. Together with Solstice, the project says new FIL supply each day will fall by about 75%. People ask if less new supply can lift the price, after FIL jumped and then fell back this week.
FIL supply research → - JST JUSTBuyback
JUST burned 170 million JST in its fifth buyback.
On Oct 16 2026 JustLend DAO bought back and burned 170,723,144 JST, worth about $23.5 million, under a plan the community voted for. That is about 1.7% of all JST, sent to an address no one can spend from. People ask how often these burns will come and how much more supply they can take out.
JST supply research → - LDO Lido DAOBuyback
LDO holders ask why the buyback has not bought any LDO yet.
Lido's buyback system, live since Aug 10 2026, had not bought a single LDO by early October, and a forum plan (Oct 7 2026, still debated on Oct 15) asks to cut the 2027 budget by about 30%, to around $30M, so buybacks can start. LDO was near $0.39 on Oct 17 2026, down about 9% in a week. People ask if the DAO will vote for smaller spending, and if bought LDO should be burned.
LDO supply research → - LIT LighterBuyback
Lighter burned about 2.45 million LIT from its buybacks.
Lighter burned 2,452,017 LIT, reported on Oct 12 2026, matching the coins it bought back up to Sep 30 2026. It did not say how much money the buybacks cost. People ask if burns like this can keep up with new coins being unlocked.
LIT supply research → - POL PolygonBurn
Another 22 million POL is lined up to burn.
On Oct 11 2026, Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal said about 100 million POL, near 1% of supply, was burned from network fees in late September 2026. Another 22 million POL is queued next, with no date yet. People ask if burns this size can beat the new POL made each year.
POL supply research → - PYTH Pyth NetworkBuyback
PYTH jumped after the DAO's buyback vote, then cooled.
PYTH rose from about $0.074 on Oct 8 2026, the day the Pyth DAO said it will turn all its product revenue into PYTH, to about $0.093 on Oct 16. On Oct 17 it gave some back and traded near $0.083. People ask whether about half a million dollars of buying a month is enough to hold the price.
PYTH supply research → - SYRUP Maple FinanceBuyback
SYRUP buybacks doubled in September.
Maple's monthly memo on Oct 16 2026 said revenue crossed $1.5 million in September, which lifts the buyback share from 10% to 20% of revenue under its MIP-021 rule. Maple bought 1.37 million SYRUP in September, about twice August, for 2.9 million SYRUP in Q3. People ask if bigger buybacks can slow the recent price drop.
SYRUP supply research → - XPL PlasmaUnlock
A big XPL unlock comes on Oct 25 2026.
On Oct 25 2026 team and investor tokens start their monthly unlocks, about 139 million XPL, plus about 89 million XPL for the ecosystem: roughly 228 million XPL in one day, about 2.3% of the 10 billion supply. At about $0.080 that is near $18 million. People ask if buyers from the Stripe news can absorb this new supply.
