- AAVE AaveBuyback
Aave says AAVE buybacks will restart, and some coins will be burned.
On its Oct 22 2026 livestream, Aave's founder laid out Aavenomics 3.0: the DAO will buy AAVE on the market again, share part of the coins with stakers and send the rest to a burn address. Buybacks have been paused since Apr 19 2026, and no start date or size is set yet. People ask when the first coins will be bought and how much will really be burned.

A new report says APT now grows its supply 70% slower.
A report on Oct 20 2026 looked at four Aptos votes from Feb 19 to Mar 19 2026. New APT per year fell from about 5% to about 1.5%, supply is capped at 2.1 billion APT, and 210 million APT are locked for good. Still, APT is down about 11% in 7 days, near $0.74, and people ask why the better design has not helped the price yet.

BTT supply research → - CC Canton CoinBurn
Canton voted for a "universal burn": all Canton traffic will burn CC.
The Super Validators approved CIP-0129, marked approved on Oct 23 2026. Today only traffic on the main Global Synchronizer burns CC; under this plan every production synchronizer on Canton burns CC at the same list price, now about $1 a transaction, with lower prices for big volume. People ask how much more CC this will burn, and when it starts, since a second vote must still set the prices.

LDO supply research → - SHIB Shiba InuBurn
SHIB burns from Shibarium are stuck.
On Oct 22 2026, SHIB fans spotted that the burn page for Shibarium's fee burner would not load. Community members said the burner cannot send SHIB to the dead wallet while the bridge lane it needs stays paused after the 2025 hack, so the burns wait until it reopens. People ask when the bridge comes back and whether the burns will catch up then.
SHIB supply research → - SYRUP Maple FinanceBuyback
SYRUP fell about 24% in one week, even with bigger buybacks.
In the week to Oct 19 2026 SYRUP dropped about 24%, more than Bitcoin and Ether.
