- ARB ArbitrumUnlock
ARB nearly tripled since August, but monthly unlocks go on.
ARB trades near $0.20 on Oct 3 2026, almost three times its Aug 16 2026 low of about $0.07. About 92.65 million ARB still unlock every month until March 2027, and the next one is due in mid-October. People ask if buyers can keep taking in this new supply.
ARB supply research → - CAKE PancakeSwapBurn
The weekly burn still beat new CAKE.
In the week reported on Sep 29 2026, PancakeSwap burned about 480,000 CAKE, around $1.27 million. After new coins were paid out, total supply still fell by about 328,000 CAKE, even though the burn was 23% smaller than the week before. People ask if the burn can stay above new supply when trading slows down.
CAKE supply research → - CRO CronosBurn
Cronos voters approved burning 228 million CRO.
The vote closed on Oct 3 2026, and every vote that was not an abstain said yes. The 228 million CRO move from the community pool to a dead address, which brings the total burned this way to 428 million CRO. People ask how much this one-time burn really changes CRO's supply.
CRO supply research → - CRO CronosBurn
All income from two Cronos products will now buy and burn CRO.
A second proposal also passed on Oct 3 2026 with no votes against. Every month, all income from Ult and Cronos Launch will be used to buy CRO on the market and burn it, with the transactions made public. People ask how big this income is and how much CRO it can remove each month.
CRO supply research → - FIL FilecoinNew supply
A big cut in new FIL supply is coming on Oct 15 2026.
The early unlocks for Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation finish on Oct 15 2026, which cuts the new FIL that enters the market each year by about 75%. After that, only about 22 million FIL a year comes from mining rewards, a bit over 2% of the coins in circulation. People ask whether less new supply is already in the price, after FIL jumped more than 12% on Sep 26 2026.
FIL supply research → - FLOKI FlokiNew supply
Floki sent round 4 of its RICE airdrop to holders.
On Oct 2 2026, the Floki team said it sent 20 million RICE tokens to people who hold or stake FLOKI and TOKEN. That makes 70 million sent so far, half of the 140 million planned over eight rounds, and the team said sorry that this round came late. People ask when round 5 will come and whether these drops are a good reason to hold FLOKI.
FLOKI supply research → - INJ InjectiveBuyback
Injective's first Stockdrop burn round closed on Sep 30 2026.
From Sep 23 to Sep 30 2026, holders could send INJ into the monthly community buyback, where the INJ is burned forever, and each wallet got a chance to win a tokenized stock like Nvidia or Meta. Earlier rounds have already burned more than 7.2 million INJ. People ask how much INJ this round removed and if stock rewards will bring in new buyers.
INJ supply research → Binance burned another 334 million LUNC, but the price barely moved.
On Oct 1 2026, Binance burned about 334 million LUNC from its trading fees. That is tiny next to a total supply of about 6.4 trillion LUNC, and LUNC sat near $0.000052 on Oct 3 2026, down about 7% in seven days. People ask if burns this small can ever make a real dent in the supply.
LUNC supply research →- M MemeCoreUnlock
Another monthly M unlock arrived on Oct 2.
MemeCore released its next monthly batch of new M coins on Oct 2 2026, worth about $68 million. The price fell about 16% in the 7 days around it, to near $1.02 on Oct 3 2026. People ask if buyers can absorb these unlocks every month.
M supply research → - NEAR NEAR ProtocolNew supply
NEAR holders are voting on cutting new supply to 1.6% a year.
A House of Stake vote that ends by Oct 11 2026 would lower NEAR's top yearly issuance from 2.5% to 1.6% over 24 months. About 66 million NEAR would never be made, but staking rewards would fall from about 5.4% to about 3.4%. People ask if less new supply is worth the lower staking reward.

Pump.fun's PUMP buybacks passed $466 million.
By Sep 29 2026, Pump.fun had spent more than $466 million buying back PUMP, and about 17% of the original supply is now burned. Half of the platform's net revenue goes to buying and burning PUMP, and its weekly revenue was about $9.7 million in late September. People ask if buybacks this big can keep lifting the price.
PUMP supply research → - PYTH Pyth NetworkBuyback
Pyth voters made the PYTH buybacks automatic.
A proposal posted on Sep 24 2026 has now passed. It hands about $323,000 in USDC and 90 SOL to the team that buys PYTH, and lets future income from Pyth Pro and other paid products turn into PYTH without a new vote every month; the PYTH bought can not be sold. People ask how big these buys will get as more income comes in.
PYTH supply research → - VVV Venice TokenNew supply
Venice cut new VVV supply again on Oct 1.
On Oct 1 2026, Venice lowered new VVV coins from 2.5 million to 2 million a year. That is about 86% less than the 14 million a year at launch in January 2025, and all new coins still go to people who stake. People ask whether the monthly buy-and-burn can now take back more coins than are made.

XPL fell after a very large token unlock.
