Crypto supply news, Oct 8 2026
On Oct 8 2026 we found 15 supply stories across 15 coins: 3 burns, 3 buybacks, 8 unlocks, 1 new-supply story. Coins that burn or buy back take supply off the market; unlocks and new coins add to it.
Written the night of Oct 8 2026 from each project's own news, checked at the source. Each coin's page has its full supply numbers.
- ASTER AsterBuyback
Aster burned about 3.1 million ASTER.
On Oct 5 2026, Aster burned about 3.11 million ASTER, worth about $2.25 million, from its team share. Aster uses 99% of daily fees to buy back ASTER, and burns the same amount from reserves every two weeks. People ask if these burns are big enough next to the 400 million team coins that unlock in 2027.
ASTER supply research → - BTT BitTorrentBurn
BitTorrent's first BTT burn is due this month.
In July BitTorrent said it will spend all the money from BitTorrent Speed and its new AI compute service on buying BTT every quarter, then burn those coins. The first burn is due in mid-October 2026, and the amount has not been shared yet. People ask how big it can be next to almost 990T coins.
BTT supply research → - CRO CronosBuyback
Cronos holders voted to burn 228 million CRO and fund buybacks.
On Oct 3 2026 Cronos said voters passed two proposals: 228 million CRO, worth about $15 million, were burned from the community pool, and all revenue from Ult and Cronos Launch will now buy CRO on the market and burn it every month. The burned coins were already in the pool, so this burn did not need any new buying. People ask how big the monthly buybacks will be.
CRO supply research → - ENA EthenaUnlock
A big ENA unlock arrived on Oct 5 2026.
After a schedule change on Aug 27 2026, the rest of the investor tokens could unlock at once from Oct 5 2026, about 1.4 billion ENA by most counts, near 10% of the 15 billion total. Many trackers still show only about 172 million under the old monthly plan, so people were confused. People ask if early investors will sell, with ENA near $0.23 after a 4% drop on Oct 7 2026.
ENA supply research → - FF Falcon FinanceUnlock
Team and investor coins started to unlock, but they are staked for now.
On Oct 1 2026 the first monthly payment left the FF team and investor locks, about 68 million FF, and it went straight into staking. A vote that closed on Sep 28 keeps these payments staked for three months, so the first ones reach their owners on Dec 29 2026. People ask how much of it will be sold after that.
FF supply research → - FIL FilecoinUnlock
Filecoin's six-year vesting ends Oct 15.
The six-year vesting for Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation ends on Oct 15 2026. It has been the largest source of new FIL since 2020, so new supply should drop sharply after that day. People ask if less new FIL will help the price, or if it is already priced in.
FIL supply research → - GT GateBurn
Gate burned almost 2 million GT for Q3 2026.
Gate announced on Oct 5 2026 that it burned 1,987,321 GT, worth about $22 million, for the third quarter. That brings total burns to about 191.9 million GT, around 64% of the first 300 million supply. People ask if GT can stay near $11 as the supply keeps shrinking.
GT supply research → - M MemeCoreUnlock
A new MemeCore unlock added about 56 million M coins.
Around Oct 3 2026, about 56.1 million M coins, worth about $57 million, were unlocked. That is about 2.5% of the coins already on the market, and M fell about 13% over the week after it. People ask how much of the unlocked supply will be sold, and when the next big unlock comes.
M supply research → - MON MonadUnlock
MON gave back its gains, with a big unlock ahead.
MON fell about 14% from Oct 4 to Oct 6 2026 and about 10% more on Oct 7 2026, to near $0.026. A large unlock of locked MON starts on Nov 24 2026. People ask whether buyers can hold the price before that date.
MON supply research → - PIEVERSE PieverseUnlock
A big unlock in November has holders worried.
On Oct 2 2026, reports said about $46 million of PIEVERSE unlocks in November, mostly for the team and early investors. The first team and investor coins become free on Nov 14 2026. People ask whether investors who paid about 7 cents a coin will sell.
PIEVERSE supply research → - PONS PonsBurn
Pons says 32% of PONS has now been burned.
On Oct 6 2026 Pons said about 32% of the PONS supply has been burned, up from about 30% in early September. The project uses 80% of its share of launchpad fees to buy PONS and burn it. People ask how long the burn can keep up if trading on the launchpad slows.
PONS supply research → - STABLE StableUnlock
STABLE has an unlock today and a much bigger one in December.
A STABLE token unlock worth about $25 million is set for Oct 8 2026. A much larger unlock, worth about $353 million, is set for Dec 8 2026, mostly for the team, investors and early helpers. People ask how much of this new supply will be sold.
STABLE supply research → - VVV Venice TokenNew supply
Venice cut new VVV supply again, to 2 million a year.
From Oct 1 2026 Venice lowered yearly VVV emissions from 2.5 million to 2 million, about 86% below the 14 million at launch in Jan 2025. All new VVV still goes to stakers, and over 33.7 million VVV have been burned so far. People ask how much lower emissions can go, and whether the buy-and-burn now outweighs new coins.
VVV supply research → - XPL PlasmaUnlock
XPL slips with the market two weeks after its big unlock.
XPL fell about 5% on Oct 7 2026 to near $0.087 as a wide crypto selloff wiped out about $700 million of leveraged bets, and it is down about 9% over the week. People ask whether the team and investor coins unlocked on Sep 25 are being sold, and what the next monthly unlock of about 228 million XPL on Oct 25 will do.
XPL supply research → - ZRO LayerZeroBuyback
A new ZRO unlock comes on Oct 20.
On Oct 20 2026, about 23.6 million ZRO will be released, the first of eight monthly unlocks still left. A vote in December could turn on a fee switch that funds more buybacks and burns. People ask if the new supply will cool the rally.
