deflationary

The ALEX Lab Foundation submitted governance proposal AGP-8, which plans to make structural adjustments to the ALEX protocol, including stopping the emission of ALEX community tokens, closing the treasury grant program TGP, and introducing a protocol-driven token buyback and burn mechanism. Currently, the circulating supply of ALEX is approximately 973 million tokens, close to the cap of 1 billion tokens.If the proposal is approved, the next 32 cycles will be the final ALEX emission cycles, after which there will be no new token emissions. Approximately 1.568 million STX remain unclaimed in the TGP 2024 treasury, and after a 30-day grace period, the ALEX Lab Foundation will use these funds to buy back and burn ALEX tokens at market price. Future protocol revenue will also be used for ongoing buybacks and burns after covering operational costs. This proposal aims to shift ALEX from an inflationary model to a deflationary model.

"Cathie Wood" posted on the X platform, stating that despite the rise in oil prices over the past three months, the yield curve remains flat, and the Federal Reserve has not monetized this energy shock. The bond market may begin to digest the deflationary effects brought about by AI and technology-driven productivity improvements. Currently, the costs of AI model training and inference have significantly decreased, productivity growth is accelerating, while unit labor costs remain subdued.Although the current market narrative focuses on tariffs, deficits, and structurally high inflation, underlying signals indicate that deflationary forces related to innovation are accumulating. It is expected that inflation may be below expectations in the next 6 to 9 months, which will have profound effects on interest rates and long-term stocks.

ProCap Chairman Anthony Pompliano tweeted that if oil prices continue to rise, you will hear many people say that the Federal Reserve should avoid cutting interest rates due to concerns about potential inflation.This is similar to the mistakes these people made regarding tariffs. We are in a deflationary environment, which means the importance of short-term oil prices is greatly diminished. You cannot evaluate a single input while ignoring the complex economic mechanisms. The Federal Reserve should actively cut interest rates in the first half of this year.

On October 6, 2025, SSS officially launched, focusing on full-chain operation and DAO governance, building a deflationary + dividend dual-driven economic model, anchoring the long-term value development of the crypto market.The total issuance of SSS is 21 trillion tokens, with a daily deflation rate of 3.6% synchronously promoting token destruction and LP dividends, combined with an anti-dumping mechanism to maintain market stability, establishing five permanent income sectors for LPs; the ecological side has implemented a global consensus system, laying out offline domestic and international clubs and studios, integrating value investment concepts with on-chain governance technology, ensuring returns for participants from multiple dimensions. The CZ concept will be written into smart contracts, setting a new benchmark in the 2026 crypto market deflation wave, and working together with participants to build a new ecosystem for universal profit.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua expressed on social media a continued bullish outlook on Ethereum. The reasons are as follows: First, Wall Street consensus is strengthening: The SEC chairman's latest statement that "finance is migrating on-chain," and American political and economic elites are working together to promote the tokenization of U.S. debt, with Ethereum as the core carrier. Second, the Fusaka upgrade is reshaping value: Blob fees have skyrocketed, burning over 1,500 ETH in a single day, accounting for 98%. The prosperity of L2 is strongly rewarding the mainnet, and deflation is imminent. Third, the technical landscape is extremely cleaned up: speculative leverage has dropped to a historical low of 4%, and CEX inventory is only 10%. ETH/BTC is consolidating and resisting declines, with shorts exhausted, and a short squeeze is imminent. In the interest rate cut cycle, funds are rotating from BTC to Ethereum, which has practical value.

Sonic Labs CEO Mitchell Demeter announced that the company will launch a brand new Fee Monetization (FeeM) system to implement a deflationary model for its native token S. This system establishes a tiered reward mechanism for ecosystem builders, with reward ratios ranging from 15% to 90% based on network usage. Validators will receive a fixed 10% of the fee distribution, while the remaining portion will be burned. Transaction fees on the Sonic chain are paid in S tokens.Demeter stated that this move aims to strengthen long-term value through token burns while incentivizing developers and validators. He pointed out, "Our goal is to increase deflationary intensity and enhance long-term value synergy." The system will be officially implemented through on-chain governance voting. Additionally, Demeter revealed that Sonic is about to enter a "new phase," including a U.S. expansion plan approved by governance and the introduction of certain Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) along with proprietary Sonic Improvement Proposals (SIPs) to enhance developer usability and interoperability.

何一于社交平台发文分享称，"投之以桃，报之以李。Giggle Academy 从完全不搭理，到收到社区交易费的持续捐赠，再到 Binance 决定捐出长期手续费支持 Giggle 代币，到今天的捐赠销毁，意味着 Giggle 未来会进入通缩模式。这是一场从社区单向的付出，到慈善的双向奔赴。在公链发展这条路上，没有人知道标准答案是什么，没有商业模型和价值支撑的 Meme 无法远行，有大额融资的 VC 币也未必格局，没有人知道标准答案。悲观者正确，乐观者成功。"
