Aptos burned 174,570 APT in the past month, but gross staking issuance outpaces the burn rate, keeping the token inflationary. Aptos (APT) is trading at ₹70.52 ($0.7417), down 0.3% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Bitcoinist, with live market data added, as of Sun, 18 Oct 2026 21:00:02 UTC.
The token burn mechanism, while reducing total supply, has not yet achieved deflation due to high staking issuance, impacting investor sentiment and the token's value proposition.
- Aptos burned 174,570 APT in the past 30 days.
- Monthly staking issuance is ~1.5M APT, exceeding burn rate.
- APT price down 8.64% in 24 hours, 18.69% in 7 days.
- Token burn has not made APT deflationary.
Aptos has burned 174,570 APT over the past 30 days, according to recent data. However, the token's gross staking issuance is about 1.5 million APT per month, significantly outpacing the burn rate.
The burn mechanism, while reducing the total token supply, has not been sufficient to make APT deflationary. This is because the staking rewards continue to add more tokens to the circulating supply than are being removed through burns.
This development is particularly relevant given the current market conditions. The APT token has seen a 24-hour price decrease of 8.64% and a 7-day decline of 18.69%, reflecting broader market trends and investor sentiment.
The total crypto market cap remains around $2.77 trillion, with 
Bitcoin experiencing a 0.83% drop in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 53, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
The disparity between the burn rate and staking issuance highlights the importance of understanding the full supply dynamics of a token. Investors should consider these factors when evaluating the long-term value proposition of APT.
