Perpetual derivatives protocol ApeX (APEX) announced the completion of a token burn, lowering the total supply to 600 million tokens. The cryptocurrency burn aims to potentially increase its scarcity and value. Additionally, this action is expected to positively impact the token’s market dynamics by establishing a more favorable supply-demand balance.
This action marks the third phase in its plan to decrease APEX supply by 50%, lowering it from 1 billion to 500 million to increase token value. ApeX commenced the token burns in January and conducted another tranche in April. These burns are crafted to adjust ApeX’s tokenomics with its core values.
The APEX token is integral to the ApeX Protocol, facilitating income allocation via the ApeX Staking Program, in which holders of APEX or esAPEX tokens gain a portion of trading fees. In addition, the asset will be critical for governance purposes, allowing holders to influence the roadmap and various settings.
According to the project’s tokenomics, 63.6% of the total supply is allocated for strategic DAO purposes, 14% is designated for the team, and 8.6% is reserved for early investors. Additionally, 5% is evenly split between the ApeX Trade-to-Earn program and community incentives and partnerships, 4.2% is equally divided between OG non-fungible token (NFT) holders and predator NFT holders, 2.2% is set aside for liquidity incentives, 1.1% is allocated to the BitDAO Token Swap, and 1% is allocated to the Bybit Launchpad.
ApeXers, the $APEX burn tranche 3 is now finalized, bringing the total supply down to 600M tokens.
➔ This milestone marks the 3rd step of our strategic initiative to reduce the token supply by 50%, for enhanced token value.
