Analysis

Aptos put forward a significant tokenomics overhaul in February 2026 that proposes a 2.1B APT hard supply cap, cuts staking rewards from roughly 5.19% down to 2.6%, and introduces 100% gas-fee burning -- changes aimed squarely at long-standing inflation criticism, though the proposal still requires full governance approval and phased implementation. Network fee revenue has shown sharp year-over-year growth, suggesting increasing real usage of the chain. However, monthly token unlocks continue, with roughly 60% of total supply still to be released over coming years, creating an ongoing overhang that could offset the benefits of the proposed cap. The combination of improving fundamentals and persistent unlock pressure explains the continued cautious positioning on the token.
