HYPE assistance fund just announced a major move: the foundation's entire 37 million HYPE token holdings—valued at roughly 1 billion dollars—are heading toward a burn event. That's a significant token supply reduction pending validator approval. Once the community votes in favor, a full billion dollars worth of HYPE tokens gets removed from circulation. It's the kind of deflationary move that can reshape tokenomics pretty dramatically. Waiting for the validator consensus to officially lock it in.

According to the database, it may take several more months before the announced destruction is actually carried out. It has been half a year since the last promise, and the cake has already fermented thoroughly.

Whoa, burning a billion dollars directly? If the vote passes, I might just vomit.

Billion dollars burned directly? That's a really ruthless move. We'll have to see how the voting results turn out.

wait hold up... they're burning a billion dollars worth but the math here doesn't check out. if foundation just dumps this "randomly" into the void, what's the actual mechanism preventing this from being theater? seen this exact playbook in 2021.

Whoa, a billion dollars directly burned? Is this a joke? --- Waiting for the validators' vote, don't get too excited... --- Another deflationary play, can it really pump the price? Haha --- 37 million tokens gone, the supply has drastically shrunk, this time it's real --- Ten billion just disappeared like that, the foundation is really generous --- Community voting approval is key, hoping it doesn't lead to a dump --- Deflation measures sound aggressive, but the price of the coin speaks for itself

ngl, burning $1B in tokens sounds great on twitter but let's see if the velocity trap actually bites them here... sustainable tokenomics or just another supply shrink cope?
