Huoxun Finance News, February 19th - Aptos announced an update to its APT token economic model, shifting to a performance-driven token supply mechanism that links APT supply to actual network utilization. Specifically, the update includes the following seven key aspects: 1. Reducing staking rewards and incentivizing long-term stakers. The Aptos Foundation has proposed reducing the annualized staking reward rate from 5.19% to 2.6%. Furthermore, the Aptos Foundation is exploring a governance proposal to change the staking framework to better align incentives with long-term network participation. 2. Increasing gas fees tenfold. Aptos is currently one of the lowest-cost blockchains. Given the current low transaction fees, the Aptos Foundation will propose increasing gas fees tenfold through governance. Even after the increase, stablecoin transfer fees on the network will remain as low as approximately $0.00014. 3. Transaction utilization and fees. A new deflationary mechanism will be introduced through Decibel, a decentralized exchange protocol on the Aptos chain. High-frequency trading activity will consume and destroy APT on a large scale. 4. A hard supply cap of 2.1 billion APT is fixed. Once approved by the community, no new tokens can be minted beyond this cap. 5. The Foundation permanently locks 210 million APT. The Aptos Foundation will ensure that 210 million APT are locked and permanently staked in the network. These tokens will never be sold or distributed and are permanently locked. 6. Performance-linked grant issuance. The Aptos Foundation will primarily focus on providing future grants and rewards, which will only be cashed out upon achieving key milestones related to Aptos' role as a "global trading engine." 7. Launch of a programmatic buyback program. The Aptos Foundation has committed to exploring a protocol buyback program or reserve that will programmatically buy back APT on the open market based on market opportunities.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nick Timiraos, often referred to as the "Federal Reserve mouthpiece," wrote that the omissions in this year's Fed meeting minutes are more noteworthy. He pointed out that in multiple meetings up to December last year, staff predicted that the inflation rate would fall to 2% by 2027, but the December minutes pushed that date back to 2028. The January meeting minutes did not specify when the inflation rate would reach 2%, only stating that the figure was "slightly higher, but balanced" compared to the December forecast, and anticipating that the impact of tariffs would end by mid-year, after which inflation would return to its previous downward trend. The previous statement about "reaching 2% by 2028" was not present.
