Following overwhelming community approval of <strong>IIP-617<\/strong> (INJ Supply Squeeze) with <strong>99.89% support<\/strong>, the Injective team unveiled a new mechanism designed to complement its existing deflationary tools, including the <strong>Community BuyBack<\/strong> program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What the INJ Supply Squeeze Does<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its 2021 mainnet launch, Injective has actively pursued strategies to reduce INJ\u2019s circulating supply and strengthen its tokenomics. Early on, the network implemented regular token burns, and in October 2025, it introduced a Community BuyBack mechanism. Together, these measures have permanently removed <strong>6.85 million INJ<\/strong> from circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>INJ Supply Squeeze<\/strong> aims to <strong>further increase the rate at which INJ is withdrawn from circulation<\/strong>, working alongside buybacks to enhance scarcity. Injective describes this move as a step toward a \u201cstructurally enhanced deflationary model,\u201d reinforcing the token\u2019s long-term value proposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Potential Impact on INJ\u2019s Price<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-founder <strong>Eric Chen<\/strong> emphasized the strategic importance of the initiative:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe INJ Supply Squeeze, led by the Injective community, represents a decisive evolution in our monetary design. By accelerating deflation and pairing it with systematic buybacks, Injective is reinforcing INJ\u2019s scarcity and positioning it as a long-term deflationary asset aligned with ecosystem growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most deflationary crypto models aim to increase token value by reducing supply, INJ has yet to see a significant price surge, currently trading around <strong>$4.64<\/strong>. However, developments in other areas such as staked ETFs could drive future price growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Layer-1 blockchain Injective is stepping up efforts to make its native token, INJ, more deflationary.
