On April 2, Hyperliquid's official data revealed that on April 1, HyperCore repurchased 43,749.54 HYPE tokens at an average price of approximately $36.77. According to BlockBeats, the same day saw the distribution of 26,657 HYPE tokens to stakers and 24 validator nodes. After accounting for these distributions, a net total of 17,092 HYPE tokens were permanently burned, resulting in a daily net deflation of about 17,000 tokens. If this pace continues, the annual deflation rate could reach approximately 6.15 million tokens.
In comparison, Solana experiences an annual inflation of approximately 25.19 million SOL due to staking and validator node rewards. HyperCore's buyback efficiency is inversely related to price, helping to mitigate supply pressure during market cycles.
