Filecoin’s native token, FIL, is on track for a potential deflationary shift by late 2026, driven by reduced supply and increased demand. Key factors include declining token issuance, protocol-level revenue burns, and growing collateral requirements for storage providers. Meanwhile, network usage metrics show steady growth, signaling a maturing ecosystem.

  • FIL supply could contract by late 2026 due to reduced issuance, vesting schedule completion, and protocol-level burns (FIP-100).
  • Storage providers will face higher collateral requirements in 2025 (FIP-81), locking more FIL and reducing circulating supply.
  • Network usage is growing, with a 29% storage utilization rate and a 388% increase in successful data retrievals over the past year.
