October 8 supply shows the burn mechanism

CryptoTicker reported on October 8, 2026, that iFinex had issued one billion LEO in May 2019 and that the circulating supply was 919,857,851.9 LEO. A token burn permanently removes tokens from circulation by sending them to an address without an access key, so the tokens cannot be moved again.

The same report said iFinex had committed to use at least 27 percent of its consolidated gross monthly revenue to buy LEO and destroy it. The mechanism has operated since May 2019, giving the token a recurring supply-reduction feature tied to company revenue rather than to a fixed calendar schedule.

October 6 restitution adds an 80 percent pledge

A US government wallet transferred 264.863 Bitcoin to Coinbase on October 6, 2026, in connection with the 2016 Bitfinex hack, according to CryptoTicker. Bitfinex has committed at least 80 percent of the remaining net proceeds from the recovered assets to buying back and destroying LEO after Recovery Right Tokens and procedure costs are addressed.

The 80 percent commitment applies to net proceeds, not to the transferred Bitcoin itself, according to CryptoTicker. A separate overview by Chainwatch Daily dated September 24, 2026, also described the 27 percent monthly gross-revenue commitment and the additional 80 percent recovery pledge.
