STX, APT, and DOT have recently experienced completely opposite adjustments in their token supply models, directly impacting their long-term value logic.

STX was previously mistakenly labeled as having a total supply cap of 1.82B tokens, but in fact, it has always adopted an infinite issuance model.
In November 2025, the official confirmation of no maximum supply was made, with PoX mining continuously increasing issuance, leading to ongoing long-term price dilution pressure.
In contrast, APT and DOT have shifted from infinite inflation to a hard cap of 2.1 billion tokens, significantly tightening supply.
APT passed a governance proposal in April 2026 to halve the staking issuance rate and burn all gas fees, strengthening its deflationary properties;
DOT implemented new rules in March 2026 to drastically reduce the initial issuance and set a decreasing issuance schedule, expected to reach the hard cap by 2160.
Compared to the three, APT and DOT create scarcity value support by locking in total supply limits, while STX’s infinite supply model lacks scarcity constraints, resulting in significant long-term inflationary dilution effects and relatively weak value support.
