Internet Computer Soars on DFINITY’s ‘Mission 70’ as Exchange Balances Plunge

The rally reflects a proposed inflation overhaul alongside steep token outflows from exchanges.

Overview

  • ICP jumped as much as 34% to $4.78 on Thursday before pulling back, lifting weekly gains to about 45%.
  • DFINITY’s Mission 70 targets at least a 70% inflation reduction by end-2026, including a 44% cut from lower voting and node rewards and further declines tied to higher on-chain activity.
  • Nansen reported a 63% drop in ICP held on exchanges over 24 hours, signaling heavy withdrawals that can reduce near-term sell pressure.
  • Charts show a break above a two-month descending trendline with a weekly bullish flag forming, though resistance sits near $3.78, $4.34 and around $5.30.
  • Trading volume rose to roughly $797 million in 24 hours as momentum indicators turned positive, even as longer-term accumulation metrics remain cautious.
