How did Hive do in April 2025 from an inflation standpoint? Let’s take a look!The projected inflation for Hive for 2025 is 5.5% on a yearly basis, or around 0.45% on a monthly basis. Hive has a double currency system, HIVE and HBD, with conversions between them that add or remove HIVE from circulation on top of the regular inflation. Furthermore, the decentralized hive fund DHF, that serves as a DAO converts the HIVE that is in the DHF into HBD. The @hbdstabilizer has also grown and it plays an important role in the overall tokenomics, making conversions and trading on the internal market. Because of this additional mechanics the HIVE inflation and supply can be drastically different in real time than the regular/projected one.
