I’ve submitted Mission 67.
Vote YES if you want ICP to be seen for what it actually is.
Vote YES if you want real adoption, not just potential.
Vote YES if you believe ICP belongs much higher.

64,750 $ICP burned this month... and the multiplier hasn't even started yet. 🔥
The first step of #Mission70 is officially on the NNS, proposing an immediate 2.5x increase to replicated subnet memory prices.
Target: 70% reduction in inflation by end of 2026.
The supply shock is loading.
Stage 6 Buyback Program: Continued Structured Support for $ASTER
Starting February 4, 2026, Aster will allocate up to 80% of daily platform fees toward $ASTER buybacks:
Automatic Daily Buyback (40% of fees)—Executed automatically each day, providing consistent on-chain support and gradual supply reduction. This creates a predictable foundation for token value.
- Automatic Wallet: 0x664827c71193018D7843f0D0F41A5D0D6dcEBE0F
Strategic Buyback Reserve (20%-40% of fees)—Allocated for targeted buybacks based on market conditions. This reserve gives us the flexibility to respond to volatility and maximize value creation when opportunities arise.
- Strategic Wallet: 0xe5779AEEf4ccC5Ec4fD78f008063D7DC4D0A780c
All transactions are fully on-chain and publicly verifiable. We will provide regular updates on execution.
You can’t buy all the ICP on exchanges — and that’s exactly the point.
People see ~540–560M ICP circulating and think:
“$1B buys it all. Easy.”
That assumption is wrong.
Circulating supply ≠ liquid supply.
Only a small fraction of ICP is actually for sale at any moment. Order books are thin. Liquidity is shallow.
The moment a serious buyer starts accumulating:
• Lowest sell orders get wiped
• Price moves immediately
• Sellers pull listings
• New asks appear much higher
• Algorithms detect accumulation
• Slippage explodes
You start bidding against yourself.
Trying to buy even 5–10% of circulating ICP would likely:
• 5×–20× the price
• Drain exchange liquidity
• Force OTC negotiations
• Trigger long-term holders to reprice
• Collapse short positions
You don’t “buy the supply.”
You reprice the entire market.
And ICP is uniquely sensitive to this.
Unlike most chains, Internet Computer Protocol:
• Burns ICP for compute (cycles)
• Locks ICP via staking & governance
• Has no bridges or wrapped liquidity
• Has no rehypothecation games
• Has real infrastructure demand
Every ICP removed is gone from price discovery.
That means accumulation doesn’t just move price —
it shrinks the float.
A real $1B allocator wouldn’t market-buy anyway:
• OTC accumulation
• Strategic deals
• Long-term staking
• Governance positioning
• Gradual float reduction
That’s how Bitcoin ETFs, sovereign funds, and infrastructure allocators operate.
The key insight:
ICP’s market cap massively understates its supply fragility.
The moment ICP is treated as:
• AI infrastructure fuel
• Sovereign compute
• Always-on decentralized cloud
Price discovery becomes non-linear.
You don’t need to buy “everything.”
You just need demand to outrun liquidity.
And when that happens —
there is no ceiling, only repricing.
DYOR. $ICP
Several research reports have highlighted something big happening around #InternetComputer#ICP.
According to recent analyses by Bitget Research, TradersUnion, MEXC, and Binance Square, ICP’s new AI layer (Caffeine) and its Web3 cloud model are now being linked to emerging integrations with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and—at a narrative level—SWIFT.
Here is what is public so far:
🔵 Microsoft Azure & Google Cloud
Multiple research outlets report that Caffeine AI on ICP is integrating with Azure and Google Cloud to enable hybrid AI workloads:
– Web2 cloud for heavy inference
– ICP for state, identity, governance, and fully on-chain execution
These reports describe lower AI costs and a bridge for enterprises entering Web3.

🟣 SWIFT
Some analyses also mention “partnerships with SWIFT” in the context of ICP’s alignment with ISO 20022 and the rise of tokenized global payments.
However, no technical integration has been officially announced.
Right now, SWIFT appears mainly as a narrative-level association based on standards alignment.
(Sources: Bitget Research, TradersUnion, ICP LinkedIn posts referencing ISO 20022)
🟠 The takeaway
ICP is increasingly cited as a Web3 infrastructure layer that can plug into existing enterprise ecosystems—AI, cloud, and global payment rails.
The reports are consistent, but I will wait for official confirmations from DFINITY, Microsoft, Google, or SWIFTbefore treating these as formal partnerships.
Until then, the signal is clear:
The world is beginning to notice what a sovereign on-chain cloud actually enables.

DFINITY just introduced Mission70 — a proposal to cut $ICP inflation by reducing governance rewards and expanding burn mechanisms linked directly to real network activity.
It’s part of Internet Computer 2.0 and still requires governance approval, but the direction is clear:
Lower inflation → stronger long-term sustainability → a token model that reflects actual usage and adoption.
This could be a major shift for $ICP’s economic foundation.
$ICP 2.0 is coming, get ready for it.
When Cloudflare went down, apps onchain on the Internet Computer continued running, however... some users experieced issues where apps used Cloudflare for DNS (domain names).
So, decision made, we're going to bring that onchain too (DNSSEC + NNS + chain key).
