In October 2026, Injective implemented a Community BuyBack mechanism, burning over 7.2 million INJ tokens using monthly ecosystem revenue. Despite this reduction in circulating supply, the INJ token experienced significant price volatility, dropping 9.34% to $8.28 on October 22 due to increased deposits into centralized exchanges and potential wash activity.

By late October 2026, the price continued to face downward pressure, trading at approximately $7.09. This decline was attributed to broader selling pressure within mid-cap cryptocurrency assets rather than specific protocol changes. Market indicators showed mixed signals, with spot trading volumes appearing higher than on-chain activity, while technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index remained in a neutral zone.
