How Does Token Staking Directly Reduce Token Velocity?
Token staking directly reduces velocity because the staked tokens are locked up for a specified period, making them illiquid and unavailable for immediate trading. This effectively removes them from the circulating supply used for transactions, decreasing the rate at which the average token changes hands.
The higher the percentage of the total supply that is staked, the lower the token velocity, which supports a higher price for the remaining liquid supply.
