January 15 News, Internet Computer (ICP) has increased by over 39% in the past week, significantly outperforming mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, making it one of the most关注项目之一 in the current market. The core driver of this rally comes from the latest MISSION70 white paper released by the DFINITY team, which explicitly proposes a systemic reform plan to reduce ICP’s inflation rate by at least 70% by the end of 2026.
Data shows that ICP once surged approximately 26% within the past 24 hours, ranking first in the single-day gains among the top 100 market cap cryptocurrencies. Against the backdrop of a warming overall market sentiment, ICP’s upward momentum is particularly prominent, indicating that capital is not only driven by the broader market but is actively pricing in fundamental changes.
The MISSION70 white paper proposes a “dual-track” inflation compression approach. On one hand, supply-side reforms aim to reduce token issuance by planning to cut voting rewards, node provider rewards, and limit the size of the reward pool, which is expected to decrease ICP’s annual minting rate from about 9.7% to 5.4%, a reduction of approximately 44%. DFINITY points out that current node rewards are significantly higher than actual infrastructure costs, leaving ample room for adjustment without compromising network security.
On the other hand, the remaining approximately 26% inflation reduction target will depend on demand-side growth. The team plans to enhance network utilization through AI-driven on-chain applications and next-generation cloud engine products, thereby accelerating ICP’s burn rate. The white paper estimates that if network activity increases significantly, ICP could face structural deflationary pressure in the medium term.
On-chain data also confirms the market’s growing confidence. Nansen statistics show that ICP’s exchange balances decreased by over 50% in the past 24 hours, typically interpreted as holders reducing short-term selling willingness. Meanwhile, Chainspect data indicates that Internet Computer’s daily transaction volume approached 90 million transactions, reaching a new high in over a month, reflecting a rebound in real usage demand.
From a technical perspective, some analysts believe that the current ICP trend is similar to the startup phase at the end of 2025. If the fundamental progress unfolds smoothly, the price may still have room to extend. The market will focus on whether the MISSION70 reforms can be implemented as planned and whether network demand growth can be sustained, which will determine whether this rebound is a temporary sentiment release or the beginning of a long-term value revaluation.
