Six-year token vesting schedules for Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation are expected to end on October 15, 2026. Coinpedia reported that the conclusion of these schedules will remove a substantial source of new FIL issuance, resulting in a 75% reduction in token emissions.

The end of vesting is projected to lower gross annual issuance from nearly 89 million FIL to approximately 22 million FIL. According to Coinpedia, these allocations contributed roughly 66.7 million FIL in annual vesting alongside block rewards, and the supply shift may ease persistent selling pressure if demand remains steady.
