If FIP.16’s inflation cut, FIRE buyback-and-burn mechanics, and staged MEV capture rollouts all execute alongside completed investor burns and growing FXRP/FBTC utility driving TVL and fees ... flare-networks:native supply dynamics could compress enough that a $1 market price becomes a realistic outcome in 2026 rather than pure wishful thinking. FIP.16 formalizes a 5%→3% inflation cut, a lower annual issuance cap, and a FIRE entity to channel network revenues (including MEV) into buybacks and burns; Flare already announced a 2.1B flare-networks:native investor burn in 2024 and reports expanding #FAsset activity and TVL that feed protocol revenue. The bull case still hinges on timely, secure implementation, sustained $FXRP/ $FBTC demand and broader crypto market strength. These are the verified breadcrumbs — imagine the market when the full loaf finally lands. @FlareNetworks
