The long-anticipated rebranding of Pundi AI’s native token has officially gone live. As of today, February 25, 2025, the company has changed its ticker from $FX to $PUNDIAI while significantly reducing its token supply. This strategic shift aims to strengthen the token’s long-term value and market position.
Token Supply Slashed by 100:1
One of the most notable aspects of this upgrade is the dramatic 100:1 reduction in token supply. Before the change, Pundi AI had a maximum supply of approximately 1.89 billion tokens and a circulating supply of around 795 million.
After the upgrade, those numbers have been drastically cut:
- New Maximum Supply: ~18.9 million tokens
- New Circulating Supply: ~7.95 million tokens
By reducing supply, Pundi AI aims to create a scarcity effect. If demand remains steady or increases, this could lead to an uptick in token value. More importantly, the change reflects a strong commitment to sustainability, assuring investors of the project’s long-term vision.
No Action Needed for Most Token Holders
For those holding $FX on centralized exchanges, the transition to $PUNDIAI is fully automated. No manual action is required—exchanges will automatically handle the swap.
Similarly, if your $FX tokens are stored on Pundi AIFX Omnilayer, there’s nothing to worry about. Whether your tokens are staked or unstaked, they will be seamlessly converted to $PUNDIAI.
But there’s an exception.
Manual Upgrade Required for Base and Ethereum Holders
If you’re holding $FX tokens on the Base or Ethereum networks, you must manually upgrade them to $PUNDIAI. This step is necessary because these networks do not support an automatic conversion.
Alternatively, users can bridge their tokens to Pundi AIFX Omnilayer, which will then trigger an automatic upgrade. This route might be more convenient for those who want to avoid manual conversions.
Staking Rewards Stay Intact
For those staking $FX tokens, there’s good news—your rewards will not be affected by the upgrade. The staking program has already been updated to accommodate $PUNDIAI, and users can continue earning rewards on platforms like MarginX and Baklava Space.
This ensures that token holders can still generate passive income while benefiting from the new token structure.
Market Reaction and Future Outlook
A supply reduction of this magnitude often triggers market speculation. Will $PUNDIAI become more valuable? That depends on multiple factors, including demand, overall market conditions, and investor sentiment.
Scarcity alone isn’t enough to guarantee price growth, but historically, tokens that undergo significant supply reductions tend to attract attention. Investors will be closely watching how trading volume, liquidity, and adoption evolve over the coming months.
For now, Pundi AI’s latest move signals a serious commitment to token economics, aligning with strategies used by successful crypto projects to boost long-term sustainability.
