The batch of 5-year FIL mining contracts is about to expire, and many miners are planning to withdraw. This is actually a normal business cycle, not a sign of project failure.

What will happen when miners exit? In the short term, network hash rate will decline. But from a different perspective—since they stop mining, the daily token unlock and sell pressure will also decrease. From the market pressure standpoint, this is actually a positive signal.

The early release phase of $FIL has already passed most of its course, and the remaining part will slow down increasingly. The market supply pressure is gradually easing. This means the selling pressure has been alleviated.

For ordinary participants, waiting idly is not a good strategy. Some platforms now offer FIL fixed-term financial products with annual yields ranging from a few percentage points to double digits. Locking funds here allows participation in long-term growth while earning stable returns. Contract trading is prone to pitfalls amid volatility; it’s better to allocate part of your funds to stable accumulation and interest earning.

Interestingly, institutions are quietly taking action. Grayscale has been continuously accumulating FIL this year, with very low purchase costs and a clear strategy systematic accumulation rather than aiming for a one-step big buy. Ordinary investors can learn from this approach: increase allocation when prices fall, and maintain positions while collecting interest when prices rise.

During a bear market, treat it as a yield-bearing storage; when a bull market arrives, you not only hold tokens but also enjoy additional interest income. Market opportunities often favor those who dare to act calmly while others hesitate.
