market cap = supply x price
As an example for 5,000 supply at $2: $10,000 = 5,000 * $2
Whenever STA is traded between wallets, 1% gets burnt. Now let’s assume two things:
1- Volume of 50,000 STA gets traded, causing 500 STA to get burnt reducing the supply to 4,500
2- Ignore the demand/price force for STA’s utility (for now)
Since we are ignoring demand, the market cap will remain the same. This burn will therefore cause price to increase:
10,000 = 4,500 x p, which means price should theoretically be pushed to 2.22.
This price increase will cause the STA value in Balancer (or Phoenix) to increase, forcing the pool to rebalance. Rebalancing means selling STA and buying the other 4 coins to keep
the percentages as initially agreed upon (50 ETH / 20 STA / 10 BTC / 10 SNX / 10 LINK). Now remember, selling STA will cause STA to be burnt again (supply decreasing), causing a ripple effect: the cycle will keep repeating itself at a decreasing rate, even if no further human-triggered trades happen.
