Yo this was a really solid explanation of what will be affecting the price of CUB in the near future. It's easy to say "supply and demand" but what demand? And who holds the supply?

The supply is the newly minted Cub token that comes out every 3 seconds and gets divided into the liquidity pools. 1 new token every 3 seconds. Right now it's 2 new tokens every 3 seconds until the 3rd week starts (again either tomorrow or Tuesday, can't remember). Last week it was 3 tokens every 3 seconds. This week it went down to 2. Next week it goes down to 1 and stays there.
Anyway, as I said, those new tokens are divided into the different liquidity pools and the Dens. Thus, they will be going into peoples wallets. Some of those people are in it for the quick returns and the high yields and will look at selling once the yields go down since it's only going to be 1 new token per 3 seconds. They might sell their Cub into the market. Others are HODLing for the longer term. They might be buyers of cheap tokens when the others sell. NEW demand could very easily come from people who start using the LeoBridge next week and just find out about the staking rewards and the utility Cub and Leo offer. New demand could also come from current Leo/Cub hodlers who are waiting before they buy more to see if a bunch of "cheap" tokens hit the market since the yields are going down.
The supply will always be 1 new Cub every 3 seconds after this next change. To offset that, 75% of the fees generated in the liquidity pools are being used to "burn" some of the newly minted tokens. So that will limit the new supply some. Also, the LeoBridge will use 50% of the fees generated there to burn newly minted Cub tokens as well. So, depending on how much volume uses that bridge, there could be a very significant amount of Cub being burned each day.
This would cause a "shortage" in the supply on the market since the vast majority of the Cub tokens would be held in HODlers wallets. That would cause the price to go up until it reaches levels people would be willing to sell.
