How is new HBD entering into circulation in 2023?
Back in the days, the main way HBD was created was trough authors rewards. But now we have a lot more option for creating HBD. We can now create HBD converting HIVE to HBD, this was not possible up until July 2021, when this option was enabled with a hardfork.

HBD Created by Category in 2023
- DHF Payouts 2.5M
- Author rewards 1.6M
- HBD Savings Interest 1.1M
- Conversions 1M (excld. stabilizer)
- HBDStabilizer - 4M (negative)
As we can see the DHF has been on the top when it comes to creating new HBD in circulation in 2023 with a 40% share, then its the author rewards, the interest and the conversions from regular users, excluding the hbdstabilizer. The stabilizer on the other hand has been the only one on the other side, negative, removing HBD from circulation to a total of 4M.
When we sum it up we have a net HBD created in 2023 to a 2.1M HBD.
For compression in 2022 the supply of HBD contracted for -4.5M, while in 2021 it expanded for 9.5M.
