  One strategy to reduce the encumbered amount of a cryptocurrency is through the implementation of a burn mechanism. This involves permanently removing a certain percentage of the cryptocurrency from circulation, thereby decreasing the total supply and potentially increasing the value of the remaining coins. However, this strategy should be carefully considered as it can have long-term implications on the ecosystem and investor sentiment.

  Another approach is to introduce a staking mechanism, where users can lock up their cryptocurrency as collateral to participate in the network's consensus mechanism. By doing so, the encumbered amount of the cryptocurrency increases, reducing its availability for trading and potentially driving up its value. Staking also incentivizes users to hold onto their coins, which can contribute to a more stable market.

  Diversifying the use cases and applications of a cryptocurrency can also help reduce its encumbered amount. By expanding its utility beyond just a speculative asset, more users may be inclined to hold onto the cryptocurrency for its practical use, thereby decreasing its availability for trading. This can be achieved through partnerships with businesses, integration into existing platforms, or the development of decentralized applications.
