A decrease in the net flow of staked tokens suggested a reduction in the overall amount of AVAX being staked or locked in the network’s validator nodes.

This decrease may indicate a lack of confidence among token holders in staking their AVAX, potentially signaling concerns or uncertainties about the network’s performance, security, or future prospects.
