The TRON ecosystem has made another big move. JST's latest buyback round reached 525 million tokens, equivalent to about $21 million USD. This speed is extraordinary—an average of $239,000 worth of tokens destroyed daily, which translates to about $10,000 burned every hour. This burning pace is actually similar to BNB's destruction speed, both belonging to the industry’s high-end.

Sun Yuchen's approach is very straightforward: all JST buybacks come from protocol revenue, and the money earned is directly used to buy back and burn, with no other tricks. So far, they have repurchased 10% of the circulating tokens, which is quite a significant investment among mainstream projects.

Another point worth noting is the growth of the ecosystem itself. The total locked value (TVL) in JustLend DAO has surpassed $7.08 billion USD, indicating that user confidence in this DeFi system continues to grow. From tokenomics design to ecosystem scale, the TRON chain seems to have found its rhythm on the path of self-sustenance.

Sun Yuchen's buyback strategy is indeed aggressive, with a tight grip on the pace of spending.

President Sun's buyback is essentially watering JST, burning over ten thousand dollars every hour. It really is a heavy investment. But on the other hand, just burning coins without making a profit will eventually lead to being harvested; the key is whether the ecosystem can truly generate value... Locking over 7 billion sounds impressive, but we must be cautious of those fleeting liquidity mining traps.

Sun Yuchen's recent move is indeed quite aggressive; burning $10,000 every hour—how much can he be earning?

Burning money every day, how long can this pace last? To be honest, it's a bit unsustainable.

Sun Yuchen is playing quite aggressively, burning $10,000 every hour. This pace is really not to be taken lightly. The move to buy back 10% of the circulating supply is indeed quite aggressive for mainstream projects; now it's just a matter of whether they can keep it up. They have locked over 7 billion, and you have to admit that TRON's ability to generate value is indeed strong. Burning money every day, why isn't the token price going up? That's the key. Faster than BNB's burn rate? Then why isn't the hype as high as theirs? Sun Yuchen finally remembers to do something practical. This buyback logic is actually quite simple: make money and then destroy it. It has that familiar feel.
