According to the latest news, Monad's developer, Category Labs, recently announced an important plan on social media: there is a possibility of repurchasing MON tokens on the open market in the first half of 2026 in accordance with relevant regulations, with a maximum repurchase scale of up to $30 million.
However, it is important to note that this is not a firm commitment. Category Labs emphasized that the specific repurchase actions will be entirely at their discretion and can be initiated, paused, or even terminated at any time. In other words, this announcement mainly reflects the team's consideration of flexible opportunistic repurchases based on market conditions, rather than a guarantee to buy a fixed amount of tokens.
From a market perspective, such repurchase plans are usually seen as a sign of the project team's confidence in its own development prospects. As the core token of the Monad ecosystem, MON's circulation and market performance will continue to attract the attention of ecosystem participants.
True confidence is buying directly, not just issuing a press release saying "Oh, maybe, maybe."
Let's talk again in 2026; after all, it's still a long way off.
Wait until they actually buy back, then we'll see.
But on the other hand, the project team dares to say this because they have some confidence.
---
Buyback is buyback, why go through so many twists and turns, just watch it anyway
---
ngl this is probably to comfort retail investors, who knows how much can actually be bought back
---
30 million? Is that really enough for an ecosystem...
---
Buyback in 2026? The flowers have withered already
---
It's that flexibility rhetoric again, basically meaning they don't want to do it if they don't want to
History has shown me that the louder the confidence is expressed, the closer it is to being tested. Instead of looking at announcements, look at the trading charts—that's where real money talks.
It's not a firm commitment, which means they could back out at any time. We understand the difficulties merchants face.
But on the other hand, having this attitude is better than saying nothing at all. At least they're still thinking about the buyback.
