Token buybacks are becoming a major trend in crypto.


According to the Financial Times, crypto groups have spent a record ~$640M on buying back their own tokens in 2026 so far. Hyperliquid and Pump.fun have driven nearly 90% of this activity.
The trend shows how more crypto projects are using revenue to support token value and strengthen investor confidence.
But buybacks alone don’t guarantee price growth.

Hyperliquid and Pump.fun account for 90%? That level of concentration is a little scary—what if they shut down?

Buybacks + burns are the ultimate game-changer; buybacks alone only provide short-term pain relief.

640M sounds like a lot, but compared with traditional finance, it’s still tiny. Crypto is still in its early stages.

Buybacks can indeed boost confidence, but it depends on whether the project team is using real money or merely moving funds from one hand to the other.
