The JST token has completed its second significant buyback and burn, eliminating 525 million tokens, or 5.3% of its total supply, on January 15, 2026. This initiative, valued at over $21 million, underscores the JUST ecosystem's commitment to a deflationary model, with a total of 1,084,890,753 JST tokens, or 10.96% of the supply, now permanently removed. The burn reflects JST's transition from a governance token to an equity asset linked to ecosystem cash flow. The buyback was supported by JustLend DAO's strong financial performance, with $10.19 million from Q4 2025 profits and $10.34 million from surplus reserves. JustLend DAO's total value locked surpassed $7.08 billion, and its innovative products like sTRX and Energy Rental have expanded its revenue streams. Additionally, the USDD stablecoin's TVL reached $1 billion, contributing to JST's deflationary strategy. This model ties JST's value to ecosystem profitability, enhancing its market position and governance power.
