Jupiter (JUP) Gains Amid $3B Token Burn and Buyback Plan
The post Jupiter (JUP) Gains Amid $3B Token Burn and Buyback Plan appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Jupiter announces two crucial strategies to reduce emissions – launch a buyback strategy and burn $3.6 billion worth of JUP. Under the buyback strategy, 50% of the protocol fees would be used to make additional purchases, while the remaining 50% goes into the growth initiative. Jupiter (JUP) defies the odds as it suddenly flips its bearish trend into a bullish one amidst the ongoing broad market pullback.

After this, the acquired tokens would be kept in a “long-term litterbox” to stabilize their value over some time. Meanwhile, the remaining 50% would go into the growth initiative and sustain the platform’s operations.
