Abstract

This article highlights eight cryptocurrency projects that have demonstrated strong cash-generating capabilities and implemented significant token buyback programs during the bear market of 2026. These projects, dubbed "cash cows," are repurchasing their own tokens, often reducing supply. According to data from Tokenomist, the projects with notable buyback activity from January 1st to June 30th are: Meteora (MET), Pump.fun (PUMP), GMX, Rollbit (RLB), Metaplex (MPLX), Hyperliquid (HYPE), Lighter (LIT), and Aave. Notably, MET's buybacks equaled 71% of its January token supply, while HYPE executed the largest buyback by value at $283 million. Key project summaries include: - **Hyperliquid (HYPE):** The leader by dollar value, its perpetual DEX protocol has repurchased and burned 44 million HYPE tokens (approx. 4.4% of supply) using a significant portion of trading fees, with total buybacks exceeding $1.1 billion since March 2025. - **Meteora (MET):** Its buyback of 336.2 million MET tokens had the greatest proportional impact on its circulating supply, equivalent to 71% of its supply at the start of the year. - **Pump.fun (PUMP):** The popular memecoin launchpad has cumulatively bought back over $400 million worth of PUMP since July 2025, using 50% of net revenue for buybacks and burns since April. - **Aave (AAVE):** Despite facing a major security incident earlier in the year, the lending protocol has continued its buyback program, repurchasing over 200,000 AAVE token...

  • HYPE: Repurchase ratio 3% (value $283 million); Supply growth -11%;
  • LIT: Repurchase ratio 1%; Supply growth 0%;
  • AAVE: Repurchase ratio 1%; Supply growth +1%.

Among these, Meteora (MET) had the most significant impact on its circulating supply through repurchases. Its supply increased by only 13%, currently reported at 535.4 million tokens, while the repurchase volume reached 336.2 million tokens, equivalent to 71% of its January token supply. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid (HYPE) had the largest repurchase amount in dollar terms, at $283 million, accounting for 3% of its token supply, while its token supply decreased by 11% during the same period. The following are detailed introductions.

Hyperliquid: Year-to-Date Repurchase Amount Reaches $283 Million

According to CryptoBriefing statistics, since the beginning of 2026, Hyperliquid's token repurchase amount has reached $283 million, setting a record for the largest-scale token repurchase amount in the industry. As of July 3rd, its cumulative token repurchase amount has exceeded $1.1 billion.

On March 20th last year, Hyperliquid officially launched its token repurchase mechanism, stating that 97-99% of Hyperliquid's trading fees would be directly used to purchase and burn HYPE tokens. As of October last year, HYPE token repurchase funds had reached $645 million. Quarterly data shows a gradually increasing trend in repurchase scale: Q3 2025 was $316.76 million; Q4 2025 was $255.05 million; Q1 2026 was $192.25 million. Previously, the average monthly repurchase funds ranged between $65 million and $85 million.

Currently, the Hyperliquid platform has burned 44 million HYPE tokens through repurchases, representing approximately 4.4% of the total supply.

Currently, the HYPE token price is around $70. Additionally, according to DefiLlama data, as of July 5th, the Hyperliquid platform's cumulative fees are approximately $1.412 billion, and its total TVL is about $5.854 billion; annual fees are approximately $1.072 billion.

Pump.fun: Repurchased Over $71 Million Worth of PUMP Tokens This Year

In March 2024, the Meme coin frenzy ignited by the Solana ecosystem swept across the entire crypto market, and Pump.fun quickly became the hottest Meme coin launch platform at the time. Although the Meme coin hype later cooled down, Pump.fun has remained active in the crypto market, firmly positioning itself among the cash cow projects through mechanisms like token launches, product updates, and creator revenue sharing.

Data shows that Pump.fun has cumulatively repurchased over $400 million worth of PUMP tokens, covering approximately 145.5 billion PUMP. The repurchase plan started in July 2025 and has continued for 346 days cumulatively.

Since April this year, Pump.fun began using 50% of its net revenue for token repurchase and burn, with the remaining revenue allocated to operations, hiring, and acquisitions.

DefiLlama data shows that since its launch in January 2024, the platform has generated approximately $1.13 billion in fees and $1.05 billion in revenue, with fees in the last 30 days dropping to about $18.66 million.

Currently, the PUMP token price is around $0.0016.

Lighter: Repurchased Over 15.5 Million LIT Tokens This Year

As another on-chain Perp DEX platform following Hyperliquid, Lighter's answer is a combination of 'compliance + repurchase.'

Recently, Vladimir Novakovski, founder and CEO of Lighter, announced that he had joined the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Innovation Advisory Committee as a member. Previously, Lighter announced integration with Robinhood Wallet, allowing users to conduct perpetual contract trading directly through the wallet. Coupled with the token repurchase news, the LIT token price has also seen a nice rally recently.

According to an official announcement by Lighter on July 1st, since the first token repurchase began in January this year, approximately 15.5 million LIT tokens have been repurchased and burned, accounting for 6.3% of the total circulating supply.

According to DefiLlama data, Lighter's cumulative fee revenue is approximately $68 million, TVL is about $507 million, and protocol revenue over the past 30 days is approximately $2.38 million.

Currently, the LIT token price is around $2.59.

Aave: Year-to-Date Repurchase Amount Exceeds $13.7 Million

On April 9th, 2025, the Aave repurchase proposal passed with an overwhelming 99.63% support rate. According to the proposal, Aave would repurchase $1 million worth of tokens weekly for the following six months, with the first repurchase executed on April 10th.

By July last year, the protocol had cumulatively spent $10 million to repurchase 50,000 AAVE tokens, with an average cost of $199.74. Based on the market price of $264 at the time, this portion of treasury reserves had generated approximately $3 million in unrealized gains. (Supplementary reading: 'Aave's Major Economic Model Overhaul: Anti-GHO Mechanism + Token Repurchase, Boosting AAVE Price by 20%')

This year, after the massive $290+ million security incident involving KelpDAO, Aave faced a 'DeFi trust crisis' due to bad debt issues. In less than a week, outflows amounted to over $17 billion (TVL), and at one point, it faced a near $8.5 billion deposit run risk. Subsequently, through founder injections and fundraising from the DeFi United event, Aave successfully navigated the crisis, but the AAVE token and platform TVL inevitably suffered severe impacts.

Notably, by October last year, Aave's repurchased AAVE tokens had already exceeded 100,000, with a total cost of around $24 million. In March this year, Aave initiated and passed a proposal to reduce its annual repurchase budget from $50 million to $30 million. Currently, Aave's repurchased AAVE tokens exceed 200,000. At the end of last month, Aave CEO Stani stated that the team is designing Aavenomics 3.0, planning to introduce a new automated, non-discretionary repurchase mechanism, and emphasized that they 'would never sell AAVE at a 30% discount.'

According to DefiLlama data, as of July 6th, Aave protocol's cumulative fees reached $2.218 billion; TVL is currently reported at $13.4 billion.

Currently, the AAVE token price is around $89.

Meteora: Year-to-Date Cumulative Repurchase Amount Exceeds $45 Million

Last December, Meteora's official announcement stated that it had allocated 10 million USDC for repurchases in Q4 2025, recovering approximately 2.3% of MET. The total amount would continue to be autonomously executed from the same repurchase address in the future.

According to Tokenomist data, MET's circulating supply increased from 472.8 million on January 1st, 2026, to 535.4 million (total supply 1 billion tokens), a growth of 13.2%. Meanwhile, Meteora officially repurchased 336.2 million tokens, valued at $45.75 million, which accounts for 71% of its token supply at the beginning of the year.

This February, Meteora was embroiled in controversy after on-chain detective ZachXBT exposed employee insider trading. However, it ultimately weathered the storm due to its platform's deep integration within the Solana ecosystem and strong ties with the Jupiter ecosystem, remaining active in the crypto market. Recently, its second-season LP incentive event concluded, with related rewards to be distributed later.

According to DefiLlama data, its cumulative trading volume is around $322.2 billion; TVL is currently reported at $320 million; its protocol revenue over the past 30 days is $1.92 million.

Currently, the MET token price is around $0.17.

GMX: Year-to-Date Repurchase Amount Reaches $14.88 Million

As early as July 2024, GMX initiated a proposal to start repurchasing and distributing GMX tokens. In November last year, GMX proposed to increase the coverage of repurchase and distribution fees from 27% to 90%, and raise the allocation ratio for the GMX Treasury to 73% to support the token repurchase and airdrop mechanism. It was estimated that monthly GMX repurchases would increase to 345,534 tokens, with a repurchase value reaching $8.489 million.

As of October 23rd last year, GMX repurchases were approximately 1.33 million tokens. Subsequently, GMX continued its token repurchases. In March this year, the GMX DAO passed a governance plan to adjust repurchases and liquidity to restore price discovery.

According to an official GMX announcement on July 1st, between March 5th and June 30th this year, a total of $1.965 million was spent to repurchase 313,650 GMX tokens at an average price of $6.27, with Q2 repurchase funds amounting to $1.41 million. According to Tokenomist data, GMX's current repurchase ratio is approximately 41.22%.

According to DefiLlama data, GMX's cumulative trading volume is close to $330 billion; TVL is currently reported at $175 million; protocol revenue over the past 30 days is approximately $662,000.

Currently, the GMX token price is around $5.86.

Beyond the above platforms, the token repurchase mechanisms of Rollbit, an online gambling platform focusing on 'GambleFi,' and Metaplex, a Solana ecosystem asset issuance platform, are more niche.

Among them, the former's RLB token executes automatic hourly repurchases and burns, primarily using platform revenue (10% from casino, 20% from sports betting, 30% from 1000x futures, etc.) to purchase RLB on the open market. After purchase, 90% is permanently burned (reducing supply), and 10% is distributed to Rollbots NFT stakers (incentivizing holders). According to official website information, the cumulative token repurchase value over the last 6 months is approximately $12.5 million.

Currently, the RLB token price is around $0.065.

The latter uses 50% of protocol fees monthly to repurchase MPLX. The repurchased tokens are allocated to the Metaplex DAO treasury (held rather than immediately burned, but enhancing scarcity and governance value); the remaining 50% is used for foundation development. Currently, the MPLX token price is around $0.036.

Of course, token repurchase and burn do not necessarily guarantee price appreciation, as they are also influenced by factors such as market conditions, news events, product updates, and token unlocks. However, in the current lackluster market, crypto projects capable of consistently generating stable cash flow are already remarkable 'money-making machines.'

Ethereum Sheds Its Load? What Ethereum Supporters Think About the Lean Ethereum Upgrade and the Future Market

Ethereum is back in focus with the announcement of the "Lean Ethereum" upgrade roadmap, described by Vitalik Buterin as Ethereum's third major update. This proposal aims to fundamentally redesign the consensus, data, and execution layers from first principles, striving to make Ethereum **simpler, more secure (quantum-resistant), more verifiable, and more scalable.** The announcement comes amidst a broader restructuring within the ecosystem, including a 20% staff reduction at the Ethereum Foundation and the emergence of new organizations like EthLabs. This has sparked a debate among Ethereum supporters ("E-bizens"). **Optimists** view Lean Ethereum as a critical refocusing on core protocol fundamentals: * **sassal.eth** calls it the ultimate bullish catalyst, envisioning a future where running a node is so lightweight it could be done on a smartwatch, greatly enhancing decentralization. * **Ryan Sean Adams** sees it as Ethereum moving from "narrative expansion" to "protocol hardening," addressing long-term foundational issues like security and scalability. * Analysts like **BITWU** and **蓝狐 (Blue Fox)** frame it as a third-phase evolution towards a "minimal, durable, and credible base layer" designed for the next decade. * **gigi发财猪** interprets the organizational changes as Ethereum "shedding old baggage and forming new teams" for a lighter, more agile approach. * **Xiyu** notes that the roadmap itself provides a much-needed new narrative for market sentiment recovery. **Cautious voices** acknowledge the vision but emphasize execution and market timing: * **Ignas** warns that while the roadmap addresses key community requests, it overlooks tokenomics, and competitors are gaining ground in areas like RWA. Timely delivery is crucial; delays could be bearish. * **Dankrad Feist**, a former Ethereum Foundation researcher, agrees on direction but criticizes the proposed 3-4 year timeline as too slow for the current market pace, especially with AI-aided development available. **In summary,** optimists believe Lean Ethereum reaffirms Ethereum's long-term value proposition as a decentralized world computer, while the cautious argue that its success hinges on faster delivery and tangible results to maintain market relevance. Despite ongoing criticism, the move signals Ethereum's effort to regroup and reclaim initiative at the protocol level.

AI Folding: Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Are Becoming the Privilege of a Few

【AI Accessibility Gap Widens: Elite Tools Like Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Are Becoming Privileged】 We are witnessing a growing "AI divide." A stark reality is emerging: a tiny fraction of elites, primarily in tech, are using powerful next-generation models like Fable 5 or the upcoming GPT-5.6, while the vast majority of the public only has access to "toys" - free, limited models equivalent to ChatGPT's basic versions (8B to 30B parameters). This creates a massive experiential chasm and cognitive dissonance. Industry outsiders see AI as overhyped and ineffective, unable to grasp its transformative potential, while insiders leverage these advanced models for a decisive competitive edge. The gap isn't just about model quality but product functionality. Free users get a simple chatbot. Paying elites get integrated workflow systems—capable of creating specialized agents, processing complex data, and handling real-world tasks like management, coding, and planning. Demos showcasing AI planning weddings or building apps feel disconnected from everyday needs like managing bills, groceries, or health. The cost barrier is immense, with reports of engineers spending $1000 daily on Fable 5 inference. Elite users employ sophisticated multi-model workflows, combining different AIs for ideation, architecture, execution, and review, completing complex projects in minutes instead of weeks. This divide extends to critical areas like healthcare, where free models are dangerously unreliable for medical queries. However, some argue that for 90% of common business tasks, mid-tier models like GPT-5.5 are sufficient; the perceived limitation often stems from poor integration and lack of context, not model intelligence. Ultimately, unequal access to cutting-edge AI is creating a new form of social stratification, where the most powerful tools are becoming the exclusive privilege of a few.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing.

Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products.
