On May 8, according to official news, the MegaETH Foundation announced that it completed its first MEGA token buyback on May 7, using all net earnings generated by USDM up to the end of April. This marks the official entry of its token economic model into the buyback phase. Currently, the circulating supply of USDm is approximately $480 million, and the related earnings will continue to be used for MEGA token buybacks. In the future, a programmatic and automated on-chain buyback mechanism will be gradually realized through DeFi protocols. The underlying assets of USDm are primarily composed of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds, which are managed through collateralization with the BlackRock BUIDL fund. The real earnings generated will be fully reinvested into MEGA buybacks, thereby preventing value from flowing to external stablecoin issuers. According to DeFi Llama data, the total TVL on MegaETH has reached $727.4 million, with applications on MegaETH generating cumulative revenues of $1.21 million, $437,000, and $61,000 over the past 30 days, 7 days, and 24 hours respectively, placing it among the top earners in public chains.
