TRON’s JST Burns 5.25% This Quarter: $21M Buyback Signals Aggressive Deflation vs UNI and AAVE

According to @justinsuntron, JustLend announced a buyback and burn of 525 million JST, equal to about 5.25% of total supply and approximately $21 million, bringing cumulative burns to roughly 10.75%. Source: @justinsuntron, X, Jan 15, 2026. The post states that all protocol revenue will be used for multiple JST repurchases before Oct 1, 2025, with all purchased tokens destroyed, and that after this date each quarter’s net new revenue will be used to repurchase in the following quarter with all repurchased JST burned. Source: @justinsuntron, X, Jan 15, 2026. The comparison cited in the post notes UNI’s mechanism reportedly auto-buys and burns about one-quarter to one-sixth of V2 and V3 LP fees, implying a smaller share of protocol revenue is destroyed versus JST’s full-revenue approach. Source: @justinsuntron, X, Jan 15, 2026. The post also states AAVE targets around $50 million annually (about $4.2 million monthly) for buybacks, roughly one-third of monthly protocol revenue, and allocates the tokens to treasury or reserves rather than burning them. Source: @justinsuntron, X, Jan 15, 2026. The post characterizes JST’s buyback-and-burn intensity as the strongest among DeFi lending protocols in this comparison.
