Token buybacks have reached a new high in 2025, with expenditures exceeding $1.40 billion, according to CoinGecko<\/a>. Hyperliquid has emerged as the top player, spending over $644.64 million on buybacks, which accounts for 46% of the total buyback spending this year. The project has repurchased 21.36 million HYPE tokens, representing 2.1% of its total supply, with an average monthly expenditure of $65.50 million.<\/p>\n

Major Players in Token Buybacks<\/h2>\n

LayerZero ranks second, having spent $150 million to buy back 5% of its ZRO token supply. Noteworthy is that this was a one-off event, with an average buyback price of $3.00. Pump.fun follows closely, with $138.17 million spent on buybacks since July, covering 3% of its total supply. The average buyback price for Pump.fun has been $0.0046, though the project faces a paper loss due to a market downturn.<\/p>\n

Solana DEX and Other Projects<\/h2>\n

Raydium, a Solana-based decentralized exchange, has spent $100.35 million on a buyback-and-burn program. This initiative has been ongoing since 2022, unlike the recent buybacks from other projects. Other notable projects include Rollbit with $27.93 million, Bonk with $27.30 million, and Sun with $3.03 million in buyback spending.<\/p>\n

Buyback Trends and Insights<\/h2>\n

In 2025, 28 projects have engaged in significant buyback activities, with varying percentages of total supply repurchased. Decentralized exchange GMX has bought back the highest share of its supply at 12.9%, spending $20.86 million. Metaplex and Sky Protocol have also made notable buybacks, with 6.5% and 5.4% of their total supplies repurchased, respectively.<\/p>\n

Token buybacks have seen a notable uptick in the latter half of 2025, with spending increasing by 85% month-on-month in July. As of mid-October, buyback spending has already reached $88.81 million, indicating a continued upward trend.<\/p>\n

The debate on the efficacy of token buybacks as a value-return mechanism continues within the crypto community. However, the significant spending in 2025 highlights the growing interest and adoption of this strategy among cryptocurrency projects.<\/p>\n
