Ethena Foundation bought locked ENA tokens from early investors who sold after October 2025, ending the monthly token unlock schedule by October 5, 2026. This move helped push ENA's price up nearly 100% in a month. A governance vote is underway to start buybacks using protocol revenue once the USDe stablecoin supply hits $7.5 billion, potentially boosting demand further. However, buybacks won't begin until USDe supply grows significantly, and a major holder outside the deal remains. The market is watching USDe growth and the vote outcome for future price direction.
