The Ethena Foundation has bought out early investors who sold their ENA tokens, except one wallet that chose to hold. They have proposed a fee switch to fund ENA buybacks, which will be voted on by tokenholders by September 2. The buyback mechanism depends on the circulating supply of USDe stablecoin reaching certain milestones, with the first buyback trigger requiring nearly double the current USDe supply. This move aims to address concerns about the project and has already boosted ENA's price by 16%. The buyback would reduce rewards across the protocol, affecting staking and partner incentives. The Foundation expects to publish a Master Framework Agreement in October to clarify protocol ownership and economic rights.
