Ethena proposes allocating 95% of net revenue from its branded businesses to buy back ENA tokens once the USDe stablecoin supply reaches $7.5 billion. The Ethena Foundation has also bought locked ENA tokens from seed investors and plans to accelerate unlocking remaining original investor tokens, ending monthly investor unlocks. This move aims to reduce token supply pressure and better link protocol revenue to token value. Additionally, Ethena is separating ecosystem economics from Ethena Labs equity to clarify ownership of economic benefits. ENA's price surged about 23% following the announcement, reflecting growing institutional interest and a broader crypto market rally.
