We’ve now seen ~$70M in $JUP buybacks in 2025 and the price is still down ~70% from ATH, so it’s fair to ask why buybacks “haven’t worked.”
The answer is mostly inflation and supply overhang: multiple unlocks, ASR emissions, and the Jupuary airdrop created continuous sell pressure. In that context, buybacks didn’t fail, they likely absorbed a meaningful part of that pressure. Without them, price would probably be even lower.
That said, buybacks alone are not enough to make $JUP attractive. Right now the products are amazing, but the token is still weakly connected to them in terms of utility and value capture.
My take:
• Keep buybacks, but make them smarter, e.g. dynamic buybacks that are heavier when price is below a certain range and lighter when price is strong.
• Distribute part of protocol revenue to stakers, but in JupUSD instead of SOL/USDC, so value stays within the Jupiter ecosystem.
• Deeply integrate $JUP into the product: fee discounts on perps and swaps, rebates, trading rewards, and potentially use $JUP as gas for Jupnet. This creates organic demand instead of only financial engineering.
The goal isn’t just to support price, it’s to make $JUP structurally valuable because the ecosystem needs it.
I’m very bullish on Jupiter, happy the team is actively rethinking token design, and excited for what’s coming at Cat Lumpur.

Nah bro, this ain’t it. These greedy mfers.
When you think of pioneers in crypto, you think Metamask and Opensea. Both are now “farming” us, both chasing more: Rewards systems, Points, Leaderboards, Bonuses.
Who cares, man. Reward the people who built your foundation. the users, traders and creators who made you relevant in the first place.
Metamask could’ve absolutely smashed this: reward historical wallets first, then gamify the new users. Even give multipliers to OGs for sticking around and participating again.
But no, another big L from another OG juggernaut that forgot who got them here.
Probably the biggest L I’ve taken in crypto
Not in terms of $ — but in commitment
During Wormhole’s TGE, Monad received a substantial allocation: roughly 8,000 tokens each to about 1,000 Nads, totaling $10–20M in value at that time
The purple network made up of Pike (rugged), Pyth, Monad, and Wormhole was heavily promoted and hyped (tweets deleted now?)
W is now down ~95%, and the only reason most people didn’t sell at -70% was the expectation of a Monad airdrop for staked W
No airdrop now
$15K → $1K
Disclaimer: I’m still grateful for the Wormhole airdrop. It was one of my bigger ones (sold ~75%) but there’s definitely a bitter aftertaste after all this

There is a NEED for utility.
Crypto isn’t TradFi.
A token doesn’t provide legal ownership of a company. Shares do. That’s why shares are usually correlated with a company’s success. Tokens aren’t.
Best example? JUP.
Jupiter is hands down one of the best companies with the best products in the space. But everyone and their grandma knows there’s almost zero reason to hold or stake (aka lock up) JUP.
It’s honestly a mystery to me how one of the best teams can ship product after product but still miss so hard on giving their token an utility.
Again — crypto doesn’t work the same way as TradFi. We’re still tiny compared to them, and as long as we’re just a niche, you need to give a token some utility. Back in 2021 you could launch a governance token and be successful, but degens have gotten smarter. They know “governance” is just another word for “no utility” and keep as aligned as long as possible.
No utility might work in the beginning since people love to gamble and bet on future utility (see: PUMP). But after some time, when nothing happens, you need utility (see: JUP).
My guess is that companies like Jupiter are waiting for mass adoption and institutions...
Another possibility is that they (team) simply doesn’t need utility, which feels like a big f*** you to holders. This also confirms the thesis that it’s always smaller projects that are more innovative — because they need it to survive long term (see: Flashtrade).
That’s why I was quite disappointed when I read @0xSoju's tweet saying there won’t be any utility. Nothing in this space would be more bullish than a successful company (like Meteora) launching a token with an innovative concept that benefits everyone: project, team, and investors.
But with that stance, he’s basically saying: dump your tokens.
Maybe he’s just larping to wash out weak hands. But if not, the playbook stays the same:
Team and VCs eat, while long-term believers bleed.
