Token buybacks & burns
Updated 2026-11-14 02:10 UTC
Money protocols return to token holders: buying tokens back on the market, burning them, or paying stakers directly. Steady buybacks create real buying pressure; compared with market cap they give a "buyback yield", like a stock dividend.

Annual yield = amount returned to token holders over 30 days × 12 ÷ current market cap. For blockchains (ETH, TRX…) this is transaction fees burned. Data compiled by DefiLlama from on-chain data; protocols can change their buyback policy at any time.
DeFi data source: DefiLlama (updated 11/14/2026, 02:10 AM UTC). TVL (total value locked) is the total assets users have deposited in smart contracts; centralized exchanges are excluded. Token market caps come from our own price table.
