JustLend DAO has done it again. The latest completed second batch of JST burns is quite substantial—525 million tokens were directly sent into the black hole, with a market value of about $21 million. Where does this money come from? It’s from the protocol’s net earnings in Q4 2025, combined with previous accumulated earnings.

The numbers look quite interesting. As of January 15 this year, the total amount of JST burned has exceeded 1 billion, accounting for 10.96% of the total token supply. In other words, one out of every ten JST has been permanently removed.

JustLend DAO plans to continue this pace—quarterly buybacks and burns, with regular and transparent progress updates. Whether this ongoing deflationary mechanism can support the token’s value depends on how the community and market view it. But in terms of execution, they are following through on their promises.

Wow, another round of destruction... This pace is indeed steady. But I just want to see how long this deflation can last.

Hmm... another coin burn, and this time the scale is indeed significant. A 10% burn rate sounds pretty intense. They're really executing it, not just talking about it. Can they keep up this quarterly buyback pace? Can burning save the price? It still depends on whether the market is willing to buy into it.

Burning coins again... If this continues at this rate, will it directly create a scarcity premium next year? This thing is quite interesting.

Destroy one out of ten; if this pace is to be maintained, it depends on whether the subsequent gains can keep up. Burning is burning, but the coin price still depends on whether the market is willing to buy. 2.525 billion directly into a black hole, honestly, that's a bit harsh… but regular disclosures are a plus. I've heard a lot about deflation, but the real factor that can support the market is user retention. Sticking to commitments really shows, but I don't know how long it can last.

lmao 10.96% burn rate sounds good on paper but let's actually do the math here — if they're burning quarterly at this pace, we're looking at deflation that barely offsets new emissions. gas fees alone probably cost more than the actual value accrual. tbh the real arbitrage window is watching when they announce vs when market prices it in. anyone actually tracking the MEV on these burn txs?

Burned over 1 billion tokens, this move is really something. --- It's another quarterly burn. Can it really support the price... or does it depend on whether the token holders buy in? --- One out of every ten JST tokens is burned. With such aggressive deflation, it feels a bit hollow. --- Wow, a market cap of 21 million burned in one go. If they keep going, the momentum is still there. --- Continuous deflation sounds good, but what if the market doesn't buy into this?

Laughing to death, here comes another token burn. I would call this move the "Crypto World Version of a Weight Loss Plan." One hundred million tokens into the black hole, politely called deflation, but I call it the "Last Struggle of the Little Investors." One in ten coins dies, how about that ratio? Quite particular, huh? Quarterly burns, regular progress updates, oh my, this transparency is almost like me doing financial statements. The problem is, no matter how fierce the burn is, it can't withstand our group of leek holders' fancy handovers. Ultimately, it still depends on trading volume and whether the community is buying in. Who doesn't know how to do air burns?

They're starting to burn coins again, and this time the scale is indeed significant, with 525 million directly into the black hole. Are they really doing it quarterly? Then JST's deflation this round is serious. One out of every ten coins is gone, that number sounds pretty harsh. But honestly, it still depends on whether they can truly support the price; burning coins isn't magic. Their actionability is definitely there, and the promises haven't been empty words.
