The buy and burn token model is proving to be a successful strategy for several prominent crypto projects, including Hyperliquid, VVV, and Lit. These projects are generating significant fee revenue and prioritizing token holder interests by using these proceeds to repurchase and burn their native tokens.
“all talk big games about burning their token the point of a token is to be burnt Maker had it right from the beginning all along Maker had it right who knew MakerDAO what about this what about this model works for you and is working right now do you think buy and burn”
“Well, it's more about the fact that in 2026, our leading projects with the most energy and attention and growth are doing the buy and burn model.”
“And so like hype is unequivocally very successful at it. VVV still new, like there's still a lot of VVV to be burned. But Venice, the project, Venice, the company is like, yeah, we want to, they said it on my podcast, we want to burn every last VVV token.”
