🔥 The bullish surge of over 100% after the activation of the destruction mechanism! JustLend DAO's deflationary flywheel reshapes value!
Since the official implementation of the destruction mechanism in October 2025, what has happened to JST? Why has it doubled against the trend and led the market rally multiple times amid volatility?
1. Mechanism Activation Timeline
1/ October 21, 2025: The JustLend DAO community proposal passes, officially launching the $JST buyback and burn plan. Funding source = protocol real revenue (lending fees, USDD ecosystem share, Energy leasing, etc.).
2/ First round execution (late October): approximately $17.7 million spent, about 5.6 million $JST burned (5.66% of total supply).
3/ Second round execution (January 15, 2026): approximately $21 million spent, 5.25 million $JST burned (5.3% of total supply).
4/ Cumulative results: 1.09B $JST permanently burned, accounting for 10.96% of the original total supply of 990 million! Circulating supply reduced to about 8.8 billion, with over $31 million remaining locked for subsequent buybacks.
This is not a one-time marketing stunt but a sustainable deflation mechanism directly linked to protocol revenue— the more the protocol earns, the more is burned, creating a positive flywheel!
2. Overview of Price Increase Data (Real Review)
1/ Before the mechanism was activated (late October 2025): $JST price around $0.032.
2/ December 2025: quickly surged to $0.045 (approximate 40% increase).
3/ By the end of March 2026: nearly 100% increase over 6 months.
4/ Latest in early April 2026: peaked at $0.06578, currently stable around $0.061, with a market cap of about $544 million.
Conclusion: After the destruction mechanism was implemented, $JST not only avoided “selling news” but also achieved a strong correlation between price and fundamentals through real supply and demand logic. Meanwhile, the TVL in the TRON ecosystem continued to rise, and JustLend DAO’s revenue remained steady, providing continuous “ammunition” for subsequent buybacks.
3. Why is this burn “really awesome”?
1/ Genuine scarcity implementation
Traditional “token burning” is often a hollow promise; this time, on-chain execution with transparent funds. 10.96% of supply has permanently disappeared, directly increasing the scarcity value of each $JST . Reduced circulating supply + continuous protocol income creates a classic “low supply + high demand” deflation model.
2/ Driven by revenue rather than hype
JustLend DAO’s TVL has exceeded $6 billion, with Q4 2025 profits supporting two rounds of large buybacks. Future USDD multi-chain expansion and TRON DeFi growth will directly translate into $JST burn funds—this is genuine value capture, not just airdrops or narratives.
3. Market confidence vote
Trading volume has repeatedly exploded (70% surge in 24h trading volume on March 19).
• Listing on new exchanges like Bitkub, boosting Southeast Asian liquidity.
• During market volatility, $JST repeatedly led the 24h gains, reflecting investor confidence in the “real deflation + stable income” narrative.
4. Comparison with other DeFi governance tokens
Many projects see their prices spike briefly after burning tokens, then fade away due to lack of sustainable funding. $JST allocates 100% of protocol profits to buybacks, upgrading governance tokens from “voting rights” to “dividend + scarcity rights,” a qualitative leap.
Summary: $JST ’s destruction mechanism is not just marketing but a model that truly links DeFi protocol income with token value. From October to now, it has doubled in value, proving with data that sustainable deflation + real revenue = long-term value reshaping.
