The most powerful driver of $JST revaluation is its buyback-and-burn mechanism, funded directly by real protocol revenue. This isn’t narrative-driven tokenomics it’s systematic value conversion.
To date, 1.084 billion JST has been permanently removed from circulation, shrinking total supply by 10.96%. In January 2026 alone, JustLend executed a burn of 525 million JST over 5.3% of supply, valued at roughly $21 million. These buybacks are financed by verifiable net income and treasury reserves, creating a clean feedback loop: higher lending activity → higher fees → larger buybacks → greater token scarcity and intrinsic value.
Beyond lending, JustLend has evolved into core TRON infrastructure. Its Energy Rental system allows users and dApps to transact at predictable, low cost without burning TRX, dramatically reducing friction for high-frequency usage. The gas-free smart wallet, which has already processed $46B+ in volume, removes complexity entirely and accelerates mass onboarding.
On the institutional side, stUSDT brings real-world yield from tokenized U.S. Treasuries into DeFi, while USDD’s $1B+ TVL positions JustLend as the backbone of TRON’s stablecoin economy.
Together, these pillars transform $JST from a governance token into a revenue-backed asset tied to a growing financial ecosystem a blueprint for sustainable DeFi.
