$JST Another solid execution from the JUST team: Phase 2 of the $JST Buyback & Burn just wrapped up on January 15, 2026.
They've permanently burned 525 million $JST — roughly 5.3% of the total supply — with an estimated market value of around $21M at the time. This brings the cumulative burn to over 1.08 billion JST (about 11% of total supply gone forever since the program started).
What's particularly strong here is the funding: 100% comes from real protocol revenue — $10.19M from JustLend DAO's Q4 2025 net income plus $10.34M carried over from earlier periods. No fluff, just on-chain revenue from lending activity and USDD ecosystem earnings being recycled into buybacks and burns.
This creates a clear flywheel: more usage on JustLend/USDD → more revenue → more #JST removed from circulation → increased scarcity and potential long-term value accrual for holders.
The whole process is fully transparent, verifiable on TRON, and follows the community-approved proposal from late 2025. Quarterly burns seem locked in as the rhythm now. #JustDAO #Just

$NEO Update 🚨 : On Dec 31, 2025, Neo co-founder Erik Zhang publicly accused Da Hongfei of failing to provide transparent disclosure of the Neo Foundation's finances and demanded a full, verifiable financial report. Zhang also stated that Da Hongfei would step back from work on the Neo mainnet starting January 1, 2026, to focus on side projects like NeoX and SpoonOS.
In response, Da Hongfei countered that Erik Zhang controls the majority of Neo's treasury (NEO/GAS assets) and consensus node voting power, arguing that a blockchain project should not be controlled by one individual. Da claimed he has long advocated for transferring these assets to the Neo Foundation's multisig wallets, but Zhang has repeatedly delayed it. Da also committed to releasing a full financial report for 2025 in Q1 2026, with preliminary figures shared earlier.
🚨 $AEVO Update: Following the approval of AGP-3 (Aevonomics) in late November 2025, Aevo is set to burn 69 million $AEVO tokens (~7% of supply) soon – a one-time deflationary move alongside ongoing monthly buybacks.
No exact execution date announced yet (as of Jan 1, 2026), but community chatter points to it being imminent. Bullish for scarcity! 🔥

$APT On Dec 18, 2025, Aptos Labs proposed AIP-137 (Aptos Improvement Proposal 137), which introduces optional support for post-quantum digital signatures at the account level. The proposal adds SLH-DSA (a hash-based signature scheme standardized by NIST as FIPS 205) as an opt-in account signature type. This is designed to protect against long-term risks from cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) that could potentially break current signature schemes like Ed25519.
