dYdX approves proposal to triple buyback rate to 75%
dYdX’s community passed a significant governance proposal on Nov. 13 to increase the share of net protocol revenue used for DYDX buybacks from 25% to 75%. The vote shifts a large portion of operating revenue toward repurchasing tokens rather than other uses, marking one of the most consequential economic adjustments at the exchange protocol to date.
The move matters because it materially changes DYDX tokenomics: higher buybacks can reduce circulating supply pressure and signal confidence in continued revenue generation, which may support market sentiment. Investors and users should watch execution details and long-term revenue sustainability, since the impact depends on how consistently the protocol generates surplus to fund repurchases. Overall, the approval underscores active governance and a pro-tokenholder allocation of protocol earnings.
