13 of 15 buyback-model tokens have outperformed BTC this year: DWF Labs

Of 15 tokens that have operated or announced buybacks or other holder value-return mechanisms this year, 13 have outperformed Bitcoin in year-to-date returns, according to a DWF Labs report. The report said HYPE and PUMP posted the strongest returns in the group, with 95% to 99% of revenue and 50% of net revenue, respectively, allocated to buybacks. By contrast, SYRUP has fallen about 45% year to date after reducing the share of revenue earmarked for buybacks, while LDO introduced an automated buyback system but has not yet executed actual purchases. DWF Labs said the findings show that beyond having a value-return mechanism, what matters is not only a token’s revenue scale but also the ability to return that value to holders on a sustained basis.
