The deBridge Foundation has launched a simple yet incredibly effective strategy: utilizing 100% of the protocol’s generated revenue to repurchase its own DBR token from the market.
In just one month, this mechanism has enabled the acquisition of 1.3% of the total token supply (10 billion), amounting to nearly $3 million worth of DBR purchased on demand. Upon the foundation’s announcement, the DBR token saw its price soar, gaining over 25% in a single day.
This is not just talk. It’s tangible. A visible, traceable, and most importantly, sustainable initiative that aligns with a broader effort: building real value around the DBR token while ensuring complete transparency in the treasury.
Une stratégie claire: acheter son propre token avec tous les revenus
The Reserve Fund is now integrated into deBridge’s overall treasury, which amounts to $30.1 million. This reserve includes DBR tokens, as well as robust assets like USDC, ETH, and SOL.
And this money is not idle. The funds are deployed to generate yield:
- USDC on Ethereum is lent via Aave
- ETH is staked via Lido
- On Solana, native USDC and SOL are used on Kamino Finance
A public dashboard allows any user to track real-time DBR purchases, returns, and balances held. Enough to reassure even the most skeptical.
deBridge wants to link value and usage
DBR, issued on Solana, could have been merely a governance token. It now embodies a new generation of assets directly linked to the protocol’s activity. The logic is simple: as the protocol generates revenue, the DBR buyback increases, and the token’s scarcity intensifies.
This approach aligns with a core trend already embraced by other Web3 heavyweights like HyperLiquid, dYdX, Pump.fun, or Raydium: converting protocol revenue into value for users.
A robust protocol, a model that appeals
Since its launch in 2022, deBridge has established itself as a cross-chain liquidity transfer solution, without asset locking or wrapped tokens. A more secure architecture that limits attack surfaces.
With $10 million in annual fees according to DeFiLlama, the protocol continues to grow. The DBR token now weighs around $93 million in market capitalization for a $266 million FDV. And with this Reserve Fund mechanism, deBridge sends a strong message: value is built through actions, not promises.
