Governance Votes for a Large-Scale Buyback to Support ETHFI Price Stability
The Ether.fi DAO authorized a treasury deployment buyback program with near-unanimous community support, securing 99% approval for up to $50 million in buybacks. The buyback targets ETHFI tokens trading below the $3 threshold and will continue until the cap is reached or the price exceeds this mark. This strategy reflects a dynamic approach to market stabilization, with buybacks scaled according to protocol revenues generated mainly through staking and DeFi partnerships. All repurchase transactions will be executed transparently on-chain and reported via the project’s Dune Analytics dashboard, building trust through accountability.

Ecosystem Expansion and Market Outlook Signal Strength for Ether.fi
Ether.fi’s ecosystem has experienced rapid growth, with over $700 million in total value locked, supported by integrations with major DeFi platforms, including Plasma, Aave, and FalconX. The platform’s innovative “defibanking” initiative, anchored by the Ether.fi Cash Card facilitates millions in daily transaction volume, including cashback rewards and fiat transfers. Strategic partnerships with Visa, Sharplink, EigenCloud, and Anchorage Digital bolster Ether.fi’s positioning as a DeFi-native banking alternative. Despite volatile market conditions, analysts view the $50 million buyback authorization as a strong indicator of investor confidence and a sustainable revenue model. Historically, November has been a better month for crypto markets, which may further stimulate demand for ETHFI during the ongoing DeFi recovery cycles.
Meanwhile, UXLINK initiated its first token buyback in mid-October this year, using funds recovered from exchanges such as Bybit and Bitget. This is part of a plan to address an $11.3 million security breach and compensate affected users via a community-approved Swap & Compensation Plan. UXLINK is also implementing a comprehensive security overhaul, including the migration to a new Ethereum contract and the integration of hardware wallets, to rebuild trust and enhance platform resilience.
