JustLend DAO has completed its third JST buyback and burn, destroying 271,337,579 JST tokens worth about $21.3 million. The latest action brings cumulative JST burns to 1,356,228,332 tokens, equivalent to 13.70% of total supply.
In an announcement dated April 16, the Tron-based lending protocol said the burned tokens were sent to a black hole address. The buyback was funded by the protocol’s net income for the first quarter of 2026, along with past accumulated profits.
JustLend described the program as revenue-driven, tying each buyback to protocol profitability and framing the burns as value empowerment supported by real cash flow generated from lending spreads and other revenue sources on Tron.
With the third event, the total number of JST destroyed has reached 1,356,228,332 tokens, extending a rapid deflationary run that began in late 2025.
Earlier rounds reportedly saw JustLend wipe out roughly 1.08 billion JST across two buybacks worth nearly $40 million, or about 10.96% of supply in under three months.
Prior figures cited by other outlets indicated earlier phases of the program destroyed JST worth roughly $44.8 million, suggesting the effort is more than a symbolic supply reduction.
According to prior disclosures, the first burn occurred in October 2025 as part of a revenue-driven deflation cycle. At that time, the broader JUST ecosystem was reported to have about $12.2 billion in total value locked, roughly 46% of Tron’s on-chain TVL.
Subsequent burns in January 2026 removed another 525 million JST tokens valued at around $21 million, bringing the cumulative total to just over 1.08 billion before the latest Q1 2026 buyback.
Market reaction has been mixed. Earlier coverage noted that JST’s price hovered around $0.04 with only modest gains after the second burn, despite about 11% of supply being retired. That pattern suggested traders may have partially priced in the deflation schedule.
JustLend said it plans to continue executing quarterly buybacks and burns and to provide transparent updates to the community as the program continues.
For holders, the key question is whether a cumulative burn already at 13.70% of supply—and continuing to rise—can materially influence JST’s long-term valuation, or whether broader fundamentals and Tron DeFi demand will remain the primary drivers of price.

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
