QuickSwap executed a buyback of **2,750,500 QUICK tokens** over the past week, marking an increase from the previous week's 2,207,500 tokens. **Recent buyback activity:** - March 18: 2,750,500 QUICK - March 10: 2,207,500 QUICK (~0.23% of supply) - March 4: 3,249,000 QUICK - February 12: 3,437,500 QUICK (0.34% of supply) The DEX continues its consistent token repurchase strategy, with buybacks occurring weekly. The program aims to reduce circulating supply and support token value for the Polygon-based decentralized exchange.

QuickSwap has launched a new **USDbC-USDT liquidity farm** on Base network, offering approximately **172% APR** for stablecoin pair providers. **Key Details:** - Farm exclusively available on [QuickSwap](https://dapp.quickswap.exchange/farm?chainId=8453) - Pairs bridged USDC (USDbC) with Tether (USDT) - Significantly higher yields compared to typical stablecoin farming rates This follows QuickSwap's expansion on Base, where they previously launched five farms in August 2025 with yields up to 119% APR. The new farm provides an opportunity for stablecoin holders to earn passive income while maintaining exposure to dollar-pegged assets.

QuickSwap executed another weekly buyback, purchasing **2.294 million QUICK tokens** and removing **0.2294% of the total supply** from circulation. **Recent buyback activity:** - Week of Jan 27: 2.294M QUICK (0.2294% of supply) - Week of Jan 20: 2.08M QUICK (0.208% of supply) - Week of Jan 13: 3.9M QUICK (0.3917% of supply) The DEX has maintained consistent buyback programs throughout early 2026, systematically reducing token supply. These buybacks use protocol revenue to purchase tokens from the open market, creating deflationary pressure on the QUICK token. The cumulative effect of these weekly buybacks represents a meaningful reduction in circulating supply over time, potentially benefiting existing token holders through increased scarcity.
