QuickSwap's governance proposal to implement the Clarity Act has passed with **unanimous community support**. All 15.3 million QUICK tokens voted were cast in favor of the measure. **Key Details:** - 100% approval rate from community voters - 15.3M QUICK tokens participated in the vote - Implementation details to be announced The Clarity Act, which has a 69% chance of becoming law in 2026 according to Polymarket, aims to provide regulatory clarity for the DeFi industry. QuickSwap's decision positions the DEX to align with potential upcoming regulatory frameworks. The community now awaits further updates on the implementation timeline and specific changes this will bring to the platform.

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.
