STEPN announces major Genesis Sneaker buyback program starting December 2025

The move-to-earn platform will purchase Genesis Sneakers from both STEPN and STEPN GO collections, with every acquired sneaker being permanently burned.​

Key Details:

  • Program begins this December
  • Targets Genesis Sneakers specifically
  • All purchased sneakers will be destroyed
  • Regular updates promised
  • More details coming in next Townhall

Strategic Impact: This initiative demonstrates STEPN's commitment to supporting Genesis holders and reducing supply.​ The permanent burning mechanism could potentially increase scarcity and value for remaining Genesis sneakers.​

The company frames this as a long-term ecosystem investment, building on previous tokenomics improvements including their $50,000 weekly buyback program launched earlier.​

Stay tuned for upcoming Townhall details and program specifics.​
