Origin Protocol has completed a **50 million $OGN token buyback**, with 80% of the volume occurring in the last six months following the approval of their buyback proposal. **Key developments:** - Protocol fees now directly fuel the buyback program - Staking rewards have significantly accelerated - Maximum locked $xOGN tokens currently earn approximately **33% APY** The buyback mechanism represents a shift in how the protocol redistributes value to token holders. By using protocol-generated fees to purchase tokens from the market, Origin creates consistent buying pressure while rewarding long-term stakers. The **33% APY** for maximum locked positions makes $xOGN one of the more attractive staking opportunities in DeFi, though returns likely vary based on lock duration and market conditions. Origin has set their sights on reaching **100 million tokens** in total buybacks, suggesting this program will continue as protocol revenues grow.
