Houdini Swap

**Solana (SOL) has returned to the #1 spot** in last week's top-performing tokens rankings.

**Houdini Swap executed massive buybacks**, removing nearly 0.3% of total token supply in just one week. This follows a pattern of aggressive supply reduction: - **October**: 2.42% of circulating supply bought back in one week - **December**: 0.3% of entire supply eliminated **Supply reduction at this scale** suggests strong revenue generation and commitment to tokenomics. The consistent buyback program indicates sustainable business operations. The phrase *"See the writing on the wall?"* hints at significant developments ahead for the privacy-focused protocol.
