QuickSwap executed a significant token buyback program, purchasing **2.981 million QUICK tokens** over a seven-day period. **Key Details:** - The buyback represents **0.2981% of the total token supply** - This continues a consistent buyback trend, with previous weeks showing similar activity (2.294 million QUICK the prior week) - The program demonstrates ongoing commitment to reducing circulating supply These buybacks are part of QuickSwap's tokenomics strategy, systematically removing tokens from circulation. The consistent weekly buybacks suggest a structured approach to supply management rather than one-off events. For QUICK token holders, this represents continued deflationary pressure on the token supply through systematic market purchases.

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.
