dYdX Soars Nearly 11% After Buyback Program Announcement

The price of dYdX (DYDX) soared by almost 11% within minutes after the reveal of its inaugural buyback program, peaking at $0.76 before stabilizing around $0.7124— reflecting a 7.38% increase over the past 24 hours. 

The announcement fueled a dramatic rise in trading activity, with the 24-hour trading volume surging 270.84% to $41.1 million. As a result, dYdX’s market capitalization has reached approximately $542.67 million.  

The newly introduced buyback program will dedicate 25% of the protocol’s net fees to repurchasing DYDX tokens directly from the open market. These repurchased tokens will then be staked to enhance network security, which could also reduce the circulating supply over time. 

This breakthrough comes alongside significant strides for dYdX. The platform is introducing substantial upgrades, such as Spot Trading, Multi-Asset Margining, and EVM compatibility, all crafted to pull in more users and heighten trading activity. Over the past year, dYdX has managed an remarkable $270 billion in trading volume, elevating its lifetime total to a striking $1.46 trillion.  

At the same time, the broader crypto market is riding a wave of optimism, with the total market capitalization increasing by 3.34% to $2.87 trillion in the last 24 hours.
