✦ Understanding the Importance of Value Accrual for Cryptocurrency Tokens:

The concept of value accrual in cryptocurrency tokens is gaining attention, especially when projects announce buybacks or revenue sharing. For instance, Solana $SOL's DEX aggregator, Jupiter $JUP, revealed a plan for a $750 million annual JUP buyback, representing 40% of its circulating supply. While buybacks can help mitigate selling pressure, their effectiveness is questioned as tokens can still experience significant price drops. Other protocols like Compound and Aave $AAVE have proposed similar initiatives, but only Starknet and Gnosis have effectively implemented them, with mixed results in token performance.
