JST Just Took a Big Step Forward
On Jan 15, 2026, JustLend DAO permanently burned 525M JST.
With this round, total JST burned now sits at 1.08B tokens — nearly 11% of the total supply — all in under 3 months.
This wasn’t fueled by hype, dilution, or empty promises.
It came from real, transparent protocol profits:
💰 ~$10.2M from Q4 earnings
💰 ~$10.3M from accumulated reserves
Over $21M returned to JST holders — permanently.
*Why This Matters;
JST is quietly transforming:
❌ From “just a governance token”
➡️ To an equity-like asset backed by cash flow
Every quarter, as JustLend earns, the JST supply shrinks.
Simple. Powerful. Automatic.
*Ecosystem in Motion;
The burn is just one piece of a growing, productive network:
• $7B+ TVL across lending markets
• 9.3B TRX staked via sTRX, earning yield without lockups
• Energy Rental demand surging after fee cuts
• GasFree Wallet processing $46B+ in volume, saving users $36M+ in fees
• USDD TVL crossed $1B in under 2 months
Revenue flows → Buybacks happen → JST supply contracts → Value compounds.
*Market Impact;
The numbers speak for themselves:
📈 JST market cap surpassed $400M
📊 Trading volume jumped ~22%
📈 Price climbed double digits in the month
As supply shrinks, each JST carries more voting power, giving long-term holders greater influence and scarcity upside.
*The Takeaway;
JST isn’t chasing hype.
It’s building real, long-term value — quarter by quarter, burn by burn, ecosystem by ecosystem.
This is what productive crypto looks like.
