Aave DAO has unveiled an ambitious proposal aimed at establishing a long-term buyback program for its native tokens. This initiative, which could allocate up to $50 million annually, is designed to enhance the tokenomics of Aave and provide a stable mechanism for supporting its market value. According to the results published in the material, this program could significantly impact the overall ecosystem.
Proposal Submission by Aave Chan Initiative
The proposal was submitted on Wednesday by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) and seeks to institutionalize buybacks as a permanent feature of Aave's financial strategy. The plan outlines that the Aave Finance Committee (AFC) and TokenLogic will oversee the repurchase of Aave (AAVE) tokens, with weekly buybacks ranging from 250,000 to 1.75 million tokens, contingent on market conditions, liquidity, and volatility.
Next Steps for the Proposal
If the proposal receives approval, it will enter the Aave Request for Comment (ARFC) phase, allowing community members to provide feedback before moving to a Snapshot vote and final on-chain governance confirmation. This initiative is positioned as a strategic shift from short-term market interventions to a more sustainable approach, effectively transforming the DAO into an active capital allocator.
Building on Previous Success
The ACI highlighted that this buyback program builds on the success of previous initiatives, notably a $4 million token buyback that led to a 13% increase in Aave's value in April. This new proposal aims to further solidify Aave's market position and enhance investor confidence in the long run.
Concerns are growing among industry experts regarding a new regulatory proposal in Uruguay that could impact smaller players in the market. This initiative contrasts with Aave's recent buyback program aimed at enhancing its tokenomics. For more details, see regulatory proposal.
