What are the latest news regarding PYTH?
In-depth analysis
1. Token buyback program (December 15, 2025)
Overview:
The Pyth Network DAO has started allocating 33% of its monthly treasury revenues to purchasing PYTH on the open market, with an initial target of $100,000 to $200,000. This decision comes after surpassing the million-dollar mark in annualized recurring revenue by Pyth Pro.
In summary:
This buyback could reduce the circulating supply and demonstrate confidence in the utility of PYTH, even though some skeptics question its scalability and regulatory risks. The sustainability of demand depends on Pyth's ability to monetize data streams beyond DeFi. (Decrypt)
2. Cardano Integration (December 14, 2025)
Presentation:
Cardano has adopted the Pyth oracle, based on the principle of data extraction, for real-time price data, thus replacing outdated sending models. This integration aims to support advanced DeFi products such as perpetual futures.
In summary:
Despite optimism regarding the inter-chain adoption of PYTH, the stagnation of Cardano's DeFi TVL (around 40 million dollars) highlights the difficulties in translating technical improvements into user growth. Success relies on attracting liquidity to leverage PYTH's low-latency flows. ( CryptoSlate )
3. Launch of the PYTH Reserve (December 13, 2025)
Presentation:
The PYTH Reserve converts the revenues from the protocol (Pyth Pro, Core, Entropy, Express Relay) into systematic token purchases. The annual recurring revenue (ARR) of more than one million dollars from Pyth Pro in its first month demonstrates early institutional interest.
In short:
This creates a virtuous circle: revenue growth finances buybacks, which can potentially increase the token value and network adoption. However, the price of PYTH remains down 80% year-over-year, reflecting the overall weakness of altcoins and skepticism about capturing 1% of the data market, estimated at 50 billion dollars.

Conclusion
Pyth's buyback strategy and its integration with Cardano underscore its commitment to sustainable tokenomics and inter-chain interoperability, but macroeconomic difficulties and low DeFi liquidity present challenges. Will institutional adoption manage to offset the current caution of cryptocurrency investors?$PYTH
