At the beginning of January, the co-founder of JUP tweeted, triggering a discussion in the market about token repurchase.


Since January 2025, the project party began to repurchase #JUP, but still failed to stop the price from falling.

In contrast, the repurchase of #DBR started from June 25 and can have an immediate effect.

On one hand, the price of the token rises after the repurchase.

On the other hand, it is very obvious that a watershed has formed; before the repurchase, DBR was weaker than JUP, while after the repurchase, DBR was stronger than JUP.



Brother Bee compares and analyzes the token repurchase game from three dimensions.

┈┈➤Timing

╰┈✦The start time of JUP buyback is January 2025

This obviously stands at the beginning of the four-year cycle bull market of crypto. However, the reversal lies with Trump.

The tariffs initiated by Trump in 2025 greatly disrupted the macro environment, on one hand triggering a trade war.

Secondly, the tariffs triggered the Federal Reserve's expectations for inflation, thus the Federal Reserve did not lower interest rates from January to August 2025, and continued to reduce its balance sheet from January to November. The degree of liquidity tightening is not high, but it still has a certain negative impact on the speculative market. The vast majority of Altcoins showed a downward trend in 2025.

╰┈✦The start time of DBR buyback is June 2025

The start time of the DBR buyback is after Trump increased tariffs, when both sides of the trade war showed signs of easing. The US and China began efforts towards reconciliation in May.

BTC bottomed out in April 2025 and began to rise.

┈┈➤Geopolitics

╰┈✦Jupiter is the leading DEX in the Solana ecosystem

Jupiter is the leading DEX in the Solana ecosystem, which is its advantage but also its limitation.

We know that from November 2025 to Q1 2026, the Solana ecosystem experienced three waves of AI+MEME, AI Agent, and Celebrity MEME. However, after Trump launched his coin, the overall heat of the Solana ecosystem has declined.

╰┈✦Debridge is a cross-chain ecosystem

Debridge is a cross-chain ecosystem. For example, during the Chinese MEME heat on the BSC chain, funds net flowed out of Solana while funds net flowed into the BSC chain, with Solana's funds flowing to the BSC chain through Debridge.

Therefore, the Debridge ecosystem will not be locked to any specific public chain, and the ecosystem and protocol revenue of Debridge will be relatively more stable.

No matter which ecosystem is hot, funds will flow across chains through Debridge.

┈┈➤JUP and DBR buyback ratios are different

Jupiter uses 50% of its protocol revenue to buy back JUP, while Debridge uses 100% of its protocol revenue to buy back DBR.

Thus, DBR receives more value support.

┈┈➤JUP and DBR buyback disclosures are different

Debridge dynamically discloses protocol revenue and buyback status on its foundation website. The daily protocol revenue and the DBR held by the foundation are clearly visible!


You can directly visit the Debridge foundation website at debridge.foundation to view the above image, or you can go to the Debridge official website and click on 'DBR' in the navigation bar to access the site.

The project party has very simply linked the foundation site to 'DBR'!

100% buyback + comprehensive dynamic disclosure has won more hearts for DBR.

┈┈➤In conclusion

First of all, when we talk about buybacks, we should not discuss the right or wrong of so-called 'market value management'.

Next, let's compare the buybacks of JUP and DBR:

First, JUP itself is a very excellent project, but its buyback is poorly timed, while DBR's buyback timing takes into account the crypto cycle and macro patterns.

Second, JUP's buyback is limited by the rise and fall of the Solana ecosystem, as its buyback coincides with a period of lower heat for Solana, while DBR's buyback is relatively more stable due to its broad cross-chain ecosystem.

Third, JUP's buyback strength is not thorough enough, while DBR uses 100% of its protocol revenue for buybacks, along with comprehensive and dynamic disclosure, which can win more hearts.

Remember @thecryptoskanda once talked about buybacks, thinking that their effects are average. However, Bee Brother feels that buybacks are a good remedy for coin prices.

But a 100% buyback is a strong medicine, and this strong medicine also needs more catalysts.

The timing of buybacks, the stability of the ecosystem itself, how buybacks resonate with people, and even the combination with more strategies will allow buybacks to exert a better effect on coin prices.
