AAVE and JUP Buybacks Aren’t Keeping Up With New Supply
Grayscale's research shows Aave (AAVE) and Jupiter (JUP) have positive earnings yields, but negative tokenholder yields when accounting for buybacks, rewards, and supply growth. AAVE's buybacks fund its ecosystem reserve, while JUP's buybacks and burns haven't offset new supply. Both protocols face challenges in balancing revenue, operating costs, and token economics.
