Buyback

We use 85% of every trading fee on Yellow to buy back $YELLOW on the open market.

That creates buying pressure that scales with platform activity. More trades → more fees → more buyback.

How it works

Two steps, no magic:

  1. Fees in non-USDT currencies are sold into USDT on Yellow's own spot markets.

  2. The USDT is used to buy $YELLOW on the open order book.

Bought $YELLOW goes into a platform-owned holding account.

How often

Buybacks run on a regular cadence.

On-chain proof

Every buyback run is recorded end to end — the fees collected, the consolidation trades, the $YELLOW purchases, and the destination holding account. The full chain from a user's trading fee to the resulting $YELLOW purchase is auditable.

Impact

  • every fee paid on Yellow contributes to buying $YELLOW

  • buyback orders execute on Yellow's own books, contributing to volume

  • buyback size scales 1-to-1 with platform fee revenue
