💳 A $100,000 buyback—enough to drive a 13.8% daily gain? Let’s talk about ZBCN’s Q3 buyback report
Zebec Network（@Zebec_HQ）announced its Q3 buyback results on October 21:
🔹 Bought back 40,536,539 ZBCN, worth approximately $100,000
🔹 Funds came from fees earned through Zebec Card, Zebec Enterprise, and SuperApp payroll services—not from the treasury
🔹 The team says the repurchased tokens have been permanently removed from circulation. The transactions can be verified on-chain via Solscan, and funds are periodically consolidated and held in custody by Uphold Institutional
🔹 ZBCN rose about 13.8% that day, with Uphold showing a price of around $0.00243
Here’s what I think.
I’m in favor of buybacks funded by actual business revenue. In the past, it was often unclear where the money for many projects’ “buybacks” came from—sometimes it was just moving funds from one treasury pocket to another, and sometimes it was simply an empty promise. Putting the funding source and on-chain records out in the open at least makes them verifiable.
But don’t get carried away by the word “buyback.” At $100,000 per quarter, that works out to a little over $1,000 in buying pressure per day. Market sentiment and liquidity are still what really determine the token’s price. The 13.8% gain that day was driven more by the narrative than by the buying pressure itself.
When I look at projects with buybacks, I ask three questions:
1️⃣ Was the money earned by the business, or did it come from the treasury or fundraising?
2️⃣ How does the buyback size compare with unlocks and new issuance over the same period—which is larger?
3️⃣ Are the repurchased tokens burned, locked up, or simply held and available for sale at any time?
If all three questions have clear answers, the buyback is a plus. If not, I treat it as marketing.
Do you think “revenue-driven buybacks” can support a token’s long-term price? Or are they just a source of reassurance when the scale is too small? Let’s discuss in the comments👇
