$PONS Bearish news: Buyback fuel is nearly burned out; down another 11% in a day

Buybacks rely on the platform’s own trading fees, and that revenue stream has dried up

Platform fees fell from about $137 million in September to roughly $16.8 million in October, down nearly 90% month over month (DefiLlama, AInvest 11/3)

As buyback demand dried up, PONS slid from near its peak of 0.97 to around 0.20

It’s now trading at 0.1937, down 11.27% in 24 hours, with $4.52 million in trading volume and a low of 0.1853

The broader market is also seeing sell-offs: BTC is down about 4.7% in a day, and altcoin liquidity is even thinner. Tokens like this, whose buybacks depend on trading activity, are hit first.
