Magic Eden ME Token buyback & staking rewards jump to 30% from Q3 2025
Magic Eden says it will raise the share of core revenue used for **ME token** buybacks and staking rewards from 15% to 30%, effective in Q3 2025. The upgrade is designed to increase staking rewards and tighten **ME token** supply amid multi-chain growth.
Mechanically, Magic Eden will run larger quarterly **ME token** buybacks on the open market, then route purchased tokens into the rewards pool for stakers. Rewards are allocated proportionally by stake size and duration, with planned smart-contract updates and added security audits before Q3 2025. The platform also plans progress reports and disclosure of buyback transactions.
Traders should watch whether the higher 30% **ME token** buyback and staking program is executed consistently. If revenue growth and staking participation hold up, it could lift yields and improve sentiment. The actual price impact will still depend on how market participants respond to the expected supply reduction versus any broader sell pressure.
Bullish
The move increases the proportion of core revenue directed to **ME token** buybacks and staking rewards (to 30% from 15%), which can reduce circulating supply and potentially increase demand support. The article also emphasizes planned smart-contract upgrades, security audits, and transparent reporting, which should help credibility and execution quality—key factors that traders care about when a buyback program is used for price support.
Short term, the market may reprice expectations for higher staking yields and supply tightening if buybacks start tracking the new allocation. Long term, if Magic Eden sustains multi-chain revenue growth and maintains strong staking participation, the rewards engine could become a durable support mechanism. The main risk is execution consistency and revenue variability: if revenue underperforms or staking participation rises too quickly relative to buybacks, the yield and sentiment effect may fade.
