Ethena Foundation said on Sept. 3 that its fee switch vote has passed with 100% support, clearing the way for programmatic buybacks of ENA to begin. The foundation said the scale of those buybacks will increase over time as metrics and milestones are met. Market data from HTX showed ENA up more than 10.5% over the past 24 hours, trading at $0.166 at the time cited in the report. The update follows a separate announcement from Aug. 27, when the foundation outlined four changes for the Ethena ecosystem. Those measures included buying back locked tokens held by early investors, pushing for closer alignment between token value and equity value, launching a governance proposal to use revenue for ENA buybacks, and canceling future monthly unlocks for VC investors. Together, the two announcements mark the latest governance and token-structure changes disclosed by the foundation.
