As the industry matures and borrows more pages out of TradiFis playbook, crypto projects are starting to adopt some of the behaviors of public companies.  The latest craze rocking cryptoville is token buybacks: using revenue to buy back your own token.  So far in 2026, crypto projects have spent about $640 million on the practice, up around 17% from the same period the year prior, and an order of magnitude more than the $366,000 spent in 2024. Hyperliquid and Pump.fun accounting for almost 90% of the current spend.  So whats the sudden appeal?  Buybacks can create demand for a token, while burns can reduce the supply making each token more valuable. That dynamic can cause upward pressure on the token price.  It also gives holders a more tangible connection to the economic activity on the underlying protocol. Orest Gavryliak, chief legal officer at decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch, tells Magazine:  “When projects implement revenue-funded buybacks and burns, they typically have one of two objectives in mind: either to decrease the token supply in circulation or to demonstrate the rationale for investing in protocol revenues.”  Gavryliak says that telling users a project has “bought and burned tokens” is “much more straightforward” than explaining how governance rights work, how fees

Revolut, OpenReserve get preliminary US bank approval with crypto plans

Revolut and Andreessen Horowitz-backed crypto banking startup OpenReserve have received preliminary US regulatory approval to establish national banks, with both companies planning to offer cryptocurrency and stablecoin-related services.  The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) granted preliminary conditional approval for Revolut to move forward with a proposed bank in Connecticut and OpenReserve with one in Utah, according to separate decisions published Wednesday.  The OCC said Revolut wants its own US bank to provide services at lower cost and with greater efficiency than its current model, which relies on Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured partner banks.  Revolut plans to offer digital asset custody and allow customers to use crypto assets, including stablecoins, for cross-border transfers. It also plans to offer Revolut-branded stablecoins issued by a third party.  Founded in 2025 by MoneyLion founder and former CEO Dee Choubey, OpenReserve is building a blockchain-based bank designed to offer traditional banking services alongside tokenized deposits and digital asset services.  OpenReserve plans tokenized deposits, digital asset custody and a subsidiary that would issue US dollar-backed stablecoins, though it has not yet filed an application for the subsidiary.  The banks cannot open until they meet the OCCs preopening requirements and receive final approval.
