According to @CNBC, earnings momentum is rising among stocks set to report next week, signaling strengthening trends into the upcoming earnings window (source: CNBC social post dated Jan 15, 2026).

JST Token Deflation Roadmap: 10% Supply Burned in 2 Quarters, Quarterly Buybacks Through Q4 2026

According to @justinsuntron on X on Jan 15, 2026, JST has maintained a deflationary policy, burning a cumulative 10% of total supply across two consecutive quarters. The first round allocated about 17.72 million USDT to buybacks and burned roughly 5.66% of supply, validating a real-yield buyback model, per the same source. A second buyback-burn round has been executed, signaling a shift from one-off events to a rules-based mechanism, according to the post. The roadmap states that 70% of historical cumulative revenue has been locked for quarterly burns through Q4 2026, while future quarterly net income will continually fund a buyback pool with on-chain disclosures, per @justinsuntron. For traders, this schedule implies ongoing buy-side flows and structural supply reduction that the source characterizes as a certainty premium rather than narrative-driven actions. (Source)
