A Coruña, Spain, August 19th, 2025 – DEXTools has completed its largest-ever token burn, permanently removing 8 million $DEXT from circulation. Valued at $3.87 million at the time of execution, this marks the platform’s most significant single burn to date and a major step in its ongoing commitment to a sustainable, deflationary token model.
The burn was finalized on August 14 and is publicly verifiable via Etherscan. It builds on a precedent set in 2024, when DEXTools permanently removed 12 million tokens, including a 7 million-token event during the DEXT FORCE Festival last October.
A Strategy Built on Real Revenue
DEXTools’ deflationary approach is rooted in platform activity. The platform’s operating costs are covered through advertising and other income, allowing it to direct fee-based revenue back into the token economy.
Key mechanisms include:
- 100% of aggregator fees, across all supported chains, are used to buy back and burn $DEXT.
- 100% of updated social fees paid in $DEXT, representing around 40% of total social revenue are also burned.
This structure ties token destruction directly to platform growth. As DEXTools gains usage, more $DEXT exits circulation, a self-reinforcing model designed to support long-term holders.
Users can monitor supply changes in real time via the DEXTools Burn Dashboard. The dashboard tracks daily, weekly, and monthly burn activity, wallet inflows, and aggregator revenue in $DEXT, along with forward-looking projections. The annual burn estimate currently stands at 12 million tokens.
Momentum Builds Around $DEXT
This latest burn adds to a growing wave of activity around DEXTools’ native token. The next day of the burn saw a 21% price spike and reached its peak on 19 August with a total increase of over 42% since the burn, reflecting rising interest from traders who are watching the platform’s tokenomics play out in real time.

Rather than relying on announcements or temporary incentives, DEXTools continues to take a measured, transparent approach, removing tokens as the platform grows. With strong fundamentals, consistent burn mechanics, and a steady stream of new integrations, $DEXT is gaining traction as a utility token backed by real use.
