ETHFI: Average Buyback Price [USD]
Shown as its Jul–Sep 2025 sample; the latest readings and full history are included with Plus.
The average price the programme paid per ETHFI in each period with purchases.
Why use it. Shows at what prices the programme bought, against the market price. How to read it. Spend divided by the ETHFI bought in the period; periods without purchases are left empty. Compare it with the ETHFI price overlaid on the chart: below it, the programme bought cheaper than the period's close.
Calculation. ETHFI bought on the open market by the ether.fi Foundation's buyback programme: the Foundation wallet named in ether.fi's governance documentation buys ETHFI through CoW Protocol with the revenue from eETH withdrawal fees (weekly) and part of the protocol's revenue (monthly), and the ETHFI goes to holders of staked ETHFI (sETHFI). Its first purchase was on 9 May 2025. Only what the project discloses and what can be verified on chain is counted: the trades of the contracts the project names for this programme, read from those contracts' own events. Programme disclosure: ether.fi's governance documentation of its ETHFI buyback programme, which names the Foundation wallet, and the ether.fi DAO proposals that set up the withdrawal-fee and protocol-revenue buybacks. Trades are read from the programme contracts' own events on CryptoKeyhole's Ethereum archive node, finalized blocks only, and every one was checked against its transaction receipt (the spend leaving the contract and the ETHFI reaching its receiver). The spend is WETH at the hour's close of CryptoKeyhole's ETH/USD index, and USDT and USDC, each counted at one US dollar. Not covered: purchases made away from CoW Protocol or by wallets ether.fi does not name. ETHFI the Foundation later burned is in Supply Burned. Periods are UTC; a day is the sum of its hours, and the open day is shown as a labelled partial.
