ETHFI: Buyback Spend [USD]
Shown as its Jul–Sep 2025 sample; the latest readings and full history are included with Plus.
What the programme spent on its ETHFI purchases in each period, in US dollars.
Why use it. The programme's budget in practice: how much of the project's revenue goes into buying the token. How to read it. Each value is the period's spend. A period with a purchase paid in a token CryptoKeyhole cannot value is left empty.
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.
