      3/ Bitfinex buys back LEO tokens at market value worth 27% of the revenue and then burns them (every 3 hours) until all LEOs are removed from circulation. For now, Bitfinex only burns the revenue from trading fees but wants to add more streams eventually https://leo.bitfinex.com/

      4/ The size of the burn logically varies depending on the revenue from trading fees and the price of LEO. So far, there have been 19 days of burns throughout which $2.8 million in LEO (~1.5 million LEO) has been burnt in 151 on-chain burning events.pic.twitter.com/NBlzBcZ5ke

      5/ Interestingly, there have so far been two LEO burning gaps (both on June 26). But it seems that Bitfinex just burned the full amount after skipping one. Not sure why. Maybe @paoloardoino can clear uppic.twitter.com/uoZLMz85Z7

      6/ Knowing that the total burnt amount represents 27% of revenues from trading fees, we can deduce that Bitfinex generated nearly $10.4M in revenue from trading fees in the last 19 days. That’s, on average, $550k of revenue a day from trading fees. June 26 was the most active daypic.twitter.com/BJPIyI9aEV

      7/ But since we also know the figures for the reported trading volume on Bitfinex, we could get a better sense of how much of the trading volume Bitfinex captures as revenue (on average).pic.twitter.com/5548LdMYEv

      8/ As expected, the trend between volume and revenue is consistent — when volume increases, revenue increases as well and vice versa. But when looking at the ratio between revenue and volume, we can see that there has been a significant change in the last couple of weeks.pic.twitter.com/sRwWsSLby3

      9/ Throughout the first four days of burns, Bitfinex captured more than 0.15% of the volume. But in the last two weeks, the ratio has dropped by 38% to an average of 0.1%.

      10/ This could mean three things: • Larger clients are trading on Bitfinex • Bitfinex has not been burning enough LEO • Bitfinex is over-reporting their volumes

      More simply imo: the LEO discount for trading fees was only activated on the 20th (as per @paoloardoino in his twitter feed). Whatever happened on the 19th tho, ramping up of the discount for trial purposes mb?

      Yea, Paolo already said the same thing. Really interesting that it would make such a big difference but makes sense.

      Even if someone is skeptical about Finex raising 1b, most of our biggest users bought Unus Sed $LEO as long term strategy to lower their trading fees.

          Could you explain why you only repaid 100mil, instead of restoring USDT 1:1 backing? You have to understand you're making it very hard to not be sceptical, when this is the rule. More and more questions arise but you just announce new features like it's just wednesday.
