Results of the first-ever KickToken (KICK) buyback in the history of the KickEX exchange
KickEX would like to invite you behind-the-scenes of the first KickToken buyback and share the key results with our users
On September 1, 2020, at exactly 15:00 Moscow time, we held our first-ever KickToken buyback on the KickEX exchange. Thank you to all users for participating — and we hope that you enjoyed the fair buyback mechanic and managed to get your well-deserved slice of the profits.
We initially stated that all results will be as transparent as possible. Keeping true to this promise, we present a summary of the main points of the past buyback.

During the buyback, 2172 limit orders were executed.
A total of 704,687,262 KICK tokens were redeemed for a total of 100,000 USDT.
704,687,262 KickTokens were redeemed for a total amount of 100,000 USDT.
A detailed list of all participants in the buyback with usernames, the number of placed, and bought back tokens can be viewed on the official website of the KICK buyback.
This buyback was the first in a series of KICK token buybacks to be carried out on the KickEX exchange and was specifically implemented for a small amount, as this was an experimental buyback of tokens and a test of the mechanism. Each time the buyback mechanics will change, improve, and target different audiences: holders of a small volume of tokens, “whales” of the KICK token and newcomers. Each new buyback will be more interesting, technologically advanced and better than the previous one.
All redeemed tokens in the buyback were withdrawn from circulation, frozen and then burned.

Initially, we planned not to burn the tokens so that there would be no negative impact on the KICK capitalization and it would not fall in the ratings, but we assumed the possibility that later these tokens would be burned when their liquidation did not affect the positioning in the ratings. Many users supported the burning initiative, therefore, following the first buyback, the KickEX team decided to burn these tokens.

There are more burns to come in the future if we see that this one had a positive effect on the KICK rate.
