Maple Finance Overhauls Tokenomics with MIP-019 Proposal, Ends Staking, and Launches Buybacks Amid RWA Adoption Surge

Maple Finance has ended staking and launched token buybacks as part of a new model for decentralized credit markets. The move aligns the protocol with traditional credit markets and links rewards to financial performance. The change has led to a surge in real-world asset adoption and institutional interest in on-chain lending, with Maple's TVL reaching $3.1 billion. The tokenomics are now more sustainable, limiting inflation and strengthening capital efficiency.
