Welcome to this week’s AVA update! This update covers news from 31 January-6 February 2025.

In what was a significant week for the ecosystem, the Foundation announced a new buyback initiative to accompany the current Monthly Buyback for token givebacks. The AVA Smart Bonus Buyback will see the total amount of AVA distributed as part of the quarterly AVA Smart Bonus repurchased on a selective basis, with the first TWO buybacks for Q3 2024 and Q4 2024 to be completed this month.

In the broader ecosystem, Travala’s hotel integration on trivago was unveiled – another monumental step in bringing crypto adoption and the AVA ecosystem to a new audience.

Among this news, Travala posted a second consecutive month of gross revenue over $10M, representing 60% YoY growth and a record number of AVA givebacks in dollar terms at over $112,000 for the month of January.
