In a move to counter market speculation and reaffirm protocol confidence, Resolv Labs’ Co-Founder Tim Shekikhachev revealed that the Resolv Foundation has recently purchased 1.6 million $RESOLV tokens at approximately $0.15 each. The announcement, shared via an X thread, comes as the token sees heightened price volatility following its recent airdrop and open market distribution.

According to Shekikhachev, the foundation has not sold any tokens during this period of price fluctuation. Instead, it has emerged as a buyer, aiming to support long-term protocol health and ecosystem confidence.

“In fact, at current levels, we are strong buyers,” he wrote.

He also added that the foundation acquired $RESOLV worth roughly $240,000 in the last 24 hours.

Shekikhachev also addressed the broader market dynamics, attributing recent sell pressure to early airdrop recipients and short-term investors anticipating post-TGE price drops. Despite this, he emphasized that the roadmap of Resolv is centered on building what he calls a “killer distribution machine” designed to enhance product flows, generate partner value, and ultimately increase demand for the token.

One of the upcoming key initiatives is the launch of the USR Ecosystem Vault, which will combine stable returns with exposure to Resolv’s native points system. This vault, Shekikhachev said, is expected to improve liquidity for protocols integrating $RESOLV and USR, its money market instrument. He also highlighted collaboration with P2P Validator, which operates one of the industry’s most expansive distribution networks.

Resolv is also growing its presence through partnerships. Notably, it has already secured an $80 million allocation via Ether.fi products, with token incentives from Resolv’s weETH operations benefiting $RESOLV stakers. Management fees sourced from the upcoming USR Ecosystem Vault will also be recycled into token buybacks, forming a dual-revenue strategy to counter token inflation.

“These two sources are already capable of fully counterbalancing $RESOLV inflation coming to the token stakers in 2025, which we estimate at $4 million per year,” Shekikhachev wrote.

He concluded by hinting at more developments across staking yield expansion and alternative money market innovations, reinforcing the protocol’s commitment to long-term value creation.
