UNUS SED LEO (LEO) stands at 9.0338 USD as of October 22, 2026. The market context includes a 264.863 BTC restitution transfer dated October 6, while the UNUS SED LEO price shows a 0.00 percent change against the prior UTC daily close.
The 264.863 BTC transfer dates to October 6
A United States government wallet transferred 264.863 Bitcoin linked to the 2016 Bitfinex hack to Coinbase on October 6, 2026, according to TradingView. The transfer was valued at 22.87 million USD when it moved, and the same report described Bitfinex plans for the returned assets.
At least 80 percent of the remaining net proceeds is committed to buying back and burning LEO after Recovery Right Tokens and related costs are handled, CryptoTicker reported. A token burn means permanent removal from circulation by sending tokens to an address that cannot spend them. CryptoTicker also said the commitment uses an 18-month period measured from Bitfinex receiving recovered funds.
The 27 percent mechanism remains part of LEO design
LEO also has a recurring buyback structure. iFinex has pledged at least 27 percent of consolidated gross monthly revenue for open-market LEO purchases and subsequent burns, according to CryptoTicker. The report said the arrangement can include direct Bitcoin-for-LEO transactions. That mechanism is separate from the 80 percent commitment tied to recovered hack proceeds.
The figures leave two different bases for assessing supply: monthly revenue supports the recurring program, while recovered assets are subject to deductions before the net-proceeds pledge applies. CryptoTicker reported that iFinex issued one billion LEO in May 2019 and cited 919,857,851.9 LEO in circulation on October 8, 2026.
