UNUS SED LEO (LEO-USD) — Research Summary as of August 20, 2026

Overview

UNUS SED LEO (LEO) is the utility and exchange token of the iFinex ecosystem, which includes the Bitfinex exchange and is closely tied to Tether. Originally issued in 2019 to recover $850 million lost in the Crypto Capital fund seizure, LEO is structurally designed to be deflationary: iFinex commits at least 27% of its consolidated gross revenue to buying LEO on the open market and burning it, continuing until every token is destroyed [5][7][4]. The token currently trades around $9.71, sitting in a broad sideways range with support near $8.67 and resistance at $10.07 [DOC-2].
