Summary
JST is an interesting long term investment, in addition to having a capped supply, JST has also a deflation plan, it means that JST available in the market are expected to be constantly reduced, in theory this mean that JST price can only rise.
eligible protocol revenue and JUST ecosystem revenue are used to buy JST from the open market, which will then be sent to a urn address, permanently removing it from circulation. Instead of directly distributing protocol revenue to JST holders, JustLend DAO uses the buyback and burn mechanism to connect sustainable revenue from the protocol and ecosystem with the long-term management of JST’s supply.
Allocating 2% of an entire crypto portfolio is probably the right thing to do, depending on the size of your portfolio.

7- Stakeholders
7-A- Large holders
i was not able to find any information about JST largest holders such as corporate treasuries or ETFs, probably because there is no such large holders.
Justin Sun is likely to hold a large JST position but i was not able to find any information about it.

JST is deployed on TRON network and it belong to the TRON ecosystem, Justin Sun is the major influencer in this ecosystem, where he can influence all tokens in the ecosystem through holding , additional acquisition, appearance or sharing in public media.
8- JUST ups and downs
issued on the TRON network, JST is a TRC-20 token with a maximum supply of 9,900,000,000 JST. As the buyback and burn program continues, the actual circulating supply will decrease in proportion to the cumulative amount of JST burned.
TRON network developments
as a DeFi platform built on TRON, JUST depend on TRON in the future. The development or the decline of TRON network can lead to JUST growth or retraction, with its price impacted.
