World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance project linked to the Trump family, is moving ahead with a buyback-and-burn program following sharp losses in its token price.
The initiative, set to begin this week, comes after WLFI tokens fell 41% in September. On Friday, the project confirmed that it will start repurchasing tokens on the open market and permanently burning them. The team also promised transparency, noting that updates on each buyback and burn will be made public.
Buyback-and-burn strategies are often used to counter heavy selling pressure. A buyback reduces the available supply by repurchasing tokens, while burning removes them completely by sending them to an inaccessible wallet. Together, the measures are designed to shrink circulation and potentially support the price.
At the end of last week, WLFI was trading at $0.19, down significantly from its peak of $0.33 reached on Sept. 1, according to CoinGecko.
Governance vote cleared path for buybacks
The new mechanism follows a community governance vote in which 99% of participants supported the plan. Under the proposal, fees generated from WLFI’s liquidity pools on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana will be used to purchase WLFI tokens that will then be burned.
The project explained that this will mean every transaction linked to treasury-controlled liquidity will gradually reduce the circulating supply. More fees collected would translate into more WLFI removed from the market, aligning the mechanism with the platform’s long-term growth. However, the team clarified that only fees from treasury-run liquidity pools are included—community or third-party pools remain unaffected.
Uncertainty about the total burn
While some community members estimate the program could burn up to 4 million WLFI tokens daily—potentially wiping out close to 2% of the supply annually—the actual scale remains unclear. The proposal did not specify how many tokens will be repurchased and destroyed.
