WLFI: The token supported by the Trumps launches a massive buyback operation

WLFI: The token supported by the Trumps launches a massive buyback operation

It is not because a crypto project proudly displays itself alongside the Trump clan that it is immune to volatility. WLFI is a striking proof of this. The fall of its token was brutal, plunging 41% in just one month. So, to counter this spiral, the platform brings out the heavy artillery: a token buyback and burn program, massively voted by its community. A bold bet to reassure crypto investors.

In brief

  • WLFI dropped 41% in September, despite its image tied to Donald Trump.
  • The community voted 99% for a buyback and token burn.
  • WLFI’s liquidity fees are used to continuously buy and burn tokens.
  • No official estimate of the number of tokens burned has been released yet.

Buyback & Burn: WLFI’s strategy to calm the market

Faced with a lightning-fast collapse of its price, the World Liberty Financial crypto project did not hesitate to react. On September 25, WLFI confirmed the immediate launch of a buyback & burn strategy . The principle is simple: use 100% of the fees from its liquidity positions on Ethereum, Solana and the BNB Chain to buy back WLFI tokens, then send them to a dead address.

Result: a direct reduction of the circulating supply.

This choice was ratified by a community vote, with over 99% approval. The project promises total transparency: ”  The team will start implementing this initiative this week, and all buybacks and burns will be transparently published once completed “.

Project supporters see this as a way to absorb selling pressure while supporting the crypto price in an uncertain climate. This initiative also fits into a logic of alignment between the asset’s adoption and its progressive scarcity.

But this operation has its limits: only liquidity directly held by WLFI is concerned. Community pools are excluded from the scheme. In other words, the impact will depend on the volume actually burned over time. Without official figures at this stage, it is hard to assess the real extent of the gesture.

Crypto investors demand more burning

Despite the rapid execution of the buyback plan, uncertainties remain about its long-term effectiveness. No official data has yet been released on the exact number of WLFI tokens to burn. Some speculation mentions 4 million tokens destroyed per day, or nearly 2% of the annual supply. But nothing guarantees that this pace will be maintained or even reached.

The lack of clear projection leaves crypto investors divided. On X, some active members go further. Ghost, a regular contributor, proposes to also buy back the 80% of tokens from the token allocation still frozen. He suggests a hybrid system: those who wish could resell their tokens to WLFI for destruction, while others would follow a linear vesting of 40% per year.

This strategy would have the merit of further limiting selling pressure, while offering progressive liquidity to early investors. For now, the WLFI team remains discreet on this point, focusing on implementing the initial plan.

What to remember about WLFI

  • WLFI lost 41% of its value in September 2025 (source: CoinGecko);
  • 100% of liquidity fees controlled by WLFI will be used to buy back and burn tokens;
  • The measure was approved by more than 99% of voters;
  • Community liquidity pools are excluded from the scheme;
  • No official data on the volume of tokens destroyed has been published yet.

While WLFI is going through a turbulent phase, it remains a crypto project with strong potential. Moreover, the Trump family’s fortune has recently risen to $1.3 billion , thanks to the rise of their projects such as ABTC and, of course, World Liberty Financial. This will keep the market’s interest alive for a long time.
