World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has announced that it will use all fees from its own liquidity to buy back and permanently destroy the WLFI token.
This process, known in the industry as “burn,” is intended to reduce supply and thus support the token’s price.
The proposal was voted on on September 19, 2025. 99.84% of participants voted in favor of the measure – almost unanimously within the community.
The goal of the buyback is to reduce the circulating supply of tokens. In theory, this scarcity should increase the value of the remaining units and primarily appeal to long-term investors. Short-term traders, on the other hand, are likely to benefit less from the measure.
Buybacks are not a new concept in the financial world. Traditional public companies also use their own profits to buy back shares. This model has also become established in the crypto world – for example, at Binance, where the exchange regularly buys back and burns BNB tokens.
Since the beginning of the month, WLFI has also been tradable on several major crypto exchanges. However, observers warn of potential risks.
For example, the Trump family controls around 60 percent of World Liberty Financial’s parent company, WLF Holdco. Eric Trump officially serves on the board of directors. Donald Trump himself has promoted the token on social media.
Given WLFI’s close ties to the Trump family, ethical concerns have been raised, including conflicts of interest, a lack of transparency, and political influence. The U.S. Senate has already addressed requests for comment on the project, but these have so far been rejected.
