On September 25, 2025, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump family-backed DeFi platform, announced the approval of a governance proposal directing 100% of treasury liquidity fees toward buyback and burn of its WLFI token, per. The vote passed with 99.8% in favor, marking a key step to reduce circulating supply and boost long-term holder value, per. The initiative, using fees from protocol-owned liquidity (POL) on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Solana, begins implementation this week, with all actions transparently posted on-chain, per. This follows a 47M WLFI token burn earlier in September, representing 0.19% of circulating supply, per.
Launched in early September 2025, WLFI raised $14M from selling 926M tokens at $0.015 each, with an additional 5% of supply (5B tokens) offered in January 2025 for enhanced tradability, per. The governance token, compatible with Ethereum, Binance Chain, and Solana, supports USD1 stablecoin transactions but excludes U.S. persons due to regulatory concerns, per. Donald Trump, Barron Trump, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. promote the project via @worldlibertyfi on X, emphasizing DeFi integration with traditional finance, per. WLFI trades at $0.2223, down 28% from launch highs of $0.46, with a $5.4B market cap and $480M daily volume, per CoinMarketCap.
The proposal aims to counter early volatility from short sellers, creating a deflationary model similar to Ethereum’s burns, per. Community sentiment is optimistic, with Discord and X discussions focusing on scarcity and growth, though on-chain metrics like TVL remain undisclosed, per. No SEC or CFTC regulatory updates exist, but the project’s Trump ties invite scrutiny under the Securities Act of 1933, per. X posts from @Cointelegraph celebrate the 99.8% vote, while @worldlibertyfi confirms transparent burns starting this week, per.
WLFI’s buyback could drive $1 targets if fees scale, per, but risks include regulatory hurdles and unproven revenue. Investors should monitor governance.worldlibertyfinancial.com and on-chain burns via Etherscan. Bitcoin (BTC) ($113,234) and Ethereum (ETH) ($4,070) remain stable, per CoinMarketCap; dollar-cost average WLFI with stop-losses below $0.20, or diversify into USDC, per TradingView.
