World Liberty Financial has proposed to the community to implement a large-scale buyback & burn program: use 100% of the revenue from the protocol’s commission (trading fees from liquid pools on Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana) to redeem and destroy WLFI tokens, which should reduce circulation and increase the rarity of the asset.
The volume of tokens burned is 47,000,000 WLFI, which at the current exchange rate is equivalent to about $10 million. This is part of an effort to restore confidence after the price fell by 30-36% from a high of $0.331 to $0.21–$0.23.
Against the background of the opening of circulation and major unblocks (~24.6 billion tokens in one day), this proposal is considered as a key step to reduce oversupply and support the exchange rate.
At the same time, critics point out the risks: centralized management, concentration of ownership (the Trump family holds about 22-25 billion WLFI), as well as doubts that the amount of commissions will be sufficient for a long-term effect.
Key facts
| The | Details |
|---|---|
| Volume of tokens burned | 47,000,000 WLFI (~$10 million at current exchange rate) |
| Mechanism | 100% fuel liquidity fees (POL fees) → buyout + burn |
| Current exchange rate | About $0.23 (after falling from $0.33) |
| The circulating offer | 27-27.3 million tokens out of 100 million total |
| Large scale unblocks | ~24.6 billion tokens added to the market in one day |
| Risks | Insufficient commission, concentration of control, open sales |
What’s next?
- If the offer is accepted, token burning will become a regular part of tokenomics and may temporarily stabilize the price as protocol activity increases.
- However, analysts warn that new issues and large-scale unblocks can offset the impact of buyback policy.
- The next step will be a community vote, which will decide the fate of the initiative.
