WLFI used these funds to repurchase 6.04 million tokens across multiple chains before permanently removing them on the BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum networks.
Another 3.06 million tokens, valued at roughly $638,000, remain on Solana awaiting action.
The burn comes after WLFI’s price fell 33% in the past month, though it recently rebounded 6% to $0.2049, still over 38% below its all-time high.
The buyback-and-burn plan was approved in a governance vote with 99% support, applying only to fees from WLFI-managed liquidity pools.
Analysts estimate the burn rate could reach 4 million WLFI daily -nearly 2% of annual supply -though this remains unverified.
The Trump family and affiliates reportedly hold $5 billion in WLFI after a recent unlock of 24.6 billion tokens.
That event briefly pushed WLFI’s price to $0.40 before stabilizing near current levels.
