World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project connected to the Trump family, has proposed using 100% of protocol-generated fees to buy back and burn WLFI tokens, aiming to reduce supply and support long-term value.
The move comes after WLFI fell nearly 36% from its post-launch high, though it has since rebounded slightly to trade around $0.24.
🦅 New Governance Proposal is live
— WLFI (@worldlibertyfi) September 1, 2025
We’re proposing that 100% of fees earned by WLFI’s protocol-owned liquidity (POL) be used for buyback & burn of $WLFI.
This means every trade = fewer tokens in circulation.

If approved, the strategy would permanently remove tokens from circulation using fees collected from liquidity across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana.
A WLFI ambassador said the team opted for a full burn rather than splitting funds with treasury operations.
The proposal follows a major token unlock that added 24.6 billion WLFI to circulation, boosting the Trump family’s holdings to an estimated $6.4 billion.
WLFI now has a circulating supply of 27.3 billion out of 100 billion.
Launched on exchanges including Binance and OKX, the token saw over $1 billion in early trading volume.
Most community feedback on the burn proposal has been positive, positioning it as a potential stabilizer amid early volatility.
