Trump-backed World Liberty to launch token buybacks as price drops 41%

World Liberty Financial will launch a WLFI token buyback and burn after a 41% price drop in September, aiming to cut supply and stabilize value.

The Trump family-backed decentralized finance (DeFi) project World Liberty Financial will launch a token buyback and burn program next week after WLFI tokens lost 41% of their value in September.

On Friday, World Liberty announced that its team will implement the token buyback and burn mechanism next week. The project said the initiative would be publicly disclosed, promising to share updates on each buyback and burn once they are conducted.
