Trump affiliated World Liberty Financial executes $1.43M token burn amid WLFI market volatility
- WLFI burns 7.89M tokens ($1.43M) following $1.06M buyback to reduce circulating supply.
- 99% of WLFI holders approved burn plan; program excludes community liquidity pools.
- Trump family controls $5B in WLFI; token trades at $0.2049 after recent market volatility.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project affiliated with US President Donald Trump, has executed a significant token burn, removing 7.89 million WLFI tokens from circulation, valued at roughly $1.43 million.
The burn follows a $1.06 million buyback across multiple blockchain networks, part of a strategy approved by WLFI holders to stabilize token supply and market dynamics.
WLFI token burn and buyback details
According to onchain data compiled by Lookonchain, the WLFI team collected 4.91 million WLFI (approximately $1.01 million) along with $1.06 million in fees and earnings from liquidity operations.
These funds were used to repurchase 6.04 million WLFI on the open market.
Following these transactions, the team burned 7.89 million WLFI tokens on both the BNB Smart Chain (BNB) and Ethereum (ETH) networks.
A total of 3.06 million WLFI ($638,000) remains on Solana (SOL), with the project indicating that further burns may occur.
The token burn program aims to permanently reduce WLFI’s circulating supply, thereby alleviating selling pressure and supporting market stability.
Community and third-party liquidity pools are not included in the burn process, with the initiative relying solely on fees generated from WLFI-managed liquidity pools.
Governance approval and market context
The burn plan was approved via governance vote earlier this month, with overwhelming support: 99% of WLFI holders voted in favor.
This approval demonstrates strong alignment between the community and the project’s management regarding strategies to manage token supply and enhance long-term value.
The WLFI price has experienced significant fluctuations, falling roughly 33% over the past month.
As of Saturday, the token was trading at $0.2049, marking a 6% increase over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.
Despite this rebound, WLFI remains down more than 38% from its all-time high.
Market analysts and onchain observers have noted that the burn could potentially remove up to 4 million WLFI per day, translating to nearly 2% of the total supply annually, although exact figures have yet to be confirmed.
Trump family holdings and token unlocks
The WLFI project has drawn additional attention due to its connection with the Trump family.
Entities linked to President Donald Trump reportedly control around $5 billion worth of WLFI tokens following a scheduled unlock of 24.6 billion tokens earlier this month.
Initial holders listed on the project’s website include DT Marks DEFI LLC and family members Donald Jr., Barron, and Eric Trump, who collectively held 22.5 billion WLFI.
The token experienced a brief spike to $0.40 following the unlock before retreating to around $0.21.
This volatility highlights both the influence of large token holders and the potential impact of strategic buybacks and burns on market sentiment.
Outlook and implications
The WLFI token burn and repurchase program represents a deliberate effort by the project to strengthen market confidence and mitigate price declines amid recent volatility.
By leveraging governance-approved strategies and onchain revenue streams, WLFI aims to create a sustainable framework for value appreciation.
The project will likely continue monitoring supply and demand dynamics, with future burns on Solana pending further action.
For investors and observers, the ongoing management of WLFI supply, combined with significant holdings by high-profile individuals, underscores the complex interplay of DeFi mechanics and market sentiment in shaping token performance.

Spot Ether ETFs see five-day outflow streak amid 10% price drop
- Ether ETFs post $795.8M outflows over 5 days as ETH price drops 10.8% to $3,995.
- SEC staking decision looms; Grayscale readies to stake ETH holdings amid pressure.
- Bitcoin ETFs face $897.6M outflows, but analysts call them “the biggest launch ever.”
US-based spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recorded their second prolonged outflow streak in less than a month, underscoring ongoing investor caution in the market.
The sell-off coincides with Ether’s (ETH) price slipping more than 10% over the past week, reflecting broader concerns around crypto demand and regulatory uncertainty.
Five straight days of outflows for Ether ETFs
According to data from Farside, spot Ether ETFs posted five consecutive days of net outflows this week, totaling $795.8 million.
Friday alone saw $248.4 million withdrawn, capping a difficult week for the products.
Ether’s price fell 10.8% to $3995.33 in the last 7 days at the time of writing.
This marks the first time Ether ETFs have logged a five-day outflow streak since the week ending September 5, when the asset traded near $4,300.
The repeated pressure suggests waning investor appetite in the short term, even as longer-term developments around staking could reshape market sentiment.
Staking approval could shift market dynamics
Market participants continue to watch for signals from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on whether staking will eventually be permitted within spot Ether ETFs.
Staking, which allows investors to earn yield by locking up ETH, could provide an added incentive for long-term holders and bolster the utility of these products.
On September 19, it was reported that Grayscale is preparing to stake part of its significant Ether holdings, a move interpreted by some as a vote of confidence that regulators may soon allow staking within exchange-traded products.
Despite this potential catalyst, current trading data highlights persistent sell-side pressure.
Cointelegraph noted that net taker volume on Binance has remained negative over the past month, signaling that retail participation in Ether is cooling.
Crypto analyst Bitbull described the ETF outflow streak as “a sign of capitulation as the panic selling has been so high.”
Bitcoin ETFs also face withdrawals
The selling trend was not limited to Ether.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs also recorded five days of outflows, amounting to $897.6 million over the same period.
Bitcoin’s price fell 5.28% in the past week, trading at $109,551 at the time of publication.
While recent outflows reflect cooling momentum, analysts remain broadly optimistic about Bitcoin ETFs’ long-term trajectory.
ETF analyst James Seyffart, speaking on a podcast Thursday, said that while Bitcoin ETFs haven’t been “perfectly hot the past couple of months,” they remain “the biggest launch of all time.”
“The amount of money that has come in here is unlike anything we have ever seen,” Seyffart said, adding that Bitcoin ETFs are performing “as good as you could possibly hope.”
