Trump-backed crypto venture World Liberty Financial has launched a repurchase program for its native WLFI governance token, according to reports from Reuters and Cointelegraph. The initiative is intended to strengthen governance participation, increase token scarcity, and concentrate voting power among long-term holders.[4][5][1]

The project disclosed that buybacks will be funded through an initial allocation that may draw from revenue and fees generated by reserves backing its USD1 stablecoin, alongside other capital sources. No specific dollar amount or execution timetable has been disclosed for the repurchases.[4][3][6]

The buyback follows extended downward price pressure on the asset. CoinDesk reported that WLFI has dropped 66% year-to-date, while Gizmodo and CryptoSavingExpert noted a post-election slide, including a roughly 10% fall following the U.S. midterm vote.[7][2][3]

    World Liberty Financial is launching a buyback programme for its WLFI token. Here's where the funding could come from: Revenue generated from reserves backing its USD1 stablecoin, alongside other sources. WLFI has fallen roughly 10% since the US midterm vote and is down more than 60% this year. A buyback programme could help create additional demand, but I'm not getting carried away just yet. There's no specific dollar amount or purchase schedule disclosed in the Reuters report. The actual execution matters more than the announcement.
