World Liberty Financial launches a WLFI token buyback

What was announced. World Liberty Financial posted on X that it is launching a new buyback program for the WLFI token. WLFI is a governance token: holders vote on project decisions. The project says it will start with an initial allocation and review the program over time.

Where the money comes from. The project says the budget may include fees earned from USD1 reserves and other sources. USD1 reserves are the cash and securities behind each stablecoin, and they earn income. It did not say how much will go to buybacks.

Why. The project names two goals: more holders taking part in governance votes, and more voting power held by its most committed long-term holders. It wants buybacks to be an ongoing part of its strategy, with the pace guided by ecosystem growth.

Background. Reuters reports that WLFI fell about 10% after the US midterm elections, where Republicans did worse than expected, and is down more than 60% in 2026, citing CoinMarketCap. Investing.com reports that the $TRUMP memecoin fell 22% to a record low this week. According to Reuters, the Trump family owns 38% of World Liberty.

What is missing. There is no amount, no buying schedule and no rule on what happens to bought tokens: burned or kept by the project. Without that, nobody can judge how big the buyback is next to trading volume.
