WLFI Community Greenlights 100% Treasury Allocation for Buyback & Burn - Activation This Week

WLFI holders just voted to deploy the entire treasury into a radical deflationary maneuver.

The Mechanics

Every fee generated by the treasury will now be funneled directly into buying back WLFI tokens from the open market. Those tokens get sent to a burn address—permanently removed from circulation.

Starting this week, the protocol shifts into maximum deflation mode. This isn't a gradual phase-in; it's a full-throttle commitment to scarcity. By directing 100% of treasury income toward reduction of the token supply, WLFI is betting big on supply-side economics.

The move pressures selling activity while artificially manufacturing demand through constant buy-side pressure. It's a classic crypto playbook move—though rarely executed with such totality. Most projects dip a toe; WLFI is diving in headfirst.

Whether this aggressive burn strategy can outpace market dynamics remains the billion-dollar question. After all, in crypto, even the most mathematically sound tokenomics can get wrecked by a whale's mood swing.

WLFI tokens have seen significant ups and downs in recent months, leaving investors looking for a clear strategy to support the price. 

Now, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is taking strong action to support long-term growth and reward loyal holders.

WLFI Buyback and Burn

In a latest governance update, World Liberty Financial shared that the community has voted nearly unanimously to allocate 100% of WLFI Treasury Liquidity Fees toward Buyback & Burn. This decision marks a major step in strengthening WLFI’s tokenomics and creating long-term value for holders.

This comes after WLFI tokens dropped over 41% in September, falling from $0.3313 to $0.196.

Governance Update:

The community has voted to use 100% of WLFI Treasury Liquidity Fees for Buyback & Burn, passing with almost unanimous support.

The team will begin implementing this initiative this week, and all buybacks & burns will be transparently posted once conducted.

The team plans to start the initiative this week. Each buyback and burn will be fully transparent, with updates shared so the community can track the impact in real time. The MOVE shows WLFI’s commitment to sustainable growth and responsible governance.

Why This Matters

WLFI’s new proposal will use all fees from its own liquidity to buy back tokens and permanently remove them from circulation. Fees from community or third-party liquidity pools are not affected.

The governance vote passed last week with 99.8% in favor. The team explained that this move removes tokens from those not focused on WLFI’s long-term growth, boosting the relative stake of committed, long-term investors.

This move  also aligns with platform growth as more usage generates more fees, which in turn leads to more WLFI being burned.

How the Buyback and Burn Works

WLFI collects fees from its own liquidity on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Solana. These fees are then used to buy WLFI tokens from the market. The purchased tokens are sent to a burn address and permanently removed from circulation, reducing the total supply.

While the program aims to support the token price and reduce supply, the team has not specified the exact number of tokens they plan to buy back and burn.

Community Proposals and Concerns

One of the users argued that fee-based burns alone are too small and slow to push the price to $1, calling for larger, more impactful supply cuts for price stability. “We need real action, not delays,” the user said. 

While another user suggested that for the remaining 80% of presale tokens is a buyback-and-burn option where holders could sell back to the team, with those tokens burned. Participation WOULD be capped based on the fees WLFI generates, helping reduce sell pressure and promote long-term stability.

For those who don’t go with the buyback, the user suggests these would follow a gradual vesting schedule, unlocking no more than 40% per year, ensuring early buyers still have access to their tokens without creating immediate sell pressure.
