According to market reports, the Trump-linked token briefly topped $0.30 before sliding 15%–30%; a community vote may redirect all POL fees on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana to repurchases and burns.
World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token fell after its launch, briefly trading above $0.30 before dropping 15%–30% and stabilizing around $0.21–$0.24, according to trading data and market reports. The decline followed a large token unlock that added roughly 25 billion WLFI to circulating supply, pushing the Trump family’s paper stake near $5–$6+ billion depending on price. Early trading on Binance, OKX and Bybit saw heavy activity, with about $1 billion changing hands in the first hour on some platforms; some early investors were allowed to sell a portion of their holdings. In response, the team and community proposed a buyback-and-burn plan to route 100% of protocol-owned liquidity (POL) fees from Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana to repurchase WLFI and permanently burn it. Supporters say the plan would reduce supply, while critics argue fee-funded burns may take years; governance votes and updates are pending amid heightened scrutiny due to the project’s ties to U.S. President Donald Trump.
