Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Announces Token Buyback Program

Brief

By Dextape Desk · November 6, 2026

World Liberty Financial, a crypto project tied to the Trump family, has unveiled a WLFI token buyback program. Initial funding partly comes from fees on USD1 stablecoin reserves and other sources. In a November 6 X post, the team linked the plan to USD1 growth and aims to deepen governance participation among long-term holders. Once the initial round is complete, results will be reviewed before the size of later rounds is set. Co-founder Zack Witkoff reacted and hinted at more news soon. Despite the news, the token traded near $0.047 and barely moved within 24 hours, per CoinGecko. It has fallen nearly 8% over seven days and sits more than 60% below its level a year earlier, and 85% under its September 2025 peak.

Why it matters: It shows how a politically connected project is tying token repurchases and governance influence to stablecoin revenue, a model readers may watch as it develops.
