<p>World Liberty Financial (<a href="https://x.com/worldlibertyfi" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@worldlibertyfi</a>) has put the first purchases under its WLFI buyback program on-chain. The project bought about 21 million <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24WLFI&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$WLFI</a> on <a href="https://x.com/Aster_DEX" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Aster_DEX</a> in less than 72 hours, and the tokens arrived in its public <a href="https://x.com/BNBCHAIN" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@BNBCHAIN</a> buyback wallet on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The same wallet sent $10 million in <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24USD&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$USD</a>1 to Aster last week. That is ten times the amount spent so far, which implies roughly $1 million in purchases to date.</p>
<h2 id="how-the-buyback-program-works">How the Buyback Program Works</h2>
<p>World Liberty announced the program on Nov. 6. <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/11/06/trump-backed-world-liberty-financial-plans-token-buyback-after-66-year-to-date-slide" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinDesk reported</a> that the company said it may fund purchases with fees earned from reserves backing its USD1 stablecoin, along with other sources. The stated aim is to encourage more active governance participation and give more voting power to committed long-term holders.</p>
<p>On Nov. 9, the company named Aster as the venue and disclosed the wallet address. <a href="https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/52943" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TokenPost reported</a> that the disclosure included no buyback budget or timetable. <a href="https://panews.io/articles/01a1c32f-02b9-717a-8431-d982df38ba96" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PANews reported</a> that World Liberty said timing, size and execution method depend on available resources and may be adjusted or terminated at any time.</p>
<p>The 10 million USD1 deposit is small relative to the token's market value. One press release carried on <a href="https://www.openpr.com/news/4686933/wlfi-price-prediction-10m-buyback-begins-on-aster-while" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">openPR</a> put it at under 1% of WLFI's $1.51 billion value, though that source is promotional and the figure should be treated with caution.</p>
<h2 id="context-a-weak-year-for-wlfi">Context: A Weak Year for WLFI</h2>
<p>The buyback follows a sharp fall in the token's price. CoinDesk reported that WLFI had lost more than 66% so far this year and about 10% in the days before the Nov. 6 announcement. The same report said the project also faces a request for court sanctions from Tron founder Justin Sun in a lawsuit over roughly four billion frozen WLFI tokens.</p>
<p>This is not the project's first buyback. <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/11/06/trump-backed-world-liberty-financial-plans-wlfi-buyback-after-67-ytd-drop/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Crypto Times reported</a> that in November 2025 the project spent about $7.79 million in USD1 to acquire roughly 46.56 million WLFI over about five hours.</p>
<p>WLFI gives holders a role in protocol governance but is not company equity, according to TokenPost. A buyback also does not guarantee a higher price. The effect on voting power will depend on what World Liberty does with the tokens it acquires, which the company has not specified.</p>
