The rally followed a community vote on September 19, which ended with 99.8% support for a continuous buyback-and-burn mechanism. Initially muted by turbulence surrounding the Fed’s rate cut, discussions around the token burn initiative grew dominant as macro headwinds cooled at the weekend.
By aligning supply with ecosystem engagement, the WLFI burn mechanism introduces a feedback loop where trading activity directly strengthens scarcity and investor confidence.
Media Chatter around HB-1 Visa Policy Drives Up Trump Entity Prices
Beyond the token burn, WLFI has also benefited from heightened media coverage around Trump’s proposed HB-1 visa policy. The immigration-linked proposal reignited political debates and amplified Trump’s visibility in financial discussions.
