Trump Family Expands Crypto Dominance: WLFI Burn and Korea Launch

September 2, 2025 - 2 min. read

The Trump family is stepping into the crypto space with two significant news announcements. World Liberty Financial (WLFI) initiated an incredible token burn program on 2 September 2025, and Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump unveiled their crypto endeavors in Korea. The news announcements reveal the family’s move to expand their presence across the global crypto map.

WLFI Token Burn Program Revealed

World Liberty Financial has just announced a new burn plan to drive the value of WLFI tokens higher. Every fee collected by the protocol will, in this agreement, be utilized to purchase and irreversibly burn WLFI tokens. WLFI’s price has risen to an initial peak at launch but has otherwise stayed more than 30% below its all-time high.

WLFI proposes a buyback and burn plan.

The buyback program will utilize 100% of fees from POL’s purchases of WLFI tokens on the open market. Once acquired, these tokens will be sent to a burn address, effectively removing them from circulation. The WLFI team expects this will incentivize long-term holders since it will give them a greater share of the value in the network.

Trump Family Strategic Launch in Korea

Simultaneously, the Trump family is also set to expand their stake in the Korean cryptocurrency market. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump attended an event near the Nasdaq headquarters to dispose of their crypto business. The move is an indication that they want to cash in on the growing appetite for cryptocurrencies in Asia.

While others in the community are welcoming this, there is unease of unequal power between token holders in the burn program. Others worry that token concentration in a few hands would discourage other investors.

Market Reactions and Future Outlook

The WLFI burn program received a lukewarm response. While others are welcoming it in the right direction for token price stabilization, there are others who fear the risks involved. WLFI price fell under pressure selling and hit a low of $0.2106 on the following day of the announcement.

WLFI price at $0.2547, down 9.2%.

Market commentators note that the success of the burn plan hinges on the percentage of fees it remits. The proposal lacks clarity on current revenue figures, making it challenging to predict the immediate impact on WLFI prices.

These latest events demonstrate growing interest in e-money and its future evolution. As this family makes its way through this unstable market, its final result will be watched.
