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.
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.

This surge in social mentions reflects crossover momentum from political discourse to crypto markets.
The spillover effect also extended to Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT), the parent company of Trump’s corporate ventures. DJT shares closed Friday up 3%, with the firm’s valuation climbing to $4.8 billion, aligning with the upside momentum seen in WLFI market on Sunday.
The media buzz surrounding WLFI’s token burn has also drawn attention to early-stage projects like SUBBD ($SUBBD).
SUBBD merges fan interactions with AI-powered personalization, enabling creators to monetize communities through blockchain-backed channels.
The presale has already raised $1.16 million of its $1.34 million target, with tokens trading at $0.056 each. With just over 24 hours until the next price unlock, participants can still secure allocations through the official website.
