ethereum:0xda5e1988097297dcdc1f90d4dfe7909e847cbef6 buybacks are intended to strengthen WLFI governance participation by an active community of long-term holders.
USD1 is an important part of the WLFI ecosystem. As USD1 supply grows, the potential economics associated with USD1 and overall ecosystem activity may also grow. WLFI buybacks may be funded from various sources. A substantial portion of USD1 gross revenue is paid to partners and service providers. Any resources available to support buybacks from USD1-related economics therefore depend on the amounts retained after partner distributions, direct costs and other obligations.
Buybacks will be executed on Aster through this wallet: bscscan.com/address/0x0f5d11…
The community can follow the wallet’s activity and buyback transactions onchain.
The timing, size and execution of any buybacks will be determined based on available resources, applicable requirements and assessment of buyback impact on governance participation, and may be modified or discontinued at any time.
The difference I see this cycle is the amount of people asking me about ethereum:native . Ive been blessed to be surrounded by some of the best business minds in the world and they know I've been in $eth since inception basically ( still hold my bags ), and very bullish on its technology and use cases. Whats different this time?? Normally they would ask me why not majority bitcoin:native ( I do hold some btc, and a few other projects ofc ) This time around, they are asking me where the best places to buy large amounts of ethereum:native are. These are NON crypto people, they own either no crypto or very little crypto. I'm not entirely sure what to make of that tbh and I don't want to make any assumptions of where price will go or what not. It does seem however that people are starting to see that the base layer of this amazing system we all call crypto is indeed ethereum:native . This isn't to discredit any other tokens or projects. I personally believe wall/main street looks at things of ease of access, safety and security. Now onto my logic as to why they are doing this....I personally DON'T think many people will speculate on these crypto markets as the ratio of people who speculate the equities markets is tiny compared to overall working class population ( roughly 10% globally..excluding retirement accounts/401ks, etc) . The reason I think that is a true statement is because most people don't have the luxury to speculate. So what does that mean??? Well, they need to be met where they currently are using money. As a large amount of people live paycheck to paycheck they fall in the class of consumers not investors, sadly. However with stablecoins and account infrastructure you can impact the masses right where they are consuming so they dont need to change anything about their day to day lives.... They just are rewarded more for spending on the things they already spend on. With it done right, you have the chance to turn billions of consumers into investors as they'll finally get something for their consistent spending. For example, if a person who makes $5k a month and lives paycheck to paycheck. The current system makes them essentially restart each month with nothing. Where if they were allowed to be in a stable coin account and that earned say 5%+/- yearly. They'd have $250+/- extra money sitting in their account at the end of each month. You find me a single person who says "I don't want that" and I'll find you a BANKER or a LIAR :). So I believe the ease of use and safety of stablecoins on ETH rails will be the fundamental shift that brings about the true mass adoption of this amazing technology called crypto to the real world! These aren't just my speculations either. ETH is currently where the majority of stables transact and live. When it comes to my what I've seen in my investing career. IMO, Bigger investors want to invest in the assets that tackle those 10 year cycle problems. Now add on self custody, a staking yield, zero downtime, etc and I think you'll understand why $eth is the talk of the town when it comes to wall street and the big tech giants. I also am very curious to when AI starts to adopt ETh rails and stables in large doses. As it's very apparent the current banking rails could never move at the speed of AI. It's also why I think that eth takes such a beating lately...they've truly become a threat to the way things are and those people will do whatever they can to stop the change in the landscape. This is something I can speak to personally and when I say, they'll fight tooth and nail to keep things the way they are....I'm not exaggerating! ethereum:native
More YUGE announcements coming soon!!! Stay tuned!!! solana:WLFinEv6ypjkczcS83FZqFpgFZYwQXutRbxGe7oC16g
The success of $USD1 and the growing WLFI ecosystem is helping us launch a new $WLFI token buyback program to strengthen the WLFI ecosystem and governance.
We plan to fund buybacks with an initial allocation that may include fees earned from USD1 reserves and other sources. We’ll start with an initial allocation and evaluate the program over time.
The goal is to encourage active participation in WLFI governance and consolidate voting power among our most committed long-term holders.
We intend for buybacks to be an ongoing part of our long-term strategy with the pace and scale guided by ecosystem growth and impact on governance participation.
We’re building for the long term, alongside the holders who share that vision. 🦅🦅🦅
Goat move!!! Hats off @elonmusk
ethereum:0x8d0d000ee44948fc98c9b98a4fa4921476f08b0d ethereum:0xda5e1988097297dcdc1f90d4dfe7909e847cbef6 x @Aster_DEX 🤝
Aster DEX pushed $2.57B through its USD1 markets in a single week
@Aster_DEX posted Epoch 3 results for its USD1 RWA Boost: 1,001 active accounts drove $2.57B in taker volume across seven real-world asset markets, from gold and oil to SpaceX.
Epoch 4 runs through Sunday with the same weekly pools of 347,222 $USD1 and 6.94M $WLFI. Traders earn USD1 through volume and WLFI by holding positions.
Your mind works in an amazingly unique way! Well done and best wishes on your position hunting. Im biased, as im in the same camp that this is ETH's cycle for the reasons above and many more! 🤝
This $ETH trade on @DeriveXYZ really got the people going so I'll explain my thought process.
I'm not really interested in betting on an $ETH move to $3000, especially with tokens like $HYPE and $LIT pushing all time highs. $ETH trading like 1.1x $BTC beta isn't bad, but it's also not extremely interesting to me as a bet to make here in the near term considering there's plenty of beta outperforming $BTC here. Holding spot $ETH feels capital inefficient and as a perp would be expensive and path dependent.
I'm betting on a meaningful ATH break within 6 months, and I think there are a few meaningful tailwinds that are unique to $ETH, and more importantly, unique to the level at which people are underestimating them:
1. Inclusion with $BTC as a "reserve" asset in anything resembling a strategic reserve. I think the strategic reserve overall might be an underpriced edge case, and $ETH being included, even nominally, more so. There's actually a good reason for the US to want to have some stake in the largest decentralized settlement layer.
2. Tokenized equities are cool and all, but tokenized bonds might actually be the massive TAM unlock that overwhelmingly favors $ETH over $SOL. The current rates environment globally makes this an extremely interesting edge case with tons of potential positive headline shock.
3. Trump and family have been extremely outspoken $ETH bulls. Their bullposting didn't work in a bear market, let's see what happens if they throw fuel on the fire in a more bullish environment.
4. Everyone hates $ETH. Extremely popular short leg for pair trades vs apps. With two rejections from 5k and years of underperformance, the level of hated rally and sidelined, jaded, despondent chasing from 🏳️🌈🐻 will be biblical.
I also see $ETH as being on the precipice of a phase change between being some not for profit, public good, growth mode asset (think early stage 2010-2014 Uber in SF just cornering market share at no profit) to being able to more confidently monetize on it's high Lindy, credibly neutral status as the on chain, global settlement layer.
Robinhood chain using $ETH over $SOL was quite a bit more signal than people give it credit for too, though $ETH is still making peanuts relative to what $ARB and $HOOD are making from sequencer fees.
If the massively positive trends in tokenization and institutional adoption don't take $ETH to new ATHs within 6 months, it's kinda cursed as an asset, and I'd rather just keep holding the application layer tokens with massive cash flows.
In fact, I thought this trade was so nice, I did it twice. Risking ~$780,000 for a max PNL of $40m now.
One thing I've found in every great builder is.....GRIT! The simple go go go paired with a IDAF attitude is a wild impressive superpower! Learn to not GAF about most things in life and just stick to your path and keep it moving! Enjoy the cycles of the space, this is crypto!
Believe in somETHing! The dark times of crypto always seem to shake people up the same if not worse as the one prior. If your thesis that brought you here hasn’t changed then the noise isn’t worth listening to.
We're builders at heart, so we just keep building! Today marks another monumental benchmark reached from relentless hard work from our entire team and our partners! We're very excited and honored for the launch of the USD1/BTC perpetual pair on @binance This is a very big step for #USD1 and the entire @worldlibertyfi ecosystem on its very advantageous journey of becoming a global leader in the reshaping of the digital finance landscape! Launching 5/18

We’re done with the lies and we’re fighting back. To protect our community and the future of DeFi, World Liberty Financial is suing Justin Sun for defamation.
Read the lawsuit here: url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com…
A perfect Poem for a time like this:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

I always have and always will stand with my brother @ZachWitkoff and the entire @worldlibertyfi team!!! Building is never easy and often riddled with triumphs and failures mixed into a giant maze you need to traverse. I’ll say without a doubt, no other group of guys id rather build with then my brothers!
Justin Sun’s recent lawsuit against @worldlibertyfi is a desperate attempt to deflect attention from Sun’s own misconduct. His claims are entirely meritless, and World Liberty looks forward to getting the case thrown out promptly.
He engaged in misconduct that required World Liberty to take action to protect itself and its users. World Liberty will continue to take all necessary steps to protect its community.
Been brothers with @farokh since before crypto was cool. One of the best things about this space is getting to work alongside so many amazing people and long time friends! Cheers to the next chapter my brother!
HERE. WE. GO.
- Going ALL IN on @BNBCHAIN & USD1
- Myriad Wallet is going LIVE
- New leaderboard and points structure
- FINALLY AN ORDER BOOK!!!
The biggest and most important update since launch is here.
Expect a massive spike in users and volumes, it’s time to compete!
Great time my friend! Thanks for coming out! @worldlibertyfi
Had a blast @mscryptojiayi !!!
The 10-day Binance Square Livestream Community Rewards wrapped up, and it exceeded expectations.
I was in Hong Kong with the two co-founders @zakfolkman @WatcherChase of @worldlibertyfi. We casually opened the Binance App, went into the Live streaming section — and over 30% of the rooms were streaming WLFI / USD1.
@zakfolkman said WLFI’s direction is simple: to make sure the people who actually use USD1 truly benefit — and to gather a group of community representatives who genuinely love USD1 to build this mission together.
“If you have any questions or suggestions — even small ones, even sharp ones — please tell us. We genuinely want to hear the community’s real voice.” That’s something he kept emphasizing during the WLFI community lunch.
I still remember when people noticed both co-founders had eagle 🦅 tattoos. You could see the pride in their eyes. People saw him as energetic, approachable, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the community, not knowing that he was quietly enduring how unwell he felt that day.
During the interview, I asked about his schedule. He said, “When I’m in Hong Kong, meetings usually start at 6am and sometimes go until 3am.” The only thing that can sustain that pace… is probably “passion” for what you’re building.
The Binance livestream community reward was just a test. I’ll continue launching more “social experiments” — trying to design more effective, fair, and unifying ways for the community to build together.
If you like USD1, and if you have ideas on how to co-build — drop them below.
Maybe the next campaign… will be yours. 🦅☝️
是的，币安 10 天的社区直播活动，超出期待地结束了。我和 @worldlibertyfinancial 的两位联合创始人 @zakfolkman @WatcherChase在香港街头，随手打开 Binance App 进入直播广场页面，超过 30% 的房间都在播 WLFI / USD1。
@zakfolkman 说，WLFI 想发展的方向，是让真正使用 USD1 的人受惠，并在这条路上凝聚一群真心喜爱 USD1 的社区代表，共同推进这件事业。
“如果你们有任何疑问或建议，哪怕很小，哪怕很尖锐，都欢迎随时告诉我。我们非常希望听到社区真实的声音。” 这是他在 WLFI 社区代表午餐上反复强调的一句话。
我还记得那天吃饭时，大家发现两位 co-founder 身上都有鹰 🦅 的纹身，他们眼神里的那种自豪感。大家看到的是他激情、亲和、和社区站在一起的样子，却不知道那天他强忍着身体的不适。采访时我问他平时的工作节奏，他说：“通常来香港，早上 6 点开始会议，有时一直到凌晨 3 点。” 我想能支撑这种节奏的，也许只有“热爱”两个字。
币安直播活动只是一次测试。我会继续发起更多新的社会实验，尝试更有效、更公平、更能团结社区的活动方案。
如果你喜欢 USD1，如果你有任何共建的想法，欢迎留言。
说不定，下一个玩法，就按你的来。 🦅☝️
