World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency project associated with former President Donald Trump, has approved a major governance proposal to burn 4.5 billion tokens and reset vesting schedules for 62.3 billion locked tokens. The vote, which concluded on April 15, 2026, saw insiders including founders, advisors, and team members agree to permanently destroy 10% of their holdings. This action is expected to remove 4.5% of WLFI's total 100 billion token supply from circulation forever.
According to CoinDesk, the proposal also establishes a five-year vesting schedule for the remaining 62.28 billion tokens, fundamentally resetting the project's supply structure. At the time of the announcement, WLFI was trading around $0.078 to $0.081, which is approximately 75-82% below its all-time high of $0.46 recorded in September. Community price predictions following the burn target $0.20 by year-end, representing a potential 144-150% gain from current levels.
Simultaneously, the meme coin project Pepeto has raised over $9.21 million in its ongoing presale, with analysts projecting a potential 100x return upon its anticipated Binance listing. The project, priced at $0.0000001865 with a 420 trillion token supply, is being developed by a team that includes a co-founder of the original Pepe meme coin and a former Binance executive. Pepeto's ecosystem features a working multichain exchange (PepetoSwap), a cross-chain bridge supporting Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana, a token risk scanner, and a staking layer offering 181-182% APY. The project's smart contract has undergone a full audit by SolidProof.
The broader crypto market context is notably bullish. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $996 million in net inflows for the week ending April 18, with BlackRock's IBIT alone pulling in $284 million. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw $275 million in inflows, while spot XRP ETFs had their strongest week since January with $55.2 million in inflows, according to data from SoSoValue and Bankless Times. This institutional capital rotation coincides with positive geopolitical developments, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which former President Trump celebrated.
The article presents a stark contrast between the two investment theses. A $2,000 investment in WLFI at $0.081 could return $4,878 if the token reaches the $0.20 target. The same $2,000 invested in Pepeto's presale could, in a 100x scenario, return $200,000. The piece concludes that while WLFI's burn is a significant supply-side event, Pepeto's confirmed Binance listing and presale structure present a more immediate, high-multiple opportunity for early investors.
