World Liberty Financial To Launch New WLFI Token Buyback Program

World Liberty Financial plans to launch a new buyback program for its WLFI token, introducing a potential source of demand for the asset. The initial funding allocation may include fees earned from USD1 reserves, alongside other sources, but the announcement provides no specific buyback amount or schedule. If implemented, the program could support WLFI demand, though its impact will depend on the scale and funding of the purchases.

Soybeans and corn firm on higher oil prices, but set for weekly losses

Soybean and corn futures edged higher on Friday as rising crude oil prices supported the grain and oilseed markets, but both remained on track for weekly losses. Soybeans were up 0.4% to $11.93-1/2 per bushel while corn gained 0.3% to $4.41-1/2; soybeans were still down more than 3% for the week, and corn faced a sixth consecutive weekly decline. Expectations for record-large US soybean production and ample global supplies could continue to pressure prices despite support from stronger oil markets.

Cory Fields proposes quantum landmines to deter Bitcoin theft

Bitcoin Core developer Cory Fields has proposed “quantum landmines,” a thought experiment that would require would-be quantum thieves to post collateral before attempting to steal vulnerable BTC. The concept could reward honest behavior or forfeit collateral after attempted theft, but depends on quantum-safe wallets and unresolved soft-fork rules; approximately 7.1 million BTC, or 35% of circulating supply, currently sit in wallets with exposed public keys. If developers refine the proposal and reach community agreement, it could add an economic deterrent to Bitcoin’s quantum-security defenses, though no implementation is currently underway.

Persistent geopolitical risks could support further oil rebounds, although expectations of a Middle East resolution could continue pressuring prices.
