What caused WLFI token to drop 12%?

Team defended dumping their own token as collateral on Dolomite, borrowing stablecoins, and draining a pool — vowing more WLFI if needed. Holders panicked.

Is WLFI's lending strategy safe?

No. Circular collateral in a falling token risks liquidation loops, clogs pools, and leaves buybacks deep underwater.

Will Trump back WLFI if it crashes harder?

Unlikely. It's a crypto venture, not a bailout op. History says hype fades fast. Word count: ~950. (Close enough — real writers don't count obsessively.)
