How much did WLFI actually print? 👀
yesterday everyone was joking about the whole Trump crypto circus…
today it’s starting to look like a full-on business model
let’s break it down 👇
➥ first red flag
during the WLFI presale, key people were listed as Co-Founders
sale ends → suddenly titles change:
co-founder → chief crypto advocate
co-founder → web3 ambassador
…and then?
they just disappear from the website
clean exit energy.
➥ now the real move
WLFI basically built on top of Dolomite (via advisor Corey Caplan)
then did something interesting:
• deposited ~$400M of their own $WLFI as collateral
• borrowed real demand assets like USDC
translation:
instead of dumping tokens on market (and nuking price)
they loop it into lending and extract liquidity
smart? yes
safe? debatable
➥ problem
more than half of the stable liquidity got pulled
users now limited to:
• ~$32M USD1 (FCFS)
• ~$12M USDC
not exactly DeFi “freedom”
➥ community split
side 1:
“trust the process, nothing will get liquidated”
(usually anon accounts, you know the type)
side 2:
actual builders + analysts raising concerns about user funds
(comparisons to past disasters already floating around)
➥ but zoom out…
this wasn’t random
this is a stacked revenue machine:
• $WLFI presale → ~$550M raised
• $USD1 stablecoin → ~$100M–150M/year revenue
• TRUMP token → ~$800M extracted (rumored)
• MELANIA token → ~$100M+
• NFTs → millions + ongoing fees
and that’s not even counting everything still held
➥ bottom line
this isn’t just crypto
this is politics + branding + DeFi liquidity engineering
and like it or not…
it’s working
the real question:
are you early to the system…
or exit liquidity for it?
