★Trump-linked WLFI hits new low as token-backed loan triggers concern
"This project used its own tokens as collateral for a huge loan, raising serious questions about its financial stability and token valuation. Such practices can create a death spiral for a token, eroding investor trust across the wider crypto market."

The Big Coin Report Take
The Trump-linked WLFI token recently plunged to a new record low. This downturn followed revelations that the project collateralized a $75 million stablecoin loan using billions of its own tokens. This event underscores the inherent risks of token-backed lending, particularly when projects use their native, often illiquid, assets as collateral, potentially creating a downward spiral if prices fall. The key data point here is the $75 million loan backed by the project's own tokens. Moving forward, investors should watch for potential liquidations or further price volatility, as well as broader market reactions to such self-collateralized lending practices.
