What is WLFI and why the $75M DeFi loan ?

WLFI is Trump-family's World Liberty Financial, a DeFi token project. They borrowed $75M stablecoins on Dolomite using 5B WLFI tokens as collateral, dominating the pool and locking users out temporarily.

Why did WLFI freeze Justin Sun's wallet?

They claimed it was part of blacklisting 272 phishing-linked wallets to protect users. Sun calls it unfair, says he's the largest victim with $107M locked, and governance was rigged.

Will WLFI token recover after Sun's criticism?

Doubtful short-term — it's down 18% to $0.079. Liquidity issues and insider drama could push it lower unless they fix freezes and return user access.
