World Liberty Defends $75 Million Stablecoin Loan Backed by 5 Billion WLFI on Dolomite

Analysts warn the illiquid collateral leaves other Dolomite lenders exposed.

Overview

  • On-chain data shows World Liberty Financial posted about 5 billion WLFI as collateral on Dolomite and borrowed roughly $75 million in USDC and USD1, with tens of millions later sent to Coinbase Prime deposit addresses.
  • WLFI now accounts for more than half of assets supplied on Dolomite, and metrics show the USD1 pool running near 93% utilization, which can block many depositors from withdrawing until the large borrower repays.
  • Dolomite co-founder Corey Caplan advises World Liberty, a direct link that has sharpened questions about risk controls and decision-making as the WLFI position concentrates exposure on the protocol.
  • World Liberty called liquidation worries “FUD,” said the position sits well above trigger levels, and pledged it could add collateral, while WLFI’s price fell about 5.6% on the day and roughly 14% over the week.
  • The team says a governance vote next week will propose phased token unlocks, and DeFi researchers caution that shallow WLFI market depth could turn any forced sale into bad debt borne by stablecoin lenders.
