WLFI's insider-lending slide: a record low via a WLF insider's own platform

On April 10, 2026, WLFI fell to a record low of about $0.08, roughly 82% below its September 2025 high, amid what critics compared to FTX-style self-dealing: WLF's treasury had pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in WLFI tokens - around 5% of supply - as collateral on Dolomite, a lending platform co-founded by Corey Caplan, reported as WLF's chief technology officer or an adviser, borrowing stablecoins against the family token through an insider-linked venue.

The structure concentrates the conflict: the family firm using its own token as collateral on a platform co-founded by its own executive is the kind of related-party leverage that magnified past crypto blowups. When WLFI fell, the arrangement amplified the damage, wiping out much of the paper wealth the September unlock had created (CRY-13).

It is the clearest evidence that the family's crypto empire carries not just conflict-of-interest risk but structural, self-referential financial fragility - and that ordinary holders bore the losses.
