World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture linked to the Trump family, has engaged in significant transactions through the DeFi protocol Dolomite, raising concerns about insider access and potential risks to other depositors. On February 8, WLFI's treasury deposited 14 million USD1, its stablecoin, into Dolomite as collateral, borrowing 11.4 million USDC. This was followed by a transfer of 11.45 million USDC to a Coinbase Prime address. Subsequent transactions involved large deposits of WLFI tokens into Dolomite, with 1.99 billion WLFI now used as collateral, resulting in $31.4 million in stablecoin loans. The involvement of Dolomite's co-founder Corey Caplan, who is also an advisor to WLFI, adds to the scrutiny. WLFI's activities have led to a high concentration of liquidity within Dolomite, with WLFI accounting for 55% of the protocol's total supply liquidity. Concerns are heightened by the USD1 pool's high utilization ratio of 93%, which could restrict withdrawals for ordinary depositors. Additionally, the limited market depth of WLFI tokens poses a risk of significant price drops if liquidation mechanisms are triggered. Recent movements of 3 billion WLFI tokens to a Gnosis Safe proxy wallet further complicate the situation, with their destination still unclear.
