WLFI hit its lowest price since its 2025 launch after the Trump-linked project publicly defended using 5 billion of its own governance tokens as collateral to borrow $75M in stablecoins on Dolomite — a protocol co-founded by a WLFI adviser. The team called liquidation fears "FUD" and framed itself as an "anchor borrower" generating yield for others, but the rebuttal only deepened the selloff. WLFI's $65M in treasury buybacks are now roughly 48% underwater, and another 3 billion tokens sit in an intermediary wallet with no disclosed destination.
A StarkWare researcher has published the first scheme to make bitcoin transactions quantum-resistant on the live network today — no protocol change, no miner signaling, no activation timeline required. The catch: each transaction costs up to $200 in off-chain GPU computation and can't travel through the normal network or the Lightning Network. Designed as a last-resort emergency measure, it contrasts with BIP-360, the long-term soft fork proposal that has no implementation timeline and could take years to activate.
A new Chainalysis report projects adjusted stablecoin transaction volumes will hit $719 trillion by 2035 through organic growth alone — up from $28 trillion in 2025. Two macro catalysts could push that figure toward $1.5 quadrillion: the transfer of an estimated $100 trillion from Baby Boomers to crypto-native Millennials and Gen Z, and deepening point-of-sale integration that could make stablecoin payments as frictionless as a card swipe.
