Trumps “crypto project technically isn’t even a token or coin.

It’s a pre sale voucher on a defi lending protocol- that looks like crypto- but really isn’t. There’s no off ramp, unless you’re an insider.

It literally doesn’t get any worse than this. 🤣

Ways you can give money legally to the president-elect:
*$1M for a Mar-a-Lago membership — more than double the president's salary
*Buy his crypto token
*Stay at his resorts/Golf
*Trump Bibles
*Assorted knickknacks including digital ones

Crypto lending — a major factor in the 2022 crypto meltdown — is having a comeback. In fact, one crypto lender just hired the guy accused of bankrupting BlockFi after he extended a huge line of credit to FTX based on a pinky swear.
Crypto lending is having a renaissance, even after (primarily institutional) lending was a major factor in the 2022 meltdown. Although many firms had to limit or discontinue their borrowing and lending programs in the US as regulators tried to mop up the disaster and prevent a future one, Trump’s deregulatory spree has emboldened crypto firms to relaunch these products [I74, 76]. Both Coinbase and Crypto.com have announced partnerships with the Morpho defi lending protocol, advertising yields of more than 10% to their customers.43 On the borrowing side, customers are allowed to borrow up to $1 million against bitcoin collateral. According to blockchain analysis, Coinbase customers have altogether borrowed over $1 billion since the product’s January launch.44 One major issue with crypto lending is that it introduces systemic leverage that can amplify market crashes. Borrowers often borrow against, say, bitcoin in order to buy more bitcoin. This creates a feedback loop of risk: when bitcoin prices fall, borrowers simultaneously lose value on their original collateral and on their newly acquired bitcoin, rapidly pushing them toward overleveraged positions. When numerous borrowers are forced to liquidate at once, the resulting sell pressure can create a snowball effect that drives prices down further and becomes very difficult to stop. The Coinbase/Morpho partnership has also drawn some scrutiny from crypto media outlets over its opacity, with Decrypt writing, “it’s unclear whether the arrangement poses conflicts of interest or could potentially put user funds at greater risk.”45 Galaxy Digital is also in the crypto lending business, currently offering yields of around 8% with their Galaxy One lending product. To lead the division, they’ve just brought on Zac Prince, a name some readers may recognize from the FTX trial days. He’s the former CEO of BlockFi, a crypto lender that offered similar yields during the early 2020s crypto bubble, before going bankrupt after the FTX collapse. He’s also the one who testified during the FTX trial that “the majority of balance sheets that we received from cryptocurrency firms were unaudited”, and that BlockFi “always relied on the information that we were given by counterparties as being truthful and accurate” [FTX8]. A creditors’ committee in that bankruptcy later issued a report describing Prince as largely responsible for his company’s failure, outlining how he repeatedly overruled concerns about BlockFi’s overexposure to FTX. In August 2021, a little over a year before FTX’s collapse, Prince told his company’s risk management team they needed to “get comfortable [with Alameda] being a three arrows size borrower” [I33]. (In June 2022, Three Arrows Capital blew up, helping to kick off the cascading collapse in the crypto world [W3IGG].)

More Markets exploited for $9.3 million

More Markets exploited for $9.3 million Defi lending project More Markets lost $9.3 million after an attacker was able to trick the lending protocol logic and empty the project's reserve. The attack was noticed by blockchain security researchers at Blockaid; More Labs later announced they were investigating. Oddly, while acknowledging that funds had been stolen, they wrote, "Our initial investigation reveals that MORE was not exploited. MORE's contracts are secure. MORE is solvent. The protocol is paused." They claimed that only 5% of the assets were bridged out of the Flow blockchain, though did not explain how they planned to prevent the attacker from moving more tokens or collapsing the token price entirely.

Moonwell lending protocol suffers $1.78 million loss after second oracle misconfiguration in four months

February 15, 2026
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=moonwell-exploit
Moonwell lending protocol suffers $1.78 million loss after second oracle misconfiguration in four months After an oracle misconfiguration, the Moonwell defi lending protocol accumulated $1.78 million in bad debt. When the protocol showed that cbETH was priced at just over a dollar, rather than its actual market price of around $2,200, bots and humans alike rushed to take advantage of the mispricing. The error cascaded into liquidations across the platform. This is the second time Moonwell has suffered a loss thanks to an oracle misconfiguration. In November 2025, the platform was left with almost $3.7 million in bad debt after a different asset was mispriced. Although the vulnerable pull requests were at least partially developed by an AI tool, the security auditor who initially attributed the vulnerability to Claude Opus 4.6 later softened his criticism, noting that even senior developers could have made the same mistake. He did, however, criticize the project for a lack of sufficiently rigorous testing that should have caught the issue.
