E dey increase headline risk, make people dey unsure about how dem go take access the token, and boost chances for volatility spikes. Even though WLFI talk say the freeze na based on contract and terms (so e reduce chance say dem go reverse am quick), court time fit make the matter last and keep market people dey worry about exchange/liquidity impact and possible on‑chain interpretations. For long term, the outcome fit clear the legitimacy, but until then the immediate trading setup na risk‑off for WLFI.
