Decentralized leveraged trading and lending platform LeverFi has minted 13.7 billion new LEVER tokens, according to onchain data, but the team behind the protocol has yet to offer an explanation.

The quiet minting event has raised concerns within the crypto community, especially given its timing so close to a delisting decision from Binance. The major crypto exchange said it plans to delist LEVER on July 4.
