How Does the Issuance of New Tokens for Recapitalization Affect Existing Token Holders?

Issuing new tokens to raise stable capital is dilutive to existing token holders. It increases the total supply, which reduces the value of each existing token's share of the protocol's governance power and future cash flows.

While it restores the protocol's solvency, it comes at the cost of immediate value dilution for current investors.
