World Liberty Fi, the crypto fund associated with Donald Trump, has surprised the market with another unexpected acquisition. This time, it grabbed EOS tokens, just as the project prepares for a rebranding and a ticker change. The purchase happened right before the swap deadline and immediately caught the attention of analysts and speculators.
🔹 $3 Million for a Token Changing Its Identity
The fund purchased EOS for approximately $2.99 million USDT, using the decentralized exchange PancakeSwap, acquiring the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) version of EOS. The average price was around $0.82, while the market rate fluctuated between $0.80 and $0.84 due to low liquidity.
Notably, the fund didn’t buy EOS from its native blockchain, but from BSC — which may complicate the swap process for the new Vaulta token that will replace EOS.
🔹 A Surprising Diversification Beyond Ethereum
So far, World Liberty Fi has focused mainly on the Ethereum ecosystem and BNB Chain — even its stablecoin, WLUSD, runs on BNB. The acquisition of EOS, which operates on its own separate blockchain, is therefore seen as an unexpected strategic shift.
The fund’s total portfolio is now valued at around $106 million, with many assets still actively traded or swapped.
🔹 EOS: Huge ICO, Modest Outcome
EOS was once a shining star of the ICO boom — raising a staggering $4.6 billion in ETH, which was massive even by 2018 standards. However, despite the massive fundraising, the network failed to gain traction in decentralized applications and currently has only about 2,800 daily active users.
The total value locked (TVL) in EOS-based DeFi apps is just $690 million, relatively low compared to younger chains like Solana. Most trading activity for EOS remains concentrated on Binance, where the token still holds liquidity.
🔹 Buying Just Before the Token Swap
The rebranding of EOS into a new project called Vaulta has been officially announced, with the swap function live since May 14. This means World Liberty Fi will soon need to either trade or convert its EOS holdings before the original token is delisted and replaced with the new ticker “A.”
The timing of the purchase raises questions: Is this just a short-term speculative move? Or does the fund have inside knowledge the public doesn’t?
🔹 Community Recalls Past Losses
The fund’s previous investments, such as in the MOVE (Movement) project, ended with losses following controversies over market makers and insider token allocations. That has led many to question the motivation behind this latest EOS buy — and wonder if it’s a bet on the revival of the project under the Vaulta brand.
Others speculate that it may be a strategic move based on undisclosed information, hinting that World Liberty Fi might know something that the market doesn't.
