The World Liberty Fi DeFi project, linked to the Trump family, has made a bold bet on Ethereum by purchasing more than 250 ETH at a price of $3,895 per token, totaling an investment of $1 million.
š This move comes as Ethereum surges to its highest levels in 2025, with its price crossing $3,940 for the first time since January. A purchase at such a high level suggests strong conviction in continued growth and possibly a breakout to new all-time highs.
On-Chain Data Confirms: Over 256 ETH Acquired
According to blockchain data, the transaction originated from an address starting with ā0xeeā and ending with ā174dc.ā World Liberty Fi acquired 256.75 ETH using USDC worth $1 million. This further strengthens the projectās position in Ethereum.
Over $200 Million in Crypto Portfolio
Arkham Intelligence reports that World Liberty Fi currently holds more than $211 million in digital assets. The portfolio is diversified as follows:
š¹ USDT: $85 million
š¹ WETH: $30 million
š¹ WBTC: $19.33 million
š¹ stETH: $19.18 million
š¹ USDC: $16.43 million
The Ethereum purchase likely represents a strategic reallocation of stablecoin reserves in preparation for upcoming internal initiatives such as tokenization or DeFi development.
Trumpās Stake Shrinks, but Influence Remains
While the project increases its crypto exposure, World Liberty Fiās ownership structure is evolving. Initially, the Trump family held over 75% of the project, but this stake has gradually declined:
š¹ January 24: Dropped to 60%
š¹ Recent days: Further reduced to approximately 40%
According to Forbes, Trump or associated entities may have liquidated up to $190 million worth of WLFI, potentially netting Trump himself around $135 million from the sale.
Bitcoin vs. Ethereum: Diverging Strategies
The Ethereum investment by World Liberty Fi comes at a time when Trumpās other project, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), confirmed it holds $2 billion worth of Bitcoin, accounting for two-thirds of its liquid reserves.
TMTG has also invested $300 million in Bitcoin derivatives and filed for several crypto ETF fundsāincluding one with a 75% Bitcoin and 25% Ethereum allocation.
Politics and Crypto: Ethical Concerns Emerge
Analysts are raising concerns as Trumpās political career becomes increasingly intertwined with direct financial exposure to crypto.
