Important Highlights
- Trump linked project World Liberty Financial bought 3,473 ETH for $13M
- Ethereum ETFs saw $533.9M in inflows the same day while Bitcoin ETFs dropped
- The WLFI token will be unlocked within the next six to eight weeks.
Trump Linked Project Drops Millions on Ethereum
In a surprising but bold move, a Trump linked crypto group, World Liberty Financial, just bought over 3,400 ETH dropping roughly $13 million in a single night.
That’s right. According to data from Arkham Intelligence and on-chain tracker Lookonchain, the group picked up 3,473 ETH at around $3,743 per coin.
And they didn’t stop there they immediately staked all of it on Aave, a well-known decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that lets users earn interest by lending out their crypto.
So, what’s the result? World Liberty Financial now holds a jaw-dropping 73,616 ETH, worth nearly $276 million at today’s market prices.
Clearly, this isn’t just some quick flip they’re making a long-term play.
Why the Trump Linked Crypto Bet Matters Right Now
Here’s where it gets interesting.
On the same day this buy happened, Ethereum ETFs (exchange-traded funds) saw a flood of new money — over $533.9 million in net inflows, according to SoSoValue.
That’s massive. Especially when you consider that Bitcoin ETFs actually saw $67.9 million in outflows that day.
Then what does that tell us? Investment in Ethereum, not Bitcoin, is booming.
And the numbers back it up. According to The Block, Ethereum’s price stayed flat around $3,729 over 24 hours, but over the last month, it’s up 67%.
That’s a big move and this Trump linked group seems to be riding that wave.
WLFI Token Unlock Coming Soon from Trump Linked Team
But there’s more.
World Liberty Financial isn’t just stacking ETH.
They’re getting ready to launch their own token, WLFI. According to the team, the WLFI token is set to unlock in about 6 to 8 weeks.
In their own words:
“The complete awakening strategic alignments (alliances, great stages, smart unlocks) will take 6 to 8 weeks to achieve their full potential.”
In simpler terms: they’re planning something big, and they’re asking the market to be patient while they roll it out.
If this launch lines up with the growing interest in Ethereum, it could give the WLFI token a real chance to gain momentum.
What It All Means for Crypto
It’s pretty clear: Ethereum is having a moment. Institutions are pouring money into it, and projects like World Liberty Financial are doubling down not just by buying, but by staking it on DeFi platforms like Aave.
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, this might be your sign that Ethereum’s no longer just the “other” cryptocurrency next to Bitcoin.
It’s becoming the go-to for projects with big plans, especially those with political or cultural influence like this Trump linked venture.
And with the WLFI token unlock coming soon, we might be seeing the early stages of something that could get much bigger.
If that token launch connects with the current ETH excitement, it could grab serious attention.
