🐸 The Trump Foundation is gearing up for a bullrun
Friends, the Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial (WLF) platform has grown its cryptocurrency portfolio to nearly $350 million in recent days, with more than $100 million invested in ETH in just 24 hours.
Those close to the project are talking about the presidential administration's grand plans for ether. Getting to the bottom of it...
💸 What does the fund own?
On January 19, WLF acquired more than 25k ETH, increasing its portfolio to nearly 42k coins worth $141 million.
It's notable that this happened exactly the day before the inauguration - they were probably expecting a bull rally to start right after the presidency began.
Back in late November 2024, the project only owned $55 million worth of crypto — two months later, the portfolio was 6 times larger.
📑 According to Arkham, there are now WLF:
• ETH and $215 million worth of liquid stETH staking tokens;
• a wrapped version of bitcoin WBTC at $50 million;
• TRX, AAVE, LINK and ENA for $25 million;
• USDC and USDT stablecoins and other coins for $60 million.
🔹 According to Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, the Trump family is looking to launch several Ethereum-based businesses and are exploring other blockchains such as Bitcoin and Solana.
If the US does integrate ETH into government processes, the coin could see tremendous growth - which is probably why it makes up over 60% of WLF's portfolio.
🛡 Ethereum: paradigm shift
The active buying of Ethereum has coincided with a massive change in the Ethereum Foundation (EF) organization.
Previously, the foundation used ETH exclusively to sell tokens, pay grants, and create event tickets. Buterin refused to staking due to regulatory risks and conflicts of interest.
But recently Vitalik announced that he was ready for staking, but the question of expediency arose: it would have brought the fund $26 million in annual revenue, while spending $135 million.
At the same time, the other day a wallet controlled by the fund was registered, which conducted a transaction for 50k ETH. On January 21, EF said that this wallet will be used for the fund's participation in DeFi projects.
❕ It is not yet clear which blockchain will be preferred by the US administration, but it is already clear that the WLF portfolio can serve as a benchmark: where more people invest, the strongest growth is expected. And right now it is ETH 🔥
