In the early hours of the day, World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project known for its connections with former US President Donald Trump, executed a strategic move by acquiring 3,473 Ethereum (ETH) 
$2,411 worth 13 million USD. The blockchain research platform Lookonchain, through Arkham Intelligence data, reported that the purchase was conducted across multiple wallet addresses at an average rate of 3,743 USD per ETH. These acquired Ethereum assets were staked on the decentralized finance platform, Aave, showcasing the project’s active engagement in DeFi.
World Liberty Financial’s Recent Ethereum Acquisition Details
Currently, World Liberty Financial holds a substantial total of approximately 275.9 million USD, equivalent to 73,616 ETH. This latest acquisition occurred during a period when Ethereum’s popularity is rising among institutional investors. On July 22, there was a net influx of 533.9 million USD into spot Ethereum ETFs, while spot Bitcoin 
$0.005771 ETFs experienced a 67.9 million USD outflow on the same day. The price of ETH remained steady around 3,729 USD over the past 24 hours, experiencing a 20% increase over the past week and a significant 67.1% rise over the past month.
By leveraging this strong institutional interest in Ethereum, World Liberty Financial staked its ETH on Aave to generate passive income. This decision demonstrates the project’s intent to not only hold onto ETH investments but to also maximize their potential through income-generating opportunities.
Preparations Progress for WLFI Coin
Concurrently, World Liberty Financial is preparing to release its cryptocurrency, WLFI coin. The project team announced last week that the WLFI would officially start trading within the next six to eight weeks. The team emphasized that significant collaborations, partnerships, and smart coin unlocking processes require time for completion, ensuring a careful and planned market launch.
The introduction of WLFI coin is expected to strengthen World Liberty Financial’s position in the cryptocurrency space, alongside its investments in major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. The project garners notable attention, particularly due to its Trump association.
