Listened to an interview where the guest had invested millions into one of these projects (WLFI/USD1). He makes a couple interesting points but essentially it boiled down to less of an interest in the actual politics of it all and more of a pragmatic choice due to the coins backers. I think it can both be a speculative play and a genuine step toward crypto adoption at the same time. With elephants like these players in the room the discussion has to happen, I think we would always end up in the same spot this will just catapult the conversation forward. Here's a link to the interview, timestamped where he comments on his WLFI investment/reasoning: [https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/1924719237475795457?t=2620](https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/1924719237475795457?t=2620)
On March 25, 2025, the Trump-affiliated crypto platform World Liberty Financial published its own stablecoin, USD1. Before the 2024 Election, the Trump Family launched their own crypto business, World Liberty Financial. What this business does is not entirely clear, but their stated goal is to make America great again by driving the mass adoption of stablecoins and to bridge traditional and crypto finance. They have stated their intention to create a blockchain-based "credit account system" to decentralise lending and borrowing and extend lines of credit in various digital currencies. At this stage, WLF has only sold governance tokens, accumulated a portfolio of other tokens, and had a limited launch of its stablecoin offering. However, WLF may provide services similar to those of an investment bank, like Charles Schwab, for the crypto space in the future. The leadership consists of Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Alex, and Zach Witkoff (sons of Steve Witkoff) and their friends Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman (who have a problematic history in the crypto industry). Donald and Barron Trump hold the flattering but unofficial positions of Chief Crypto Advocate and DeFi Visionary, respectively. World Liberty Financial claims to be a 'DeFi' platform, meaning it is decentralised. In the crypto world, decentralised organisations are not run by a central authority like a board of directors, but are democratically run by those who hold governance tokens (the crypto equivalent of voting shares, kind of). Some organisations are called DAOs (Decentralised Autonomous Organisations), in which token holders vote on proposals (with their votes being recorded on the public blockchain). These are then executed by smart contracts that follow preprogrammed rules. You don't need me to tell you this, but World Liberty Financial is not decentralised. It is, in fact, a Delaware non-stock corporation owned and controlled by WLF Holdco LLC (which holds $22.5 billion worth of $WLFI tokens), which is owned by DT Marks DEFI LLC, a Trump family business. While they offer governance tokens ($WLFI), real power is concentrated. The $550 million worth of governance tokens sold so far allows holders to vote on some proposals. However, most of the tokens are owned by Trump organisations, and the outcome of the votes does not need to be honoured. All significant decisions are made by DT Marks DEFI LLC, Axiom Management Group (AMC), and WC Digital Fi LLC. Furthermore, these tokens do not confer ownership rights or a share of WLF's revenue. Instead, WLF retains $30 million of the revenue for operational expenses. The remaining revenue is split with 75% going to DT Marks DEFI LLC (the Delaware based company owned by the Trump family), 12.5% going to Axiom Management (a Puerto Rican based company owned by Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman), and 12.5% going to WC Digital Fi LLC (owned by the Witkoff family). $550 million worth of WLFI tokens have been sold. At this stage, they are not transferable. However, it has been suggested that this may change in the future. A separate concern is who owns these governance tokens. To avoid SEC registration and oversight from the CFTC and Treasury, $WLFI was initially only offered to those on a white list of non-U.S. persons and accredited U.S. investors. This means that most $WLFI holders are not from the United States. Justin Sun, the owner of the crypto company TRON, who was facing SEC Fraud charges before they were recently dropped, owns $75 million worth of $WLFI and is an official advisor. Recently, the United Arab Emirates pledged to do $2 billion in business in USD1. Mr Witkoff, Mr Folkman and Mr Herro met with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, and other Pakistani officials to discuss World Liberty Financial. Zach Witkoff has openly said that World Liberty Financial is targeting the business of sovereign investors and major institutions, intending to integrate WLF's stablecoin, USD1, into their strategies for cross-border transitions. In April 2025, an Emirates-based crypto market maker, DWF Labs, accused of market manipulation by the Wall Street Journal, purchased $25 million worth of $WLFI tokens in a private deal and agreed to provide liquidity for an upcoming "USD1" stablecoin launch. On March 25, 2025, the Trump-affiliated crypto platform World Liberty Financial published its own stablecoin, USD1. USD1 already has a market cap of over $2 billion. The top four fiat-backed stablecoins, in order, are USDT (Tether), USDC (Circle), BUIDL (Blackrock), and USD1 (World Liberty Financial). The reserve funds for the stablecoin are held by BitGo, a digital asset trust invested in by Crypto Csar David Sacks. Currently, USD1 is issued on the Binance and Ethereum blockchains, with 99% of its supply coming from Binance. Binance is a Chinese blockchain run by a Chinese company fined over $4.3 billion for money laundering.

This is shady AF. If the founders are out, what’s the future for $WLFI?
The lawsuit against WLFI co-founders Chase Herro and Zak Folkman over the $2.5 million hack highlights ongoing issues with client reimbursements in crypto projects, with some founders failing to fulfill reimbursement promises. This situation underscores the risks and lack of protections for investors in unregulated crypto ventures, as evidenced by similar incidents involving hacks and client losses. * [How Trump's crypto business partners left their old clients in the lurch](https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/global-trends/how-trumps-crypto-business-partners-left-their-old-clients-in-the-lurch/articleshow/121267140.cms) ^(This is a bot made by [Critique AI](https://critique-labs.ai).

tldr; World Liberty Financial (WLFI) co-founders Chase Herro and Zak Folkman are facing a lawsuit for failing to reimburse clients of their previous venture, Dough Finance, after a $2.5 million hack in July 2024. Despite promises to compensate token holders, most repayments were in nearly worthless tokens. Dough Finance shut down after the hack, and its co-founders launched WLFI, which has since become successful. A former Dough investor is suing Herro to recover losses, with a trial set for April 2026. The case raises questions about the co-founders' accountability. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
It shouldn't be difficult for them to reimburse the clients now, given the profits made from WLFI.
HTX also hinting that WLFI will be listed soon: https://x.com/htx_global/status/1919711489960595944?s=46 Justin Sun already outright said it will be listed soon: https://x.com/justinsuntron/status/1919655004295856277?s=46
Seems unlikely as WLFI is not tradeable at all atm, but who knows
https://x.com/justinsuntron/status/1919655004295856277?t=68Sp3n6hbJsxhLN5_9vnpQ&s=19 Justin Sun confirms WLFI will be listed soon on HTX
"Stake" in WLFI. They own 60% of the unregistered exchange.
[https://x.com/WhiteRock\_Fi/status/1844820398388531595](https://x.com/WhiteRock_Fi/status/1844820398388531595) I was confused with a tweet about the Vitalik foundation. Anyway, in their Telegram community they have been transparent about gifting these tokens to WLFI from the very start.
I legit have no idea what you're saying, construct comprehensible sentences? WhiteRock never announced they were part of WLFI. On their Twitter you can find they mentioned months ago they airdropped the tokens to WLFI.
TL;DR >World Liberty aggressively **sold influence**: startups were asked to buy millions of dollars' worth of Trump-affiliated crypto ($WLFI) in secret deals to gain association and credibility. >Trump **changed policy** to favor crypto — appointing friendly regulators, disbanding Biden-era crypto investigations, and pushing initiatives like a **U.S. Crypto Reserve** — while personally profiting through World Liberty's investments (especially in Bitcoin, Ether, and a Trump-backed stablecoin "USD1"). >**Foreign investors** (from Israel, Hong Kong, UAE) poured money into World Liberty's coin, offering a new quasi-legal way for foreigners to support Trump, bypassing campaign donation laws. >Trump’s inner circle — including scandal-prone crypto players like Justin Sun and Binance’s Changpeng Zhao — also personally benefited and/or sought political favors like **pardons**. >World Liberty is now a **$1+ billion enterprise**, deeply blending Trump's presidency, family business, foreign money, and crypto hype. >Ethical concerns are **ignored or minimized** by Trump allies, while critics warn that the line between U.S. government policy and Trump's private gain has collapsed.
USD1 (the WLFI stablecoin) minted like $600m in BSC just now, something must be up
Noooo not my WLFI it was going to make me rich!
tldr; World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto firm linked to Donald Trump's family, has faced challenges with its investments. Despite raising $550 million through token sales and holding a diverse crypto portfolio, WLFI has seen significant losses, including a $4.28 million average portfolio decline. Concerns have arisen over potential conflicts of interest, as Trump’s position could influence crypto markets. Regulatory scrutiny and allegations of market manipulation have added to the controversy surrounding WLFI's operations and its USD1 stablecoin project. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

It will explode 10x once WLFI by Trump makes its moves. I can't believe how people are missing this opportunity. The guy who causes trillions and trillions of profits and losses with a tweer, is going to shill ethereum soon (it is not because he is a nice guy, but because he is ego centric and selfish and can't resist making billions on his project)
> The market is treating ETH very unfairly. It's really a beautiful coin. > They say it's the best coin ever. Not Sound Money like Bitcoin but Ultra-Sound. Amazing really. > You know Bitcoin has the Halving. ETH has the Triple Halving. Imagine that, it has to be 3 times as good right? > And that Vitalik guy. Genius. I couldn't do $TRUMP coin and WLFI without him.
Also big part of Trumps WLFI portfolio😂
Okay so WLFI isn’t even tradable yet but they’ve still raised over half a bil?? That's kinda nuts.
Yeah and with them joining governance too, I wouldn’t be surprised if WLFI starts pivoting toward some more institutional-friendly stuff. Especially with that new NYC office.
Honestly I think having DWF Labs on board might be what helps USD1 gain actual traction. These guys already provide liquidity to like 60 exchanges. Feels like they’re setting WLFI up to actually compete in the stablecoin game.
Kinda wild how much WLFI has raised already… $600M in under a year? That’s some serious firepower.
Probably an opportune moment to sell WLFI if you have any.
tldr; DWF Labs has invested $25 million in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project backed by Donald Trump and his sons. The investment includes purchasing WLFI tokens and providing liquidity for its stablecoin, USD1. WLFI aims to promote DeFi and US dollar-pegged stablecoins, having raised over $600 million since its launch in 2024. DWF Labs is expanding into the US with a New York office to strengthen institutional partnerships and engage with regulators. The collaboration reflects growing interest in mainstream crypto adoption. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Just funny the crypto geniuses at WLFI (Baron) bought virtually everything at the top
tldr; World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump family-backed crypto project, purchased 4.89 million SEI tokens worth $775,000, adding to its diversified portfolio of altcoins and major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether. Despite spending $346.8 million on 11 tokens, WLFI's portfolio is down $145.8 million overall. Eric Trump previously promoted Ether, which has since dropped in value. WLFI's stablecoin USD1 has drawn criticism from lawmakers, who speculate it could be used to replace the US dollar, raising concerns about its implications for stablecoin legislation. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
tldr; ETH has dropped nearly 50% since Eric Trump’s February tweet promoting the cryptocurrency, where he called it a great time to buy. Trump-linked crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) denies selling off its ETH holdings despite reports from Arkham analytics suggesting a wallet linked to WLFI sold 5,471 ETH worth $8 million. WLFI claims it has not sold any positions, though its ETH investments reportedly face $125 million in unrealized losses. ETH’s value has fallen from $2,877 to $1,557 since the tweet. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
Insider trading yet he doesn’t let his son Eric in on it, didn’t WLFI dump a bunch of ETH at like $1450? lol He won’t be held accountable just like any other politician, but a seasoned trader would have known to halfway expect this manipulation. Fundamentals of markets especially U.S. markets still F’d though but markets can stay irrational longer than we can remain solvent
WLFI is not Trump family personal wallet. Its a Defi venture, They have their own finances and treasury. ETH was sold, not WLFI. Trump hold WLFI, which arent even tradeable. If Trump sold ETH profits from $TRUMP that's his money.
Sadly what we know as altcoin season won't repeat itself because not all altcoins will pump, but only a few. The bias already started with Trump favouring American made crypto and sequel to that WLFI has been dcaing into Sei, ETH, Move and BTC, thereby further narrowing the choices In summary, there will be altcoin, it will be limited to most of the coins in the portfolio of World Liberty Finance, and a few others
You know nothing, Blackrock is buying Ondo heavily even WLFI is
This couldn't really be further from the truth, it's just not reflected in asset price \- The US is introducing stablecoin legislation and every tom, dick and harry has announced they will be issuing their own stablecoin (from WLFI and Custodia Bank to Bank of America) \- Mastercard and Visa have announced they are entering the game and will be building blockchain payment rails \- Larry Fink (CEO of BlackRock, the worlds largest asset manager) has stated that every asset in the world will be tokenised and has already started with his BUIDL fund \- The likes of Deutsche Bank and Sony, soon to be every other corporate, have launched L2's \- Staking ETF's soon to be approved, inviting institutional flows and giving them access to yield The one thing these all have in common? Ethereum
As other said it wants to be SWIFT but it will likely fail. Such protocol requires more than tech and money. First it will have to compete with SWIFT, a much bigger boy. Then it will have to convince sovereign countries and banks (many still crypto adverse and all risk adverse) to trust and redesign their banking system. Besides XRP is not decentralised- global south countries have already built their own swifts, after the damage the Biden administation did when it used SWIFT as a political and sanctions tool. Even if Trump supports it, he is really aggressive with tariffs and not making a lot of friends woeldwide. And the Venmo you are talking about is being built as we speak. Its WLFI and should roll out in coming months. USD1 stablecoin is going to be part of it.
WLFI is building the solution. USD1 stable coin, backed by USD and treasury bonds. They are also building a very accessible Defi app for the common users
Chainlink could be the data feed for the WLFI stablecoin which might be the reason why they bought so much. After all link is connected to SWIFT. and aave will be the required swap engine. If thes pull this off I'm rich. Chainlink is the safest investment in crypto after BTC IMHO.
tldr; Democratic senators, including Elizabeth Warren, have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest surrounding the USD1 stablecoin launched by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a company with major stakes held by President Trump’s family. They warn of risks to the financial system and question regulatory oversight, especially given Trump’s 2024 executive order increasing White House influence over financial regulators. Congress is considering the GENIUS Act to establish stricter stablecoin regulations under the OCC and Federal Reserve. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump family crypto project, plans to launch a stablecoin called USD1, raising concerns over conflicts of interest and potential market manipulation. USD1 will be backed by U.S. treasuries and cash equivalents, but critics worry about its implications for regulatory integrity, foreign influence, and violations of the U.S. Constitution's emoluments clause. Observers, including legal experts and policymakers, have called for investigations into the project's potential risks to market stability and governance. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

That's a significant loss. Do you think this will impact the broader crypto market or just WLFI?
tldr; Donald Trump’s crypto investment firm, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has incurred significant losses, with its Ethereum holdings alone down $88 million. WLFI had purchased 67,880 ETH at an average price of $3,240 per token, but with Ethereum now around $2,000, the holdings are worth $132 million. The firm’s total portfolio has shrunk from $336 million to $226 million, reflecting a $110 million loss. Despite this, WLFI continues to invest in cryptocurrencies and has partnered with blockchain project Sui to explore new opportunities. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

WLFI has potential for a quick money grab if it becomes tradable. Like the Trump meme, get in quick when this sub is skeptical but don't get too greedy and get out when it's all over the mainstream news. Easy 2-3x.
WLFI has sold all there coins....wonder what happens now?
Which institutions are buying ETH en masse? That is simply not true. Outside of WLFI, which buys ETH from their token sale, I don't know any institution that is buying ETH. Please enlighten me.
It's money from the investors who bought WLFI token for ETH or USDC on their website
I have the same suspicion... Eth wrapped stocks... ONDO is also ERC20.(WLFI)... supposed to be starting their own L1 .. SEI is WLFI and is supposedly like fast ETH.. parallel masterbation or something like that... other v2 Eth technology.. blah blah blah blah... Something big happening with ETH... Figures.. the shittiest , slowest, most expensive pile of rancid catshit coin to get the most smart contracts and institution investment.. "bruh ... My matrix is broken can I swap out multiverses?"
mETH Heads got scammed by the RWA Meme after getting scammed with the Triple Halving, Supply Crunch, Ultra-Sound Monies Memes. RWA...Fudamentals!!!

Since it's Sunday and everything moving slowly, I will shill SUI a bit. I am an average Joe, not a tech head or crypto guru. I am impressed by SUI for its easy to use, easy to stake and provides multiple earning options in its ecosystem such as lending pools, liquidity pools, DEEP book, casino (not a big fan). The biggest advantage is fast transaction and low fee. Coming from ADA maxi, seeing transaction to be completed in a few secs amaze me. SUI quickly climbed to the top of largest marketcap coins even though it is only around for 2 years since 2023. And recently, SUI announced to collab with WLFI and rumored to be included in US crypto reserve. To be summarized, SUI is young, fast, cheap and has vast growth potential. Check it out to see if you fancy it.
When Trump was the announced, keynote speaker, at the annual US Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, I had a bad feeling it was just another “grift”, or worse, con. Prior to the conference, along with his sons, Trump created “World Liberty Financial”, touting to be the replacement of “big banks”, naming his 18 y/o son, “DeFi Visionary”. Then a separate llc., CIC Digital was created, along with some obscure entities. “WLFI” was the coin people could purchase, who believed in World Liberty Financial. Anyone who watched his “presentation”, knew that Trump did not know a thing about Bitcoin, let alone, crypto/blockchain technology. But what a perfect venue for the free advertisement that Trump’s campaign was accepting crypto. Fast forward to the night prior to the inauguration, Trump launched the “$TRUMP” coin via “CIC Digital”(trump owned), and unlike reputable coin launches that have “lock-up” periods for insiders, Trump & other insiders who had an 80% stake, could start selling the instant it hit exchanges. And boy, did they sell. Blockchain data estimates that Trump & Company profited over 65 $Million in the first hour of trading plus between $85-$100Million in trading fees, with the first 24 hours. The Trump coin will eventually lose 99% of its value as does anyone really think that Trump will do anything to protect those who were sucked in? I wont bother with the $Melania coin, but spend a few more minutes on “World Liberty Financial”. Don Jr., & Eric post the various positions they have added to their holdings and in a BIG FU to regulators & authorities, Trump posts “In our US Strategic Crypto Reserve, we will be holding $XRP, $ADA & $SOL”. A minute later, OOPS!, “We also will be holding $BTC & $ ETH, as we love them both”. The fact that the crypto industry was the largest campaign contributor is no surprise as now the SEC suit against Coinbase was dropped, what a surprise given that Coinbase listed the Trump coin on day one. Many thought that a vote for Trump was a vote for crypto, but as it now appears, the vote was for all the pump & dump scams, lawlessness within the exchanges and everything lawmakers wanted to protect the public from. I have a serious stake in BTC & believe in its future as well as blockchain technology, but the last person I would trust, with the amount of leverage & power he has, is DJT. He cuts off military funding to Ukraine as well as intelligence sharing, one day, than the next day he hosts the Crypto Summit. Those in attendance were able to flash a screenshot of their $Trump purchases, and as he did with Coinbase, you get a free pass to rip off the very people who elected you. Trump Foundation, Trump University, Trump Casinos, Trump Org., all have one thing in common, they were either shut down for Fraud, or found guilty of said Fraud, with massive civil penalties, or as happened 6 other times, filed for bankruptcy, & in so doing, shafting employees & contractors out of tens of millions of dollars.
The partnership between SUI and WLFI looks solid. Looks like they're building a strategic reserve for Web3 projects. If they bring in Aptos or Movement next, this could be a big trend, especially with the Move blockchain
Got the information from the official X acc of WLFI so i guess should be verified if they don’t change their decision
lmao @ all the sui idiots creaming at the WLFI partnership, they paid 10m$ for it. do not buy this corporate VC shit. its literally facebook coin & they are conning you, ive been here since 2015, im selling this year and never looking back.
WLFI accumulated ETH about 33% higher than the current price. Eric trump is still waiting on his thank you. Dont trust these grifters and copy their trades. You are the product.
Look like sui bought their way into the WLFI partnership, well colour me surprised.
I don't think Trump would want to miss the opportunity to make money from the ecosystem. The eth ecosystem is too big to ignore and WLFI bought $9 million worth of ETH yesterday. And the list isn't finished updating yet.
Its getting an orange pump. Remember how WLFI was accumulating ETH and how crypto bros were meant to thank Eric Trump for buying ETH at $2800? So are they meant to thank him again for buying SUI at $3?
tldr; World Liberty Financial (WLFI), backed by Donald Trump, has expanded its cryptocurrency portfolio with a $21.5 million investment in Ethereum (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and Movement (MOVE). This brings WLFI's total crypto investments to $336 million across nine assets. The move comes ahead of the White House Crypto Summit, which may influence U.S. crypto regulations. Despite an unrealized loss of $88 million, WLFI remains bullish on crypto, continuing to buy during market dips, signaling confidence in the sector's long-term potential. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
It likely is. After steadily DCAing small amounts, WLFI suddenly bought $10M in ETH and $10M in WBTC.
I’ve been tracking the WLFI entity for a while. I see they’ve been DCAing into ETH for over a month, multiple times a day. Unless it’s the same ETH they moved to Coinbase Prime on 3/2/2025, still not sure if they sold or held onto it. If anyone has more info, let us know.
Ya, the “crypto president” just killed any hope for serious adoption of Polkadot, Algorand or any other 3rd tier blockchain. All serious institutional adoption will concentrate on the top tier projects. If you were paying attention, you would have seen this already happening. BlackRock, Visa, etc. and even Trump himself (via WLFI) announced they are building on Ethereum.
Which chain is WLFI on? And bought 0.5B of?
> There’s no way that WLFI has been buying this much ETH, just for it not to get included in the reserve. watch the reserve not actually happen
Bitcoin and ETH were left out of the announcement for a reason. There’s no way that WLFI has been buying this much ETH, just for it not to get included in the reserve. Unless WLFI is some kind of hedge
Ok, but is there a way to see what's he holding? Like we can see what WLFI are etc.
> 10 20 50k dollars investing in this coin Some projects are buying the coin in hope of WLFI buying their coin. There are too many useless crypto devs in this space who don't how to build products. Now many of them are trying to hitch on Trump's hype to get some attention for their token. If WLFI buys their coin, then coin gets added onto WLFI portfolio as some sort of "advertising" of being "Trump aligned". Again, useless crypto devs doing useless crypto dev things - no real surprises here.
there was another huge WLFI buy today.....only 200M coins left. Will Trump team pump ETH after they get it all sold?
Prediction - Another Trump project will be released soon. $WLFI which will cause ETH, LINK, and other ETH DeFi related projects to pump. How long will it last? I have no idea but I'm taking profits
NGL, at each ETH price level above $3K, you get reminded of unsavory characters. 1) WLFI started twapping from 3.1K to 3.2 K. So, if you buy ETH above 3.2K, you open yourself up as exit liquidity for that orange man's family. 2) Justin Sun, the most likely crypto's CCP affiliate, started twapping ETH around 3K. So, if you buy ETH above 3K, you open yourself up as exit liquidity for the CCP industry plant. 3) Richard Heart started swapping around $4K. So, if you buy ETH above $4K, you open yourself up as exit liquidity for one of the biggest scammers in this space.
I'm still optimistic that we'll have a bull run which is why I'm holding. Just looking at today we had the FTX repayment of $1b which should put some liquidity back into the market and the Texas state senate announcing a strategic bitcoin reserve. Every day you see Investment companies like Blackrock, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, WLFI all loading up on crypto. We have a pro crypto president. Still seeing strong narratives among all the major altcoins. That's why even though there is alot of FUD in the market right now I still have high expectations for crypto to perform well, if not soon then later this year. Just my two cents on why I don't think it's over
some big buys happening on WLFI...300 million bought in past few hours. my conspiracy hat was thinking the ETH price would be suppressed until Trump got all his 25B coins sold....could be happening sooner than expected.
They dumped about 20k+ ETH into WLFI
WLFI is going to be the reserve, watch.
WLFI moved their ETH to Coinbase. Maybe getting ready to off load.
Between Blackrock and WLFI, they’ve purchased over $400M worth of ETH in the last 2 weeks.
1. That was bought with money made from the WLFI token sale. They never actually transferred their own money in. 2. There is no way I think one can see whether they sold. They only said "we are not selling", while saying that it's a good time to buy BTC and ETH. At the same time, both coins went down. I would be surprised if they actually still have them and they haven't transferred 400+ mln to their bank accounts in dollars.
The losses on the $Trump bet were very real for hundreds of thousands of investors, including some who are vocal supporters of Mr. Trump. In the days before Mr. Trump was sworn in, Shawn M. Whitson, 40, of Walnut Cove, N.C., owner of a small computer repair business, had celebrated Mr. Trump’s return to the White House. “Today, we take our country back!” Mr. Whitson wrote, with a photo of Mr. Trump, on Inauguration Day. He also expressed hope that $Trump would rise in price. But by the end of January, Mr. Whitson was fed up. “Done with this $Trump crap,” he wrote in a social media posting. Mr. Whitson, reached by The Times on Friday expressed disappointment. “That coin is a joke.” Over the past six months, President Trump and his sons have made a series of aggressive forays into the crypto industry. As Mr. Trump promoted crypto on the campaign trail, he also helped start a company called World Liberty Financial, which offered a digital currency called $WLFI to certain wealthy investors with experience in financial markets. Last week, Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Mr. Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, announced that it was moving into the financial services industry by creating a brand known as TruthFi that will offer investment products tied to Bitcoin. Trump Media’s chief executive, Devin Nunes, called the offerings “a competitive alternative to the woke funds and debanking problems that you find throughout the market.” But the debut of the $Trump memecoin was the first time the Trump family had marketed a new crypto token directly to ordinary investors. At the request of The Times, crypto experts reconstructed some of the early trades made by buyers of Mr. Trump’s token, examining their profit taking and how, once the initial buyers started to dump their holdings, the price of $Trump then crashed, hurting other investors. The analysis of crypto transaction records was executed by the forensic firms Nansen and Chainalysis as well as by Molly White, an independent crypto researcher who is often critical of the industry. The data was then reviewed by The Times. This pattern of big, fast buyers entering and then selling out of their memecoin holdings is part of the reason that state regulators in New York recently warned consumers about these offerings, saying that “creators or their associates artificially inflate the price of the coins and then sell their own coins rapidly at an inflated price, reaping substantial profits while causing the price to crash.” New York regulators called these maneuvers “pump-and-dump schemes” and said they can leave buyers who come in late with big losses. No evidence has emerged that Mr. Trump or his associates artificially inflated the coin’s price or engaged in insider trading. Asked about the early $Trump trades and profit taking, the president’s middle son, Eric Trump, declined to comment. The Starting Gun In the crypto world, every transaction is recorded on a publicly viewable ledger known as a blockchain. Typically, the names of the people making trades remain hidden, with each account identified only by a long chain of letters and numbers. The blockchain allows crypto analysts to go back and look at new offerings and decipher what each wallet did — when it first invested, when it transferred any tokens or sold them off, and what the ultimate profit and loss turned out to be for every play. This analysis can also point to anomalies in trades that raise questions. For example, blockchain records show that the $Trump token was “minted” at 9:01 a.m. Eastern time on Jan. 17, creating a so-called contract address. It was not announced by Mr. Trump for another 12 hours.
Which one is the real WLFI
Do not buy WLFI.. it is non transferable you will never be able to sell it It most likely only exists for Trumps team to receive bribes without too much scrutiny
Can't stand having to get in this message play someone's game, but also can't afford to miss out. Would holding ETH be good enough not not have to buy into WLFI?
Mark my words, WLFI will be the strategic crypto reserve.
Reminder: - The Trumps have not put any of their money in crypto. They are collecting money including ETH, USDT, USDC, etc by selling WLFI tokens and also memecoins - Donald Trump has bankrupted 6 casinos and now has made Ethereum his casino - $WLFI is run Chase Herro Zachary Folkman who previously ranDough Finance a fork of AAVE that was hacked for $1.8M in July 2024 and went bankrupt. - Justin Sun is the biggest investor of WLFI. He's purchased $75 Million of $WLFI. - $WLFI is Non-Transferable. All $WLFI will be non-transferable and locked indefinitely in a wallet or smart contract. You should think of your purchase of Tokens like other non-refundable purchases of goods and services and accept the risk that once you’ve paid the purchase price, your interest in the Token may decline and you have no expectation of resale of the Token. - $WLFI gives you no governance rights. The $WLFI Token and WLF Governance Platform are distinct from WLF Protocol. The Token does not provide any economic or other rights with respect to the WLF Protocol or otherwise. As a result, you will not have any rights to any fees generated by the WLF Protocol or earned by the Company. You should not purchase the Tokens with an expectation of Tokens increasing (or not decreasing) in value as a result of any future functionality or the success or failure of the WLF Protocol
They didn't buy it though. It was from their WLFI token sale. They never put a dime into it, so basically everything is profit. And 400M+ is a lot of profit for something they held for a couple of weeks.
Blackrock's ETF also had big inflows on the day of the dip --- is that what you were referring to? Is there anywhere we can find out who the buyers are? (Or what companies are you talking about?) I assume you're not talking about WLFI.
WLFI, Trump's DeFi project, owns oodles of it. My guess is they'll launch on Ethereum in the near future, probably on one of the big L2s.
I don’t want to scare you. But WLFI and Blackrock can make just as much money if Eth tanks. regardless of eths price action, They’re set to make money no matter how Eth performs.
Why would you trust me. I’m not giving advice. If you think Trump, Blackrock, WLFI are for the people. You do you.
You can say the same thing about bull posting. That’s the wild part my dude. Everyone is pumping and promoting eth. President of the US, Blackrock, WLFI But here we are, down 30% from December. Like, what other catalyst is there to ignite an eth bull run.
lol yup. Trump, black rock, WLFI. None of these got eth to move. It ain’t happening
tldr; World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto venture linked to the Trump family, transferred over $307 million in digital assets to Coinbase Prime. The assets include 73,783 ETH worth $212 million and 553 WBTC valued at $52.7 million, among others. Such large transfers to centralized exchanges often suggest a potential sale, which can cause market volatility. Despite the transfer, WLFI retains $96.62 million in digital assets. The company clarified that the transfers were for routine treasury management, not asset liquidation. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

It's because WLFI will run on top of Ethereum
it's because the scammy WLFI token is ETH Based. This is token that "cannot be traded or sold and does not give you representation or voting privileges within the company." Ppl bought because they thought they could vote to be able to sell it but surprise surprise they cant.
I wouldn't go that far, despite Sacks and trump's coin being based off solana. WLFI has major holdings in WBTC, which is ofc eth based and is ETH based. There is some insider trading shit going on with these people. Honestly though solana is a superior crypto. transaction speed is way faster, fees are lower.
Can’t wait to see the markets reaction when he drops his next token, World Liberty Financial ($WLFI). Nearly 25b tokens have sold to accredited investors at $.05! I wouldn’t be surprised if it launches with his new sovereign wealth fund.
It's because WLFI just brought 86,000 ETH earlier today. Now it's allowed to go back up.
There is no chance this will have anything to do with WLFI... Right?
The Trump family’s WLFI bought ETH at $3100 on Friday. I guess Donald didn’t even bother to tell Eric about the weekend trade war.
