Trump-backed World Liberty Financial invested 1 million USDC in 256.75 ETH 23 hours ago at an average price of $3,895. The accumulation follows a previous purchase of 3,473 ETH on July 22, at an average price of $3,743 across several wallets. World Liberty Financial now holds 77,226 ETH ($296M) at an average price of $3,294, with an unrealized profit of approximately $41.7 million. 

Ether’s price surged 2.08% today following the initial purchase spotted by Arkham Intelligence data. The spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds recorded a net inflow of $65.14 million yesterday. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, rose by 58.64% in the past month and 4.26% in the past week. The WLFI token is expected to launch in 6-8 weeks.

Trump-supported crypto project adds 256.75 ETH

World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by Donald Trump, the U.S. President, is at the forefront of accumulating Ethereum following a surge in institutional demand for cryptocurrencies. On Tuesday, it added 256.75 ETH to its portfolio, worth 1 million USDC at an average price of $3,895. 

SoSoValue data shows that spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds recorded a $65.14 million daily net inflow on Monday, signaling positive investor sentiment toward ETH. The total cumulative net inflow is $9.40 billion, and the total traded value is $1.91 billion. ETH’s net assets stood at $21.53 billion as of 28 July. 

Meanwhile, the Trump-backed DeFi project is on the brink of unlocking its WLFI token to begin trading, officially targeting the next two months. The board voted to approve WLFI token transferability on July 9, garnering 99% support.

According to the proposal, the token would mark a big step in developing the WLF ecosystem and give broader access to community participation, access, and protocol development. WLF wrote a message on X showing approval for the WLFI token tradability with a more realistic target of 6-8 weeks for full awakening. 

Galaxy researcher Thaddeus Pinakiewicz revealed that the WLFI token has seen about $15 million in volume since its announcement. He added that WLFI would rank as the 11th cryptocurrency by market cap at the current speculative prices, just above HYPE.

World Liberty Financial raised approximately $550 million from selling roughly 25 billion tokens, a quarter of the total supply of 100 billion tokens. The governance board revealed that the remaining supply is subject to community voting to determine the unlock and release schedule. 

World Liberty Financial sits on approximately $41.7 million in unrealized gains

The latest $1 million USDC move pushes WLF’s total ETH holdings to roughly 77,226 tokens, worth around $296 million based on current prices. With an average buy-in of $3,294 per ETH, the project has an unrealized gain of approximately $41.7 million. 

Ethereum gained traction this month from investors, resulting in an all-time high for the last six months, trading between $3,700 and $3800. The push in price resulted mainly from the surge in billions of net inflows from a growing interest of institutions and increased real-world use cases built on the network.

Several institutions like BitMine and SharpLink have increased their ETH holdings, including the Ether Machine project, which announced plans to add more ETH to its holdings before the public listing. 

WLF has also expanded its portfolio of stablecoins with the launch of USD1 in March 2025. USD1 is backed entirely by U.S. Treasuries and rolled out on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. It is currently among the five largest stablecoins in circulation, with over $2.1 billion issued.
