World Liberty Financial (WLFI), crypto investment platform backed by the Trump family, made headlines with its huge recent acquisition of Ethereum (ETH).
The firm purchased 3,473 ETH tokens for $13 million in USDC stablecoin, according to on-chain data from Lookonchain.
It was purchased for $3,743 per ETH, reflecting continued faith in Ethereum’s bullish path.
The latest acquisition brings WLFI’s Ethereum position to an astonishing 73,616 ETH, worth a combined $275 million, making them among the largest institutional holders of Ethereum in the crypto market today.
WLFI’s Strategic Accumulation Yields Strong Unrealized Gains
The purchase is part of a broader strategy by World Liberty Financial to accumulate ETH holdings during periods of bull market gradually.
WLFI has been gradually accumulating its stake in Ethereum after purchasing 3,007 ETH for $10 million last week at an average price of $3,325, as well as a prior purchase in May when it purchased 1,587 ETH for $3.5 million.
Their total entry price on all purchases is $3,272, resulting in over $33 million in unrealized profit as ETH continues to rally.
These timely purchases demonstrate the company’s strategic approach, acting quickly to capitalize on price momentum while establishing its long-term presence in Ethereum’s ecosystem.
