According to crypto sources, World Liberty Financial (WLF), the DeFi company affiliated with the Trump family,  shook the crypto market with its purchase of $48 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) over an 8-hour period on Sunday. They reportedly bought 14,403 ETH at an average price of $3,300. Now, WLF holds 28,612 ETH, which, according to Arkham Intelligence, is around $109 million.

This is amidst a broader crypto mania that erupted over the weekend when the Trump family got involved in a bunch of meme coin launches. “Wait until you see what they do tomorrow,” Eric Trump posted on X, formerly Twitter, hinting at what’s coming from the Trump-affiliated venture.

WLF Ethereum buy-up lines up with all the meme coin action happening, particularly on the Solana blockchain. Analysts think these purchases is because WLF is preparing for a potential market move.

WLF’s buy-in of Ethereum isn’t a one-off. They clarified their financial activity last week, which was a $60 million transfer as a regular “treasury management” for operational expenses and liquidity. This latest buying spree has surprised many.

“The size and timing of these buys suggests a big market move or platform upgrade,” said Min Jung, analyst at Presto Research.

WLF is moving towards an operational model more like a fund than a DEX or protocol. WLF also diversified its asset holdings into other assets besides Ethereum, including stablecoins like USDC and USDT. According to Arkham Intelligence, in a few days, WLF’s total asset portfolio grew by $187 million to $235 million. That is a lot of activity.

Trump Family Crypto Influence: Melania Memecoin

The Trump family influence is really showing up in crypto. Just hours before WLF’s Ethereum buys, a Solana-based meme coin tied to Melania Trump was launched. Donald Trump Jr. even posted on X, formerly Twitter, about his family’s crypto achievements and tagged WLF and the ticker for Donald Trump Sr’s meme coin.

This follows the family’s broader foray into crypto, which was a big deal. The Trump tokens and WLF supporting them are moves that show they are using the Trump brand in crypto.

Market Implications of These Moves

Analysts think WLF’s Ethereum buys are a sign of a bullish crypto market, especially for Ethereum, as they are buying ETH when prices are going up.

However, some analysts have questioned the sell-side liquidity. Theoretically, deposits from whales have been a precursor to more wild markets in the past – the $48m of ETH bought by WLF being no exception – when they happen during speculation, like the Trump family’s meme coin launches.

“These are bullish signs but traders should be cautious,” Jung said. “WLF’s activities can create short term price pressure on the coin if people start to take profit.”

Ethereum has been moving in the market, with the price up to $3,380, 4.6% in the last 24 hours. Trading volume was $26.2b during the period, signaling retail and institutional investors’ interest.

Ethereum’s price is supported by several factors: deflationary tokenomics from EIP-1559 and growing ETH staking adoption. Also, Bitcoin above $95,000 has given the whole market a bullish sentiment.

However, WLF’s recent buys have added a layer of complexity. The timing of the buys may be for the platform to prepare for big price movements or operations upgrades.

Conclusion

WLF has set up the platform for a great position in the crypto market. The platform now holds over $109m of Ethereum, and its total portfolio is close to $235m as it seems to be getting ready for a big phase.

Eric Trump posted a very vague X post that seems to be hinting at multiple announcements coming, possibly new partners or products. Using the family name and WLF’s aggressive buying of assets suggests this could be a strategic play on the trend.

This has big implications for Ethereum since WLF’s activity may mean fresh interest in ETH as a store of value and one of the main assets in DeFi. On the other hand, this potential sell-side liquidity should make investors keep an eye on the market.
