World Liberty Financial (WLF) has undoubtedly created a lot of waves in the cryptocurrency market. The platform bought $48 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) in a single day of buying that spanned eight hours on Sunday. The spree went on through the afternoon and well into the evening time. According to Arkham Intelligence, WLF bought 14,403 ETH at an average cost of roughly $3,300 per ETH.

This change takes the total number of Trump-tied assets in ETH to 28,612, which are worth about $109 million at today’s prices. This has raised alot of questions on the time of undertaking these transactions. This comes at the same time as the Trump family releases numerous meme coins and, therefore, ignites more debate within the crypto space.

Eric Trump kept the speculation going with a tweet that suggested there may be more to come. “Wait until you see what they do tomorrow,” he posted on X, tagging the official WLF account. The message has left many people speculating on what World Liberty Financial is going to do next in the ever changing market.

WLF’s $60M Asset Move

This comes after WLF made another $60 million asset transaction this week. The platform added that it was part of their standard “treasury management”. It pointed out that the transfers were to meet operational necessities such as charges and cash requirements. However, the large size of the move left many people wondering what the new proposed long-term strategy of WLF might be.

Others argue that World Liberty Financial is closer to a traditional investment fund than a DeFi application for this reason. Jung, a popular crypto expert, pointed out that the volume and the pace of these buys imply that a major change in the market could be around the corner. He said that WLF could be in the process of planning a large-scale platform enhancement or transformative change.

World Liberty Financial recently made a lot of noise with regards to the token sales. The company also disclosed that it had sold through 20% of its token supply. In order to meet demand, WLF token holders unlocked 5% of the token at the time. This move demonstrates the company’s belief in high demand for its assets.

Trump Family’s Crypto Expansion

The total worth of the assets that WLF owns has increased dramatically. These figures from Arkham Intelligence reveal that, in days, WLF’s asset sum has grown from $187 million to $235 million. This growth shows that WLF is becoming more powerful in the market, as well as having more financial muscle.

On the other hand, the Trump family remains very much active in the crypto space and this seems to be growing. A new meme coin linked to Melania Trump started trading on the Solana blockchain on Sunday afternoon. The development comes against the backdrop of an increasing number of crypto businesses associated with the Trump family.
