World Liberty Financial, linked to Donald Trump, has intensified its Ethereum investment strategy by purchasing a substantial amount in July. The transaction was made using USDC, which facilitated the acquisition of 3,473 ETH, with an average price noted at $3,743 per token.
The firm’s Ethereum stake on Aave brings its total holdings to over 73,616 ETH, valued upwards of $275 million. The move comes as part of strategic efforts to diversify into digital assets, echoing historical corporate treasury actions with Bitcoin.
Market reactions to WLFI’s purchase have led Ethereum to surge 20% over the past week. The purchase contributes to an ongoing trend of corporate adoption, reflecting similar historical moves by companies storing Bitcoin as a corporate asset.

World Liberty Financial’s transaction aligns with the regulatory landscape post-GENIUS Act, which clarified crypto regulations in the U.S. This strategic push into digital assets may result in increased interest in similar corporate moves. The broader digital economy stands to see more capital influx, enhancing Ethereum’s reputation and stability as an institutional-grade asset.
Analysts suggest potential growth in institutional adoption, with historical precedents indicating boosted legitimacy and potential positive trends for assets involved.
