Liberty

<p>The World Liberty Financial project by Trump started like a rocket on the launch pad: a lot of noise, but little elevation. Its hesitant beginnings forced its promoters to try everything to reverse the trend. But could the recent ETH transactions detected on on-chain radars finally mark a decisive turning point? Analysis of the strategic movements aimed at repositioning this project in a thriving crypto market.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/donald-trump-launches-his-crypto-platform-world-liberty-financial-on-september-16/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">World Liberty Financial</a> (WLFI), backed by Donald Trump and launched by his son Eric last August, aimed for <strong>an ambitious funding of 300 million dollars</strong>. However, the current results are far from the target: <strong>only 55 million dollars have been raised</strong> so far.</p>

<p>The project accepts ETH, USDC, and USDT for its WLFI tokens, but the sale remains limited to accredited investors.</p>
<p>However, recent transactions show <strong>an offensive strategy</strong>. Last Wednesday, WLFI swapped stablecoins for <strong>1,285 ETH on CoW Swap</strong>, a decentralized crypto exchange. This wallet, which already accumulates 73 million dollars in digital assets, notably contains:</p>
<ul>
 <li>50 million dollars of ETH;</li>
 <li>10 million in wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC);</li>
 <li>8 million USDC;</li>
 <li>3 million USDT.</li>
</ul>

<p>According to <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/330469/trump-backed-world-liberty-financial-is-swapping-stablecoins-for-eth-onchain-data-shows?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Eric Conner</a>, an Ethereum investor, “<em>the stablecoins collected are immediately converted into ETH, a sign that the team believes more in this altcoin than in the dollar.</em>”</p>
<p>A statement that sheds light on the project’s strategy: solidifying its reserves with a long-term perspective and strengthening its foothold in the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/ethereum-quest-ce-que-cest-et-comment-cela-fonctionne/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> ecosystem.</p>
<h3 id="h-ethereum-the-cornerstone-of-the-wlfi-strategy">Ethereum, the cornerstone of the WLFI strategy</h3>
<p>The central role of ETH in the treasury of World Liberty Financial is no coincidence. In recent weeks, the project has multiplied <strong>the</strong> <strong>acquisitions of this altcoin</strong>: 2,000 ETH nine days ago, nearly 3,000 ETH twelve days earlier. This buying frenzy could indicate a strong conviction towards <strong>Ethereum</strong>, often seen as a <strong>store of value</strong> in the crypto market.</p>

<p>Beyond its financial ambitions, WLFI seems to want to fit into a broader vision. During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to make the <strong>United States the global capital of crypto</strong>. This goal also entails diversifying its DeFi tools, such as the World Liberty lending and borrowing platform, which aims to attract institutional clients.</p>
<p>But it remains to be seen whether these moves will suffice to compensate for a lukewarm start. Experts wonder: could this accumulation of ETH signal a strategic pivot to <strong>attract new investors</strong> or does it simply reflect tactical cash management?</p>

<p>Despite a difficult start, Donald Trump, a fervent defender of the crypto sector, seems determined to accelerate. Supported by a dedicated team, including his son Eric who predicts <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/one-of-donald-trumps-sons-predicts-the-end-of-traditional-banks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the end of traditional banks</a>, he is charting his course in a constantly evolving market.</p>
