6-3-2025 – World Liberty Financial—the decentralised finance initiative linked to President Donald Trump and his family—has substantially expanded its cryptocurrency portfolio, according to blockchain analytics.
On-chain intelligence revealed Thursday that the Trump-associated venture made a remarkable $25 million investment across multiple digital assets. Blockchain analytics firm Nansen highlighted on social media platform X that “Trump’s project World Liberty Financial made a $25 million crypto play,” distributing funds across ethereum, Wrapped Bitcoin, and MOVE tokens.
The timing of this substantial acquisition has raised eyebrows in financial circles, occurring mere hours before President Trump’s scheduled discussions with prominent cryptocurrency innovators. Arkham Intelligence data confirms a dramatic surge in World Liberty Financial’s ethereum holdings, which have more than tripled from approximately 2,200 to over 7,000 ethereum tokens since Monday.
Friday’s White House Crypto Summit looms as a watershed moment for the digital asset industry, with market observers keenly awaiting potential announcements regarding regulatory frameworks and the mooted U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve. Bitcoin responded optimistically, briefly touching $92,700 before settling around $91,380 during European trading hours amidst profit-taking activities.
The cryptocurrency market displayed mixed reactions in anticipation of the summit. Dogecoin emerged as the standout performer amongst major cryptocurrencies, posting a 4% gain over 24 hours. Meanwhile, Solana and ethereum registered increases of approximately 3.8% and 2.3% respectively, whilst Cardano remained static.
Market sentiment had previously fluctuated following President Trump’s weekend announcement regarding a potential strategic crypto reserve possibly including XRP, ADA and ethereum. However, enthusiasm waned as the week progressed, particularly after the implementation of new American tariffs triggered broader market retracement on Tuesday.
QCP Capital analysts characterised Friday’s gathering as “a historic milestone—the first-ever White House Crypto Summit,” whilst cautioning that “without any concrete executive orders, funding commitments, or congressional backing in place, the market remains in wait-and-see mode.” They further described the summit as an asymmetric event carrying significant implications, questioning whether it might catalyse a price surge or expose vulnerabilities leading to deeper market corrections.
