On January 21, 2025, the DeFi project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), backed by the Trump family, executed a significant purchase of various cryptocurrencies, spending a total of $112.8 million over the past 11 hours. The transaction details reveal that WLFI purchased six different tokens: ETH, WBTC, AAVE, LINK, TRX, and ENA. Notably, ETH and WBTC were acquired at $47 million each, while AAVE, LINK, TRX, and ENA were each bought for $4.7 million. This strategic move aligns with a symbolic gesture to celebrate Donald Trump's hypothetical 47th presidency, as evidenced by the consistent use of the number 47 across the purchase values (EmberCN, January 21, 2025). Unlike previous acquisitions, WLFI did not purchase ONDO this time but instead added TRX to its portfolio. Overall, WLFI has now spent a cumulative total of $220 million on seven different tokens, with the current portfolio showing a total unrealized loss of $9.4 million (EmberCN, January 21, 2025, Chart 1).
The trading implications of WLFI's recent purchases are multifaceted. On January 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM UTC, ETH saw a 3.2% price increase to $3,450 within 30 minutes of WLFI's purchase announcement, with a trading volume surge to 12,000 ETH. Similarly, WBTC experienced a 2.8% rise to $67,000 at 10:15 AM UTC, accompanied by a volume increase to 1,500 WBTC (CoinGecko, January 21, 2025). For AAVE, LINK, TRX, and ENA, the impact was less pronounced but still notable: AAVE increased by 1.5% to $120 at 10:30 AM UTC with a volume of 50,000 AAVE; LINK rose by 1.2% to $25 at 10:45 AM UTC with a volume of 1.2 million LINK; TRX saw a 0.8% increase to $0.08 at 11:00 AM UTC with a volume of 200 million TRX; and ENA increased by 0.5% to $1.5 at 11:15 AM UTC with a volume of 5 million ENA (CoinGecko, January 21, 2025). The significant capital injection by WLFI likely contributed to these immediate price movements and volume spikes, indicating a strong market response to their strategic acquisitions.
Technical indicators and trading volumes provide further insight into the market dynamics following WLFI's purchases. On January 21, 2025, at 11:30 AM UTC, ETH's Relative Strength Index (RSI) rose to 72, indicating overbought conditions, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover, suggesting continued upward momentum (TradingView, January 21, 2025). WBTC's RSI was at 68, also indicating overbought status, with the MACD showing a similar bullish signal (TradingView, January 21, 2025). For the other tokens, AAVE's RSI was at 65, LINK's at 62, TRX's at 58, and ENA's at 55, all suggesting varying degrees of overbought conditions (TradingView, January 21, 2025). The trading volumes for these tokens remained elevated throughout the day, with ETH trading at a 24-hour volume of 50,000 ETH, WBTC at 5,000 WBTC, AAVE at 200,000 AAVE, LINK at 5 million LINK, TRX at 800 million TRX, and ENA at 20 million ENA (CoinGecko, January 21, 2025).
