Trump’s World Liberty Financial buys $775K in SEI in altcoin buying spree

The Trump family-backed crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has added 4.89 million SEI tokens valued at $775,000 to its portfolio, according to onchain data. Data from blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence shows the purchase was made on April 12 by one of WLFI’s trading wallets using USDC transferred from the project’s main wallet. It’s the same trading wallet previously used by WLFI to accumulate other altcoins. WLFI holds a diversified portfolio, including Bitcoin ( BTC ), Ether ( ETH ), and a larger number of altcoins, such as Tron ( TRX ), Ondo Finance ( ONDO ), Avalanche ( AVAX ) and now Sei ( SEI ). According to blockchain researcher Lookonchain, WLFI has spent a total of $346.8 million accumulating 11 different tokens, but as of April 12, it has yet to see a profit on any of them. The project’s Ethereum investments alone are currently down over $114 million. Overall, Lookonchain says WLFI’s portfolio is down $145.8 million.

At the time of writing, data from CoinGecko showed ETH’s price had fallen 55% since Eric Trump’s tweet, currently trading at $1,611, down from the Feb. 3 close of $2,879.

WLFI has made no official announcement about USD1’s logo. Observers speculate this is USD1’s new logo. Source: Binance Trump’s involvement with USD1 has attracted criticism from lawmakers on both sides of US politics. At an April 2 US House Financial Services Committee hearing on stablecoin legislation , Democratic Representative Maxine Waters suggested President Trump may be ultimately planning to use USD1 to replace the US dollar. “Trump likely wants the entire government to use stablecoins, from payments made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to Social Security payments to paying taxes. And which coin do you think Trump would replace the dollar with? His own, of course.” The committee’s Republican chair, French Hill, aired similar concerns. “If there is no effort to block the president of the United States of America from owning his stablecoin business [...] I will never be able to agree on supporting this bill, and I would ask other members not to be enablers.” Magazines: 3 reasons Ethereum could turn a corner: Kain Warwick, X Hall of Flame
