  • World Liberty Financial is accumulating altcoins
  • WLF’s latest purchase had over $20 million worth of ETH, WBTC, and MOVE
  • Crypto users speculate on the motives behind WLF’s altcoin purchases

The World Liberty Financial (WLF) DeFi project, backed by President Donald Trump, has been on an altcoin buying spree in recent months, raising questions about its motives.

In the first week of March, WLFI reportedly bought over $20 million worth of crypto assets, including $10.1 million worth of Ether (ETH), $9.9 million of Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and $1.68 million of Movement Network’s MOVE token.

Context: Even Larger Purchases

However, these recent purchases are just a small part of the DeFi project’s overall crypto holdings. The newly launched organization made even more significant purchases in the past.

According to reports, WLF spent $47 million to purchase 439 WBTC on January 20, while President Trump’s inauguration was ongoing. Before that, WLF had spent over $12 million on cryptocurrencies, including ETH, LINK, and AAVE. The project purchased several more altcoins and invested massively in the crypto market despite bearish conditions.

Speculation and the Trump Connection

Several factors, especially WLF’s link with the Trump family, have triggered crypto market speculations. Some users suspect the benefit of inside information to be a driving force behind WLF’s continued investment in the crypto market. 

They project that President Trump and his team could have plans that could trigger a bull run in the cryptocurrency market.

WLF’s Stated Purpose

It’s important to note that WLF has no affiliation with the US government. According to the project’s team, WLF is a decentralized crypto project that aims to allow crypto holders to buy, sell, and earn interest on their holdings without centralized intermediaries. Eric Trump, President Trump’s pro-crypto son, claimed that WLF would revolutionize DeFi and CeFi. The WLF ambassador described the solution as the future of finance.
