World Liberty Financial Stashes More Ethereum

The organization now holds 40,765K ETH, valued at approximately $138.5 million. Additionally, World Liberty has a significant amount of ETH stored on Coinbase, which they recently deposited.
This recent accumulation puts behind the doubts that the Donald TrumpDeFi Project was offloading its ETH. As World Liberty Financial clarified, it was just part of routine transfers to new wallets and not part of their selling.
More Ethereum Purchases Coming?
On the other hand, Eric Trump, the executive vice president of the Trump organization has hinted that there’s more to come ahead.
Wait until you see what they do tomorrow! 🚀🚀 @worldlibertyfi https://t.co/v8eRDFImHo

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) Token Sale
World Liberty Financial, has successfully completed the pre-sale of its token and is now offering more at a 230% markup due to overwhelming demand. Launched in September, the platform initially planned to sell 20% of its total 100 billion. However, the project is now offering an additional 5 billion for sale at 5 cents each. The official announcement from the project notes:
“We’ve completed our mission and sold 20% of our token supply! Due to massive demand and overwhelming interest, we’ve decided to open up an additional block of 5% of token supply”.
Tron founder Justin Sun took this opportunity with TRON DAO boosting its investment in World Liberty Financial by adding an additional $45 million. With this new injection, TRON DAO’s total investments in the DeFi venture now reach $75 million.
