Trump’s ETH Venture: A Tale of Losses and Irony πŸ˜‚

Essential Musings:

  • A wallet, seemingly inseparable from World Liberty Financial, relinquished a tidy sum of $8 million in ether, a gesture following an accumulation of losses to the tune of $125 million. Quite the financial escapade! 🎒
  • Despite this, the main coffers of WLFI still cradle a respectable $98 million in digital treasures, with $11 million in ether gently sleeping amidst them. A nest egg, indeed. πŸ₯šπŸ’°
  • This dramatic sale arrives a mere two months after Eric Trump, with a touch of irony, declared it a splendid moment to acquire ETH. Timing, as they say, is everything… or is it? β°πŸ˜…

World Liberty Financial, the DeFi darling linked to the illustrious Trump family, has embarked on a journey of selling its ether (ETH) at the modest price of $1,465 per unit. This, despite having acquired said asset at a princely $3,259 earlier in the year. A tale as old as time: buy high, sell low. πŸ˜‚

Data unearthed by the sleuths at Arkham indicates that a wallet closely intertwined with World Liberty Financial parted ways with5,471 ETH, pocketing roughly $8 million. This comes after they managed to amass a $125 million loss. One might say they’ve mastered the art of financial gymnastics. πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ

Adding to the irony, Eric Trump, the scion of the Trump dynasty, had sung the praises of ETH just two months prior, when it was perched at $2,880. Timing, it appears, is not the family forte. 🎢

Despite this, the World Liberty Financial treasury still boasts a hefty $98 million in crypto, with $11.7 million of it gleaming in ether. A silver lining, perhaps, or merely the calm before another storm? πŸŒͺ️

Meanwhile, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to herald the moment as “great” for acquisitions, as global markets recoiled at the specter of a trade war. Since his ascension on Jan.20, the Nasdaq has seen a20% tumble, the S&P500 a17% dip, and bitcoin (BTC) a24% retreat.

Not to be outdone, the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins have staged a dramatic fall from grace, shedding83% and95% respectively since his inauguration. A fitting tribute to the volatility of both politics and crypto. 🎒

World Liberty Financial, in the grand tradition of entities caught in the midst of controversy, has yet to offer a comment on these developments. Silence, as they say, speaks volumes. 🀐
