The company’s average acquisition cost for its Ethereum holdings is around $3,272, giving it an unrealized profit of more than $33 million.
Ongoing Accumulation Follows Recent ETH Market Growth
The platform’s recent Ethereum acquisition aligns with growing momentum in the broader market. Last week, the firm acquired 3,007 ETH for $10 million, while a separate purchase in May added 1,587 ETH at a cost of $3.5 million. These moves have taken place as Ethereum posted price gains of 20% over the past week and 67% over the last month.
World Liberty Financial is among a growing number of institutional players increasing their exposure to Ethereum. Other companies, including SharpLink and Bitmine, have also been expanding their ETH reserves. Additionally, investment management giant BlackRock has been shifting focus toward Ethereum, broadening its investment beyond Bitcoin.
Whales and Projects Are Contributing to Rising ETH Demand
Besides institutional investors, large-scale Ethereum holders, often referred to as whales, are also becoming more active. One dormant wallet from the Ethereum ICO era recently moved 1 ETH, drawing attention due to its high unrealized gains. In parallel, major crypto ventures such as Ether Machine, backed by industry leaders like Pantera Capital and Kraken, is entering the Ethereum market with significant capital.
Following World Liberty Financial’s ETH purchase, Ethereum recorded a 2% price increase within 24 hours, reaching a daily high of $3,763. Analysts attribute the upward price movement partly to increased institutional accumulation and consistent demand from crypto whales.
