- Donald Trump’s crypto wallet holds $173M in Ethereum, reflecting high conviction amid rising institutional and developer support.
- WLFI holders vote on making the token tradable, unlocking liquidity while Trump insiders stay under lock-up to prevent market dumps.
- Ethereum’s EIP-7983 gas cap proposal aims to boost security and stability as Trump and BlackRock deepen exposure to ETH.
Donald Trump’s crypto wallet is now dominated by Ethereum, holding a $173.27 million in ETH-related assets. According to World Liberty Fi, this is a 95% of his $181.7 million portfolio. The wallet spans seven blockchain networks, yet Ethereum is the clear centerpiece. Notably, Trump’s primary ETH holding is AETHUSDT, showing strong stablecoin backing.
Besides Ethereum, his wallet holds $4.66 million on BNB Chain. This accounts for 3% of the total, mostly in U token. Mantle follows with $3.54 million in MNT tokens. These smaller allocations signal a diversified approach but still pale in comparison to the ETH dominance. Avalanche, Polygon, Base, and Optimism host minor token amounts but contribute nothing to the portfolio’s weight.
This concentration in ETH aligns with Ethereum’s recent development updates. A new proposal, EIP-7983, is gaining traction. It seeks to cap individual transaction gas usage at 16.77 million units. Vitalik Buterin and top Ethereum developers support this move. They aim to reduce spam risks and improve network stability. Most users won’t notice any impact since average gas use is far below the proposed ceiling.
WLFI Moves Toward Tradability
Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial on July 4, 2025, the team launched a community vote. The proposal seeks to unlock WLFI from its non-transferable state and enable trading. The team says this step aims to increase community engagement and encourage token-based governance.
Founders and Trump family insiders—who hold 60% of the supply—will remain under extended lock-up terms. Hence, fears of insider dumping have been addressed early. Early investors will receive partial liquidity, while the remaining tokens follow a structured release. This approach supports fair access and helps avoid market flooding.
Ethereum’s growing network maturity, paired with regulatory-focused upgrades, reflects a new chapter. The EIP-7983 proposal adds predictability, which institutions crave. Moreover, Trump’s exposure, paired with BlackRock’s ETH interests, signals a powerful shift.
