- WLFI purchased $775K worth of SEI tokens using USDC, reinforcing its focus on emerging DeFi assets.
- The SEI token surged 27 percent in price after WLFI’s transaction, signaling strong investor response.
- WLFI holds a diversified $346.8M crypto portfolio but currently faces a $145.8M unrealized loss.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto fund financially linked to members of the Trump family, has added $775,000 worth of SEI tokens to its portfolio. The purchase was made using USDC stablecoins and was executed through one of WLFI’s active trading wallets.
According to Arkham Intelligence, a blockchain analytics firm, the transaction originated from WLFI’s primary wallet. The wallet has previously been used to accumulate various altcoins, including TRX, AVAX, and ONDO. The SEI acquisition aligns with WLFI’s ongoing diversification efforts in emerging blockchain networks.
SEI token gains attention for trading performance
The SEI token, native to the Sei Network, has seen growing interest due to its high-speed parallel execution designed for decentralized finance platforms. Following WLFI’s investment, SEI’s token price surged over 27 percent, reaching around $0.178. Trading volume also saw a significant increase, reflecting heightened market activity after the fund’s move.
Blockchain researcher Lookonchain reported that WLFI has spent approximately $346.8 million across 11 different digital assets. However, the overall portfolio remains down by $145.8 million. Losses on Ethereum alone exceed $114 million, despite ETH being one of the fund’s foundational holdings.
WLFI denies ETH sell-off rumors
Recent wallet activity sparked speculation of an $8 million Ethereum sale. WLFI representatives clarified the fund had not liquidated ETH or any major holdings. The movement was labeled a normal rebalancing action, consistent with its long-term investment strategy.
WLFI’s decision to acquire SEI highlights its focus on scalable blockchain infrastructure. The fund continues to back assets with long-term value potential and relevance to decentralized finance. Its dual approach combines large-cap assets like BTC and ETH with early-stage tokens to create a balanced, high-upside portfolio.
Operating under public scrutiny, WLFI has continued to attract attention due to its connections with the Trump family. Rather than retreating, the fund appears to embrace its visibility to position itself as an institutional player in the crypto space.
