Recent data from Etherscan reveals that the project has acquired over 1,481 ETH in a single day, continuing its strategy of buying during market dips.

Despite the broader decline in crypto prices, WLFI’s cumulative ETH purchases total $35 million, with an average cost per ETH at $3,651. However, due to the recent price slump, the project’s losses on Ethereum have narrowed to $3.4 million, down from prior estimates.
Diversified Holdings and Recent Purchases
WLFI’s cryptocurrency portfolio is not limited to Ethereum. The project also holds 103.15 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) worth $9.83 million, 6,137 AAVE tokens valued at $1.84 million, and 78,387 Chainlink (LINK) tokens totaling $1.75 million.
Additionally, WLFI possesses holdings in less well-known tokens like ENA and ONDO, which are valued at $740,000 and $230,000, respectively.
The recent addition of 1,481 ETH at an average price of $3,374.79 brings the project’s total ETH purchases in December to over 9,500 ETH. WLFI also exchanged $10.4 million of Coinbase-backed cbBTC for Wrapped Bitcoin after Coinbase announced its plans to delist the asset.
Justin Sun’s Involvement Boosts Project
The project received a financial boost last month after Tron blockchain founder Justin Sun became its largest investor. Sun invested $30 million in WLFI tokens, bringing total token sales to $50 million. Before this, the project had sold less than a quarter of its $300 million WLFI token goal.
The involvement of prominent figures like Sun has drawn attention to the project. Blockchain analysts suggest the strategy of acquiring high-profile tokens like Ethereum and Bitcoin may enhance investor trust in WLFI. However, the project’s long-term success hinges on its ability to generate revenue and meet its token sale targets.

Concurrently, WLFI’s acquisitions come as Ethereum price hovers near the $3,300 mark, with analysts predicting further price movements in the lead-up to the holiday season. Experts suggest that whale accumulation, like today’s 8,440 $ETH($28.43M) whale move coupled with strong on-chain metrics, could drive ETH prices toward $5,000 by the end of December.
