SEI Price Jumps 7.3% As World Liberty Financial Loads Up 541,242 Coins

Published by

Donald Trump’s DeFi project World Liberty Financial continues fresh crypto, acquiring another 541,242 SEI coins. This news was enough to push the SEI price up by 7.3% while the broader crypto market consolidates. The recent acquisition comes despite the Trump portfolio for digital assets sitting on a $124 million loss.

SEI Price Rallies After Donald Trump’s DeFi Project Investment

Amid the week of strong crypto market correction, the SEI price has bounced back from the bottom of $0.18, thereby gaining an additional 7% today, and inching closer to $0.20 levels. Also, the daily trading volume for SEI has shot up by 17% to more than $127 million, showing a strong bullish sentiment for the altcoin.

The recent SEI price pump comes as Donald Trump’s blockchain-focused venture, World Liberty Financial, has made another significant investment, purchasing 541,242 SEI tokens for $100,000 USDC at an average price of $0.185, as data from Spot On Chain.

The project’s total SEI holdings now stand at 1.089 million tokens, acquired at a cumulative cost of $225,000. However, due to the recent market fluctuations, their current value has dropped slightly to $207,000. The Trump portfolio, which holds a total of 9 crypto tokens, is currently sitting at a cumulative loss of $124 million on its investment value of close to $340 million.

On the technical chart, SEI price is positioning for a potential short-term breakout from its descending triangle pattern on the hourly chart. A decisive rebound from key resistance zones could trigger a substantial price movement.

World Liberty Financial on Crypto Buying Spree

Despite the broader crypto market downtrend since late February, World Liberty Financial has aggressively expanded its crypto portfolio, investing $21.6 million in prominent assets such as Ethereum (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Move (MOVE), and SEI.

Last week itself, it added the Donald Trump’s DeFi project invested $10 million each into Ethereum (ETH) and Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC).

In February, World Liberty Financial unveiled its new Macro Strategy Reserve, a strategic initiative aimed at fortifying its presence in the cryptocurrency sector. The Reserve focuses on diversifying WLFI’s holdings across a range of digital assets to provide financial stability. By spreading investments, the reserve seeks to mitigate market volatility while ensuring the platform’s long-term resilience and sustainability in the evolving crypto landscape.

Recent Partner With Sui

The Donald Trump’s DeFi project also announced its recent partnership with Sui on key development opportunities. As part of this partnership, it will also build a strategic SUI reserve.

Evang Cheng, a founding contributor to Sui, stated that the synergy between Sui’s cutting-edge technology and WLFI’s ambitious vision could revolutionize the way assets are stored and utilized globally.
