World Liberty Financial Selling Ethereum (ETH) At Loss? What’s Happening

Published by

With the ETH price crashing to $1,400, latest reports suggest that World Liberty Financial, the Trump-backed DeFi project, has started offloading their Ethereum holdings at a loss. Ethereum hasn’t respected any support levels so far and has dropped 56.86% since the beginning of 2025. However, it seems that even institutions have started losing interest in the asset class.

World Liberty Financial Selling Ethereum At Loss

Donald Trump’s decentralized finance (DeFi) venture, World Liberty Financial, appears to have started liquidating Ethereum (ETH) holdings at a significant loss. As per the data from blockchain analytics firm Arkham, a wallet potentially linked to the project has executed a sale of 5,471 ETH—worth approximately $8.01 million—at a price of $1,465 per ETH, roughly 4 hours ago.

Previously, the organization reportedly spent $210 million to acquire 67,498 ETH at an average purchase price of $3,259 per token. With ETH trading significantly below its acquisition price, World Liberty is currently sitting on an estimated unrealized loss of $125 million.

Apart from this, long-term Ethereum holders have also given up hope liquidating their holdings. A prominent Ethereum whale has finally exited their position after holding 10,000 ETH for over 900 days, according to Arkham Intelligence.

The whale sold their entire ETH holdings for $15.71 million earlier today, locking in a profit of $2.75 million. The investor initially purchased the 10,000 ETH for $12.95 million at an average price of $1,295 in two transactions on October 4 and November 14, 2022.

Despite continuing to hold when ETH touched $4,000, with a $27.6 million profit, the whale seems to have finally given up at lesser gains. Now, with World Liberty Financial offloading its holdings, investors are carefully waiting on the edge, which could trigger a major retail dump.

What Happens to ETH Price Next?

So far in 2025, Ethereum bears had the upper hand, breaking under every support level, and giving bulls several nightmares. Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez has identified $1,200 as a potential support level for Ethereum (ETH) amidst its ongoing market downturn.

Martinez’s analysis suggests that the $1,200 price point could act as a key area for ETH to regain stability while avoiding any further decline.

Another analyst venturefounder believes Ethereum (ETH) is either at its cycle bottom or approaching it rapidly. The analyst speculates that ETH could reach its lowest point by the end of April. However, he expects the Fed rate cuts to come in May and the possible beginning of another round of quantitative easing (QE). This liquidity infusion could help ETH rally further from here.
