World Liberty Financial (WLFI), President Trump’s decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, has made another monster crypto purchase.
According to data on Arkham Intel, the platform added 3,473 Ethereum (ETH) to several wallets on Tuesday, July 22, which was then staked on the decentralized staking protocol Aave.
With the average ETH price of $3,743 at the time of buying, the purchase amounts to nearly $13 million.
Right now, WLFI holds a total of 73,616 ETH, valued at over $275 million.

Compared to the platform’s crypto holdings at the end of H1 2025, which sat at $178.15 million, the new number marks a 54.37% increase in less than a month.
Ethereum adoption accelerates
With the current price of $3,673 (up 63.78% in the past month), Ethereum is currently trading well above its major moving averages, with a possible price target of $3,800 by the end of the month.
Institutional demand is also picking up, as improved regulatory clarity in the U.S. is creating a more favorable trading environment. President Trump recently signed the GENIUS Act into law, a bipartisan measure establishing a federal framework for digital assets and stablecoins.
Capitalizing on the momentum, SharpLink Gaming alone bought 79,949 ETH between July 14 and July 20 at an average price of $3,238, bringing its total holdings to 360,807 ETH. The acquisition was funded through a $96.6 million equity program, making SharpLink the largest corporate holder of Ethereum to date.
The appeal is also reflected in exchange-traded fund (ETF) performance. Indeed, ETH has even outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) over the past month, rising 63.78% compared to “digital gold’s” 17.12% gain.
Given the strategic treasury adoption and surging ETF inflows, analysts are expecting a lot from Ethereum. Sean Dawson, for example, Head of Research at Derive, projected in a talk with Decrypt that the cryptocurrency could hit $8,000 by the end of the year.
