The team behind President Donald Trump’s crypto operations is on an aggressive accumulation spree of crypto assets before and during the 2025 inauguration ceremony.
According to blockchain intelligence and “de-anonymizing” platform Arkham, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) – the Trump family’s crypto project – bought over $50 million worth of cryptocurrencies in the hours leading up to the new President being sworn in.
Trump’s purchases include blockchain oracle service Chainlink (LINK), lending platform Aave, Justin Sun’s TRON (TRX), synthetic dollar protocol Ethena (ENA), top smart contract Ethereum (ETH) and the Ethereum-based Bitcoin Wrapped BTC (WBTC).
