World Liberty Financial almost sold out WLFI tokens, but portfolio bleeds after Ethereum (ETH) crash

The Trump family fund, World Liberty Financial, is on track to sell out the last of the WLFI tokens. The second stage of the presale has to raise only $2M to close, opening up the next stage of the project. World Liberty Financial has almost finalized the last stage of its WLFI token presale. A little over 40M tokens remain, with a price tag of $0.05, awaiting inflows of just $2M. The fundraising remained relatively slow, as most of the buying was for retail amounts. The fund is closing its second presale, after previously placing another 25B tokens at $0.015. For now, WLFI has not attracted other large-scale buyers, and most of the purchases are similar to small donations. WLFI continues to be sold most often for Ethereum (ETH) or USDC. WLFI purchases range from as low as $10 in USDC to 3.1ETH for one of the recent additions. The latest stage increased WLFI holders to 85,569 wallets. The fund’s next stage is to run its own version of an Aave vault, providing passive income based on crypto lending. The exact use case of the WLFI token will become clearer in the future, though the asset will remain locked and non-transferable for at least a year after the presale ends. World Liberty Fi portfolio loses $3M in a day World Liberty Fi is more than a fund and was used as an indicator for reliable token selection. Despite this, estimated losses from peak value may be up to $110M . It is hard to estimate the exact losses, since the fund has traded and reorganized its portfolio to retain value. The portfolio’s goal would be to ensure collaterals for an Aave vault, which would produce passive income. For that reason, World Liberty Fi has converted some of its assets into the most widely used collaterals on Aave. As of March 10, the fund’s portfolio based on the main public wallet fell to $75M in value, down $3M in a few hours. A rough estimate shows Ethereum (ETH) is the biggest source of losses, contributing up to 65% for the loss on paper. The fund bets on the Ethereum ecosystem, with ETH and its wrapped versions as the biggest holding. World Liberty Fi consolidated its holdings, with ETH still holding a prominent position. | Source: Arkham Intelligence Currently, the fund retains 7.53K ETH, valued at over $14M. This is the fund’s biggest holding, accrued in the past weeks from WLFI purchases and trading. The fund has been known to trade actively and buy the dip on ETH. Despite this, World Liberty Fi lost 9% of the ETH value in the past day, as the asset sank under $2,000. ETH makes up over 65% of the fund’s holdings, practically making the Trump family Ethereum maximalists. Even Eric Trump, one of the persons closest to the fund, has been taken to task for his recommendation to buy ETH, just before another significant price drawdown. Some of the assets of World Liberty Fi have been moved to other wallets, though one of the public addresses remains the most active, receiving inflows from buyers. World Liberty Fi retains its TRON (TRX) holdings, which have also posted the smallest losses. The fund also expanded its Movement (MOVE) holdings. Overall, World Liberty Fi decreased its token selection, removing some of its tokens from the main wallet. After recent token movements and shifts, the fund’s portfolio is more limited. World Liberty Fi has moved its Ondo (ONDO) and Chainlink (LINK) holdings while onboarding Whitebit (WHITE). Some of the funds were shifted to WBTC, serving both as a DeFi-compatible asset and a tracker of the BTC market price. Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings?
