A crypto wallet reportedly tied to World Liberty Financial (WLFI)—a project sometimes associated with the Trump family—has sold off a large amount of Ethereum (ETH), sending ripples through the crypto community.
Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain reported that 5,471 ETH, worth about $8.01 million at the time, was sold in a single transaction. The sale price was $1,465 per ETH, drawing attention not only for its size but because it likely represents steep losses for the seller.

WLFI Faces Significant Loss on ETH Sale
If this wallet connection is accurate, the sale marks a major realized loss for WLFI holdings. The project is believed by some market watchers to have originally purchased a larger sum of 67,498 ETH at an average price near $3,259 per token, totaling an initial investment around $210 million. Comparing the sale price to that average purchase price indicates a loss of over 55% on the ETH sold.
Based on current market prices around $1,400-$1,500 per ETH, the remaining reported WLFI holding still faces a substantial paper loss exceeding $100 million. WLFI previously gained attention partly due to its reported links with the Trump family.

Eric Trump was named in some reports as a “Web3 ambassador” for a related project. His earlier public bullishness on Ethereum now contrasts sharply with the asset being down more than 40% since some of those comments were made, according to TradingView data.
Ethereum Price Remains Under Pressure
As per the data from CoinMarketCap, Ethereum trades at $1,488.08, down more than 5% in the past 24 hours. The token faces significant resistance levels overhead, including the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $1,796 and the 50-day EMA at $2,068.
According to prominent analyst Ali Martinez, ETH could continue to crash until it reaches the $1,200 price tag, where the second-largest digital asset could find its “footing.”
The daily chart confirms a very low Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading near 25.61, signaling that ETH is currently deeply oversold. While oversold conditions can sometimes precede bounces, the RSI’s downward direction suggests a potential retest of the $1,200 support level remains possible.
