Why Trump’s World Liberty Financial Stacked 6 Million MNT?
Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial has again sent shockwaves across the broader market with its recent token accumulation saga this Monday. The U.S. President-backed firm accumulated nearly $3M worth of MNT tokens, bringing its total Mantle Network holdings to a whopping 6 million tokens. Notably, this accumulation follows a major mainnet hard fork upgrade on the crypto’s ecosystem.
Trump’s World Liberty Financial Stacks Up MNT Amid Hard Fork Upgrade
The latest data from Arkham Intelligence suggests that World Liberty Financial swapped 3 million USDC for 3.54 million Mantle Network coins. With this recent accumulation, the firm’s MNT holdings totaled 5.99 million tokens at an average price of $0.78.
Intriguingly, CoinGape found that the firm also bagged 725.568K coins a week ago, per Arkham data. Another transaction from the same time period surfaced, showcasing 884.726K coin accumulation for the same crypto.
Overall, WLFI accumulations occur in tandem with the completion of Mantle Network’s mainnet hard fork upgrade, which sparked significant investor curiosity.
Mantle Network Mainnet Hard Fork Upgrade: What’s The Buzz?
Last week, the crypto’s community revealed in an X post that the new hard fork upgrade is complete. This upgrade brings new technical updates such as EigenDA, support for RIP-7212, and more to the ecosystem.
EigenDA stands as a secure, high-output, decentralized data availability service on Ethereum. Overall, this update garnered significant optimism across the industry, whereas World Liberty Financial’s token accumulation added to the market buzz.
Mantle Network Price Shoots Up 8%
As of press time, MNT price witnessed an 8% pump in value, closing in at $0.8449. The crypto bottomed and peaked at $0.7828 and $0.8467 in the past 24 hours. Intriguingly, the rising price action amid the optimistic developments such as WLFI’s accumulations and the network upgrade ignited investor bullishness on future prospects.
On the other hand, Coinglass data continued solidifying this bullishness, underscoring strong market demand for the asset. Mantle Network’s futures OI soared 17% intraday, reaching $25.42 million. On the other hand, the derivatives volume also witnessed a staggering 582% surge to $20.96 million. As a result, crypto market watchers weigh substantial market optimism on the token’s upcoming movements.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that a Mantle Network price prediction by CoinGape revealed that the crypto’s technical chart on the weekly time frame illustrates a bullish engulfing pattern. This pattern suggests a strong momentum favoring buyers, such as Trump’s organization.
Some other tokens held by World Liberty Financial include ETH, TRX, MOVE, AVAX, etc. Intriguingly, CoinGape previously reported that WLFI completed its token sale, raising a total of $550 million, another landmark achievement in the industry.

Solana memecoin Bonk Inu has completed the purchase of the multichain art marketplace Exchange Art. While the purchase is a surprise for community members, speculators have their eyes peeled on a potential rally for BONK price.
Bonk Inu Completes Exchange Art Acquisition
According to a post on X, Solana-based project Bonk Inu has outrightly purchased Exchange Art. While the announcement did not disclose the figures surrounding the deal, Bonk Inu says it will preserve art on the Solana network.
The acquisition will see the phasing out of Exchange Art’s leadership and replacement with a brand-new team. Internationally exhibited artist JT Liss has been tapped to lead the operations at Exchange Art amid grand plans to improve Solana’s creator economy.
“Bonk has officially acquired the art marketplace Exchange Art,” read the announcement. “The goal? To preserve and elevate the culture around creating, collecting, and appreciating art on-chain.”
Bonk Inu co-founder TheOnlyNom disclosed that the top Solana memecoin will continue Exchange Art’s streak of promoting art in the ecosystem. The co-founder confirmed plans to integrate Exchange Art with the BONK Art Masters initiative.
“It’ll continue to expand the reach of artists creating works on the platform, improving the financial incentives for both creators and collectors,” said TheOnlyNom.
Price To Rally On The Back Of The Acquisition?
At the moment, the BONK price is largely uneventful following reports of Exchange Art Acquisition. It has fallen by 6% over the last 24 hours and currently trades at $0.00001361.
The meme coin indicates no signs of an upswing, with daily trading volumes down by 30% over the last day at $107 million. The dog-themed coin has lost 77% since hitting its previous all-time high, but community sentiment remains enthusiastic.
On the other hand, Solana (SOL) price is up 2% amid frenetic meme coin activity in its ecosystem. On the back of meme coin activity on the network, pundits say SOL can rally 96% to reach $270.
Despite the buzz around dog-themed tokens, Cathie Wood predicts that memecoins will lose value in the coming years.

A renowned crypto market expert sent shockwaves across the broader sector this Thursday by projecting a highly bullish outlook for XRP price. Analyst Dark Defender has forecasted that an $8 price target for the crypto looms right over the horizon. In the wake of XRP ETF and Ripple IPO odds gaining substantial weight, traders and investors are highly optimistic that this bullish prediction will be accurate.
Market Expert Predicts XRP Price To $8 Despite Turbulence
XRP price is currently trading at the $2.35 level, down nearly 4% in the past 24 hours. The American blockchain payment company’s crypto bottomed at $2.33 intraday. Notably, the weekly chart for the coin further shows a nearly 6% dip in value. However, despite the broader waning action, market experts believe price can rally ahead.
According to analyst Dark Defender’s X post on March 27, Ripple’s coin is targeting $5.85 and $8.076 shortly ahead. The analyst cites these bullish targets based on price analysis of a 3-month time frame chart.
Taking into consideration January, February, and March, the analyst highlights that a 3-month candle will close by this month’s end. “When you zoom out, you can see a clear bullish momentum” for the coin, the analyst added based on his analysis.
For context, while larger time frames (like 3-month charts) are often used to assess the overall trend, smaller ones are used for short-term trading. In conclusion, after a broader time frame analysis by Dark Defender, the analyst strongly believes that XRP price target for the 3rd wave remains ultimately at $8.
Can $8 Prediction Come True? Ripple IPO & XRP ETF Odds Spark Optimism
Simultaneously, broader market advancements for the Ripple community have added to hopes of a looming bull run. In a riveting turn of events, following the SEC lawsuit settlement, market participants are now eyeing a Ripple IPO (Initial Public Offering). CoinGape reported that although there have been no official announcements yet, experts believe such a feat will happen in the next 12 to 18 months.
While this mover could fuel a remarkable bull run for XRP price, soaring Ripple ETF odds have added further optimism. Recent Polymarket data indicated that there is an 85% chance of an ETF approval by this year (2025).
In turn, bullish market sentiments surrounding the crypto continue to rise. Also, it’s worth mentioning that the RLUSD stablecoin-fueled hype has injected further optimism for future movements.
XRP Derivatives Market Overview
Meanwhile, Coinglass data indicated that XRP futures OI rose from the $2 billion level and closed in on $4 billion since March 12 to date. This data indicated renewed market interest in the crypto amid broader advancements.
Simultaneously, the coin’s derivatives volume was also up 24% today, reaching $5.35 billion. Overall, market watchers remain highly bullish on the crypto’s long-term prospects due to the broader dynamics.

DeFi protocol Linear Finance faced a severe setback this Thursday as the company announced plans to cease operations. In an official X post on March 27, the entity made a ‘Notice of Closure’ announcement. The protocol’s native token LINA also crashed hard, extending weekly losses to nearly 70% amid the project encountering turbulent waters.
Linear Finance Issues ‘Notice Of Closure,’ Here’s Why
In its recent X post, Linear Finance revealed that the tough decision to pull the plug is attributed to the firm’s financial struggles. Despite recurrent efforts to foster innovation and growth, the DeFi protocol has failed to generate sustainable returns.
As a direct response, the entity announced a ‘Notice of Closure,’ turning heads across the broader market. The announcement revealed that ‘outside of a brief period of profitability during its initial launch in 2019/20, the project has faced burgeoning financial challenges.’
DeFi Protocol Faces Setback As Functioning Model No Longer Available
Initially, the project was funded via a combination of personal contributions by the project owner and token liquidations. However, Linear Finance announced that this model is no longer feasible. In turn, the company announced plans to end the run.
Meanwhile, it’s also worth pointing out the recent setback presented by Binance. The cryptocurrency exchange giant earlier announced plans to delist the LINA token, adding to its struggles. The DeFi entity revealed that the delisting saga chronicle on one of the top crypto exchanges slammed 65% of the coin’s market cap.
Keeping in mind the abovementioned setbacks, a ‘Notice of Closure’ was issued. The project’s key stakeholders also made a collective decision to wind down operations.
LINA Price Crashes
As of press time, LINA price witnessed a 6% dip and exchanged hands at $0.0006215. The coin’s intraday low and high were $0.0006091 and $0.0009516, respectively.
Weekly and monthly charts for the token showcased a 67% and 72% crash, respectively. The bearish price movement comes primarily attributed to Binance’s delisting and Linear Finance pulling the plug on operations. Currently, crypto market participants continue to await further details on the matter.
