World Liberty Financial On Tron Buying Spree, 100% TRX Price Rally Ahead?
Donald Trump’s DeFi project World Liberty Financial is on a Tron buying spree after loading up on Ethereum earlier this week. In the last few hours, the project spent a total of $2.65 million USDT stablecoin to load up its TRX holdings. As a result, the TRX price is seeing a strong 5.76% surge amid fresh buying interest for the altcoin.
World Liberty Financial Accumulates Tron (TRX)
World Liberty Financial, the Donald Trump-owned DeFi project, has been aggressively expanding its crypto holdings with fresh Tron purchases. Data from Arkham Intelligence shows that the project has recently spent 2.65M USDT to acquire 10.81M TRX.
Following the current acquisition, the DeFi project holds a total of 30.11M $TRX, valued at $7.38M. The latest purchase by the DeFi project comes following massive Ethereum purchases earlier this week.
Additionally, on-chain data shows that World Liberty swapped 5,252 ETH, worth 17.43M, for stETH, and later staked it with Lido Finance. Over the past three days, the fund has invested a total of $168.4M in six tokens.
This includes $99.95M in Ethereum, $47M of WBTC, $7.35M in Tron (TRX), and another $4.7M each in AAVE, ENA, and LINK. Interestingly, World Liberty Financial has increased its positions in every token except ONDO, reported Spot on Chain.
Justin Sun Celebrates the Development
Tron founder Justin Sun celebrated this development while making big investment promises moving ahead. In his message on the X platform, Sun noted:
“Bought again! TRON has now become the 3rd largest asset held by World Liberty Financial, the president’s crypto project, with a current holding of $7.3 million TRX”.
Furthermore, Sun made big investment promises while commenting on Eric Trump’s post. Earlier today, Eric Trump noted that there’s no better time to invest in the United States and invest across sectors like technology, innovation, and crypto. Responding to this Sun said:
“Fully agreed! We have an outstanding plan that will bring over $200 billion worth of business to the United States. This will be massive and meaningful!”
Tron founder Justin Sun is himself one of the early investors in World Liberty Financial. Earlier this week, he expanded his investments into the DeFi project by acquiring WLFI tokens and taking total investments to $75 million.
TRX Price to Rally 100% From Here?
As of press time, the Tron price is trading 5.7% up at $0.251. As per the Coinglass data, the Tron futures open interest is up 14% to $258 million hinting bullish sentiment among traders.
The TRX price has been trading within a broad descending channel for the past several weeks, following a sharp rally to $0.45 in December. This price action has resulted in several swing highs and lows, indicating a battle between buyers and sellers.
On the RSI, there is a hint of a potential bullish divergence. A falling wedge pattern is emerging, suggesting a possible upside breakout. Additionally, Fibonacci retracement levels point to a potential move toward $0.30 at the 0.50 RSI level and $0.33 at the 0.382 RSI level. In his recent analysis, crypto analyst AMCrypto stated that the TRX price could reach as high as $0.50 by the end of Q1.

Crypto Market Highlights: Another week has ended within the unpredictable world of cryptocurrencies, and investors are left cautious due to turbulent price actions. Bitcoin (BTC) price has traded around the same level in the past 7 days, whereas Ethereum (ETH) managed to lose nearly 1% within the exact duration. Ripple’s XRP price continued its consolidation phase this week, adding to speculations about its future price movements.
Mentioned below are some of the most buzz-worthy cryptocurrency market highlights reported by CoinGape Media over the past week.
Crypto Market Highlights: BTC Updates This Week
BTC price shut the week at around the $85K level, riding a roller coaster in the past seven days. The weekly bottom and peak for the flagship crypto were recorded at $83K and $86K, respectively. This turbulent price action comes despite a stockpile of bullish developments that appear to have considerably impacted investor sentiment this week.
CoinGape reported that Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy again purchased 3,459 Bitcoin for $285 million and rattled the crypto market. The MSTR stock price also surged subsequently.
Further, Semler Scientific filed to buy $500 million worth of Bitcoin amid its $30 million DoJ settlement this week. With this mover, the firm aimed to boost its Bitcoin reserves despite the broader market uncertainty.
Meanwhile, it’s worth pointing out that U.S. President Donald Trump announced up to 245% tariffs on China this week. On the other hand, China was apparently mulling over the sale of 15K BTC, another intriguing development that captured investors’ attention globally.
Besides, BTC whales were recorded as absorbing 300% of the flagship coin’s new supply, sparking optimistic speculations about long-term price prospects.
Ethereum & XRP Developments
ETH is trading around a $1,600 price level, losing roughly 3% in the last 7 days. Despite this waning action, CoinGape has reported that a rally to $4,800 awaits the second-largest crypto by market cap. This bullish ETH price projection comes as the coin is trading on the north side of a key resistance trend.
However, it’s also worth pointing out that Ethereum faced increased selling pressure due to heightened whale dumps this week. In response to this, market participants are conversely anticipating a potential dip below $1.5 may also be possible.
Besides, Ethereum ETFs recorded $32 million worth of weekly outflows this week, adding further risk to the asset’s price.
In addition, Ethereum fees have also witnessed a severe price decline as user activity decreased amid the recent market turmoil.
XRP price stood at the $2.08 price level after witnessing a highly volatile trading session over the past week. Despite soaring ETF odds, the crypto has yet to see a rising price action. Notably, 9 XRP ETFs have been filed to date, including Bitwise, 21Shares, Grayscale, and Canary Capital.
On the other hand, Ripple whales have also moved hundreds of millions of dollars worth funds this week.
The XRP lawsuit advanced as the U.S Court of Appeals granted Ripple and the SEC’s motion to suspend their appeals while they finalized the settlement. Overall, the abovementioned updates were some of the top crypto market highlights reported by CoinGape Media over the past week.

As Solana continues its ascent, experts are not writing off Ethereum’s chances to compete favorably in decentralized finance (DeFi). Uniswap founder Hayden Adams wants Ethereum to hone in on Layer 2 scaling to even the odds with Solana.
Uniswap Founder Wants Ethereum To Continue Horizontal Scaling
The calls for Ethereum to focus on Layer 2 scaling are growing louder, with Uniswap founder Hayden Adams joining the train. The Uniswap founder disclosed his stance in an X post, calling for Ethereum to continue its Layer 2 scaling development.
Adams notes that Layer 2 solutions remain Ethereum’s best chance to keep its skin in the DeFi game amid rising competition from Solana. He notes that Solana is better suited to do DeFi on its layer 1, given its roadmap and overall approach compared to Ethereum.
Ethereum, aware of the challenges of its Layer 1, has pivoted to an L2-focused roadmap since 2020. However, a broad ecosystem focus for Layer 2 scaling solutions has left the base layer without major updates for a while, whipping up conversations for a change in approach.
Despite the push for a return to a Layer 1-focused approach, the Uniswap founder wants Ethereum to continue on its existing roadmap. He took swipes at community members pushing for a change in strategy every month, urging them to “pick a lane” and mitigate the attendant risks.
“Ethereum has been working towards an L2-centric/horizontal scaling roadmap for 5+ years,” said Adams. “You want to throw this away at the final stretch because of what reason?”
Ethereum and Solana are going neck and neck with each other with a Coingape analysis weighing whether ETH price will hit $3 before SOL clinches $200.
A Layer 1-centric Approach Is Still Acceptable
The Uniswap founder disclosed in the post that he remains open to the possibility of a pivot to a Layer 1-centric approach. However, the approach has to be explicit and realistic, with Adams recommending key network changes.
“I’m fine with L1-centric scaling approach if it’s explicit and approached realistically,” said the Uniswap founder. “We would have to drop a ton of philosophical stuff like any laptop can run a node.”
He adds that Uniswap’s largest market share comes from Layer 1, making a pivot still a win for his project. However, the approach inflames centralization risks affecting the ability of individuals to run full nodes.
Amid the raging conversations for scaling direction, Ethereum is facing its worst quarterly price performance in nearly a decade. ETH targets a $1600 breakout as prices continue to wallow under $2,000 since slipping below the psychological level.
Tron founder Justin Sun says he is not selling his ETH holdings despite falling prices, pledging to collaborate with Ethereum developers to trigger ecosystem growth.

As Consensus 2025 inches closer, a buzz is swelling in the Pi Network ecosystem over potential growth opportunities. Ahead of the event, a cryptocurrency analyst wants the Pi Core Team (PCT) to wrap up two critical matters to reap the rewards of Consensus 2025.
Consensus 2025 Offers A Huge Opportunity For Pi Network
Cryptocurrency expert Dr Altcoin has described the incoming Consensus 2025 as a pivotal moment for the Pi Network. According to an X post, Dr Altcoin noted that the event will provide a raft of promotional benefits for Pi Network, urging the PCT to seize the moment.
“Consensus 2025 Summit is a huge opportunity to promote Pi Network – and one of the best so far!” wrote Dr Altcoin.
Pi Network founder Nicolas Kokkalis joins an exclusive list of industry players tapped to speak at the premier cryptocurrency summit. Kokkalis’ inclusion sent ripples across the Pi ecosystem with community members lapping up the reports.
The event, described as “the Super Bowl of Blockchain” and the “World Cup of Web 3,” will have over 20,000 individuals in attendance from over 100 countries. Scheduled for May 14-16 in Toronto, the Summit will feature industry heavyweights with a combined assets under management exceeding $4 trillion.
Kokkalis will share the stage with Bo Hines and Eric Trump in a golden opportunity to promote the Pi Network. Kokkalis has previously come under criticism for failing to make public appearances, unlike other blockchain founders.
Details of Kokkalis’ speech are under wraps, but there is growing belief that it will revolve around decentralized growth and the network’s adoption strategy. Pi Network has unveiled further details around its tokenomics, earmarking 65 billion Pi for community mining rewards.
Dr Altcoin Urges PCT To Put Its House In Order Ahead Of The Summit
While Consensus 2025 is poised to offer Pi a raft of benefits, Dr Altcoin notes that the Pi Core Team has to tick a few boxes. For starters, Dr Altcoin is pushing for the PCT to approve all KYB applications ahead of Consensus 2025.
Secondly, the cryptocurrency expert wants the PCT to officially deploy decentralized applications (DApps) on the Pi Network.
The PCT has less than a month to approve the KYB applications and give the green light for DApps. Pi Network has received criticism for the slow pace of processing KYB applications, leading to PiDaoSwap launching NFTs on BNB Chain.
Pi is trading at $0.6477 with Pi Coin tapped to reach highs of $30 if major banks adopt Pi Network. However, investors are bracing themselves for short-term volatility after suspicious account activity on Banxa.
