It is estimated that World Liberty Financial, a crypto initiative backed by Donald Trump, has sold some of its ETH holdings at a loss.
A whale that held 10,000 Ether for nearly 900 days has sold all of its holdings, potentially missing out on a maximum profit of $27.6 million. This amount was during the period when ETH exceeded $4,000.
On April 8, the blockchain analysis platform Lookonchain announced on X platform that this whale purchased a total of 10,000 ETH for about $13 million in October and November 2022, with an average purchase price of around $1,295.
Lookonchain stated, “Despite ETH surpassing $4,000, the whale did not sell. However, by selling today, it made a profit of $2.75 million, whereas at its peak, this profit could have reached $27.6 million.”
At the time of the sale, the price of ETH was around $1,578. According to CoinGecko data, ETH had reached a high of $4,015 on December 9 during the period when the whale held its ETH.
Currently, the price of ETH is around $1,426, and it has depreciated by 24% in the last seven days. The sharp decline is believed to be significantly impacted by the global trade tariffs announced during the Trump administration.
Did World Liberty Financial Sell ETH?
In another post on April 9, Lookonchain shared on X that a wallet potentially associated with World Liberty Financial, a project backed by Donald Trump, might have also sold Ether.
According to claims, this wallet sold 5,471 ETH, worth approximately $8.01 million, at a price of $1,465. Before this sale, the wallet contained a total of 67,498 Ether, which had been purchased at an average price of $3,259.
Other Whales Taking Action in the Market
During the sharp downturn in the crypto market, some investors made purchases while several large whales also executed noteworthy transactions.
On April 7, an unidentified investor had to add 10,000 ETH (worth around $14.5 million) to their position in order to prevent the 220,000 ETH (around $300 million) position from being liquidated.
However, not all investors were so fortunate. On April 6, a 67,570 ETH (approximately $106 million) position on the decentralized finance platform Sky was liquidated, leading to a significant loss for the investor.
