World Liberty Financial (WLFI) Expands Digital Asset Portfolio with $775K SEI Token Purchase

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the cryptocurrency project backed by the Trump family, has expanded its digital asset portfolio

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the cryptocurrency project backed by the Trump family, has expanded its digital asset portfolio with a new purchase of SEI tokens valued at $775,000, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence.

As reported by Lookonchain, WLFI acquired 4.89 million SEI tokens on April 12, utilizing one of its trading wallets that had received USDC transfers from the project’s main wallet. This latest acquisition adds to WLFI’s diverse cryptocurrency holdings, which now include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, Ondo Finance, Avalanche, and SEI.

According to Lookonchain’s analysis, WLFI has invested a total of $346.8 million to accumulate tokens across 11 different cryptocurrencies. However, the project has yet to see profits on any of these investments. The current portfolio is experiencing a collective paper loss of approximately $145.8 million, with Ethereum investments alone accounting for over $114 million in losses.

This poor performance is particularly interesting given Eric Trump’s public endorsement of Ethereum earlier this year. On February 3, Donald Trump’s son posted on X (formerly Twitter): "In my opinion, it’s a great time to add $ETH."

The timing of that advice has proven unfortunate. Since Eric Trump’s post, Ethereum’s price has fallen around 55%, dropping from $2,879 to approximately $1,611 at current trading levels.

Despite these losses, it seems that World Liberty Financial is continuing its altcoin acquisition strategy. The recent SEI purchase showcases the project’s commitment to building a diversified crypto portfolio regardless of short-term market fluctuations.

The SEI token price has seen a strong upward movement following World Liberty Financial’s purchase. The token has gained over 27% in value during the past week and is now trading above $0.17.

Technical analysts point to what some describe as a “falling wedge breakout pattern” for SEI, potentially predicting a positive reversal. Some market watchers estimate a short-term price target of $0.34, which would represent a 100% increase from current levels if momentum continues.

For a confirmed bullish trend reversal, analysts suggest SEI needs to hold and close above $0.22, a key structural pivot point. If this level breaks with sustained upward momentum, future resistance levels to watch include $0.28, $0.40, and eventually $1.04.

In a related development, an icon for World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin, USD1, has appeared on major cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase and Binance, as well as on the crypto aggregator website CoinMarketCap. This seems to be an unofficial logo unveiling, as World Liberty Financial has not announced any details about USD1’s branding.

Trump’s involvement with the USD1 stablecoin has drawn criticism from lawmakers across the political spectrum. During an April 2 U.S. House Financial Services Committee hearing on stablecoin legislation, Democratic Representative Maxine Waters expressed concerns that President Trump might eventually plan to replace the U.S. dollar with USD1.

“Trump likely wants the entire government to use stablecoins, from payments made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to Social Security payments to paying taxes. And which coin do you think Trump would prefer to use for these payments? His own, of course,” said Maxine Waters.

The committee’s Republican chair, French Hill, shared similar reservations about potential conflicts of interest. “If there is no effort to block the president of the United States of America from owning his stablecoin business, or if the administration would be able to direct all government entities to use only one type of stablecoin, I will never be able to agree on supporting this bill, and I would ask other members not to be enablers,” said French Hill.

Despite these concerns, World Liberty Financial continues to expand its cryptocurrency operations and portfolio. The project recently denied reports suggesting it had sold any of its Ethereum or other positions, countering claims that a wallet belonging to the project had sold approximately $8 million worth of ETH.

As SEI and other altcoins in World Liberty Financial’s portfolio experience price volatility, market participants are closely watching whether buyers can maintain bullish momentum or if sellers will regain control of price action in the coming weeks.
