Sending tokens to an exchange usually signals a sell-off, but given the recent acquisition and Eric Trump’s bullish tweet, it appears they’re holding for the long term.
Current Nansen data indicates World Liberty’s holdings have decreased to $47 million in ETH and slightly over $5 million in STETH.
The movement follows World Liberty Financial’s $48 million Ethereum purchase last month at an average price of $3,300.
The activity coincides with the Trump family’s recent involvement in the crypto sector, including their connection to World Liberty Financial, a DeFi venture, and their launch of several meme coins.
