The 'World Liberty Finance Initiative (WLFI)', known to be associated with President Trump, has been drawing market attention by massively purchasing Ethereum (ETH) over the past six days. A single address added 6,144 ETH today, with a cumulative purchase volume of 10,013.54 ETH. The average purchase price is approximately $3,593, with a total purchase amount of around $35.98 million (approximately 50 billion won). This is seen as a large-scale positioning that goes beyond simple investment, revealing a long-term conviction in Ethereum.
Currently, the address holds 73,616 ETH, valued at approximately $275 million (about 382.3 billion won). WLFI is analyzed to have recorded potential earnings of around $33 million (approximately 45.9 billion won). Some market participants view this as an 'aggressive accumulation strategy', and WLFI plans to list its own token 'WLFI' within the next 6-8 weeks.
Meanwhile, the buying trend of Ethereum by US institutions and high-net-worth individuals has been rapidly increasing. On the previous Tuesday alone, spot Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of $533.9 million (approximately 742.3 billion won). According to the decentralized data analysis platform Lookonchain, certain newly created wallets purchased 105,977 ETH over four days, amounting to approximately $397 million (about 551.3 billion won).
Actual individual profit cases are also emerging. One Ethereum whale recently sold 8,005 ETH, realizing a 38% return of approximately $10 million (about 13.9 billion won). Ethereum has slightly declined after eight consecutive days of rise but is still trading near its six-month high of around $3,695.
Corporate interest in Ethereum is also notably concentrated. Since 2025, four US-listed companies - Sharplink Gaming, Bitmain Emerge Tech, Bit Digital, and BTCS Inc. - have adopted the 'Ethereum Microstrategy' model, directly purchasing large amounts of ETH and implementing staking strategies. These companies hold over 810,000 ETH in total.
Additionally, a new cryptocurrency investment platform, Ether Reserve, set to be listed on Nasdaq has emerged. Sponsored by Blockchain.com, Kraken, and Pantera Capital, the company is pursuing an Initial Public Offering (IPO) under the name 'The Ether Machine'. Their goal is to raise $1.6 billion and secure 400,000 ETH. This could potentially become the largest listed investment vehicle for institutional investors to participate in Ethereum.
